>Terry_Kang: IJNX H7 JINX +36 36
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEMORY 10G O.EYE +23 23
#note Nothing particuarly exciting here. The Y needed to go if I'm one to want to bingo asap. If I'm going to open up a hotspot with any reasonable move such as this or 7H (J)OEY, I might as well take the points while doing so.
>Terry_Kang: CEMR 11I MERC +29 65
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADMORT 12D MATADOR +85 108
#note Easily best.
>Terry_Kang: BDU 11C DUB +24 89
#note She did have 11E BUD for 2 more with the same tiles.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHILOST M6 HOLIEST +71 179
#note Wayyyy to many points to lose out on here. Not only was I unsure of M8 LITHOES (LITHOS* isn't good), but 13B HOSTILE plays for 90! I could have had much more on this turn. #visionlarge
>Terry_Kang: IQ 10B QI +34 123
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGLNRUU L3 GURU +15 194
#note I need to be more sure of some things. I won't continue to get away with mistakes like this. I thought it was only UNGLUED, but apparently you can perform the action in real time. Therefore, 8J UNG(L)UE is the play. #knowledgemedium
>Terry_Kang: ABLNO 8J BAL.ON +27 150
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEFLNS H12 .ELF +24 218
>Terry_Kang: DU L11 .UD +16 166
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEGLNS 13E GEN. +17 235
#note For the same reason I did DELF last turn, I'm not a fan of keeping LN together, thus I didn't do 9C GEE. I saw 13E LEG(E)S but wasn't sure if 11 more was quite large enough in this case to justify burning my S. There's enough space to bingo on this board that I thought keeping my S was fine.
>Terry_Kang: ISYZ 14L SIZY +39 205
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEELST 5E oLEASTE. +78 313
#note About time I see a blank! Yea, 15M TAE was interesting for sure. I did see it, but I figured I'm going to go up by a little over 100 and start to close off the top of the board. So might as well clamp down while I can, right? This was held but correctly accepted.
>Terry_Kang: ITW 14F WI.T +32 237
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEIIOR 15N AE +32 345
#note Figured that doing AE doesn't open up anything new for Terry to work with and scores 11 more than H1 OIDI(A).
>Terry_Kang: AEPV 4C VAPE +23 260
>Samuel_Kaplan: DIIIORR 6C IRID +21 366
#note Again, choosing the more defensive play while ahead. Therefore, no H1 OIDI(A).
>Terry_Kang: AFGN H1 FANG. +33 293
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIOORVW B6 VOW +34 400
>Terry_Kang: HOP A7 HOP +44 337
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEIINOR G1 ONE +14 414
#note Gonna take out things like (F)RACTiON, (F)ACTiONS, (F)OReCAST among other ones from the F and allow her an N which isn't easy to end with considering this pool. She will have one chance to bingo before I shut down the N.
>Terry_Kang: ?ACOSTT O2 TACTiO.S +62 399
#note OSCiTA(N)T scores the same for her as this does. But a better question is: why does 11C DUBS win 50% of the time for her? Unless there's some 9 through the NA on Row 2 that I am missing, I just don't see how DUBS wins after I just block the N in BALLON.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIIKNRR 9C KERN +26 440
#note KINE, KIER, any 4-letter K word does it.
>Terry_Kang: A B5 A... +10 409
#note Final score was recorded as 435-415. She came back nicely but thankfully I just managed to hang on. 4-2 +222.
>Terry_Kang: (IIR) +6 415
