>Samuel_Kaplan: ACLORSV 8D VOCAL +28 28
#note Looks good. I wonder who will hit UNIVOCAL, SUBVOCAL, or NONVOCAL.
>Scott_Appel: ?AEILOR D7 O.ERLAIn +70 70
#note Did nothing wrong to deserve being bingoed on to start this one. I get punished for making a mistake and for not making a mistake. I'm lucky he missed E5 AER(O)fOIL for 78.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIPRSYZ 7G ZAP +50 78
#note Thankfully I would have done this either way.
>Scott_Appel: EGHIW C3 WEIGH +41 111
>Samuel_Kaplan: BIORRSY 6H BOY +25 103
>Scott_Appel: AENSW C9 WEANS +43 154
#note Nice play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DIRRSTU 9H DURR +13 116
#note Oof, J4 DR(Y)SUIT would have been worth considering had I seen that. I didn't feel that it was desperation time, hence no 4A RU(E)D. That just kills the top left of the board nicely when I'm behind, no need for that.
>Scott_Appel: BEUY K9 .EBUY +20 174
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?DGINST 2B DaTINGS +82 198
#note I was fine with this over 14I DuSTING as Scott would be required to start with a vowel in order to use Row 1 effectively.
>Scott_Appel: AIJ 1H AJI +36 210
#note And he got to it.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFNOPRR B7 PROF +45 243
#note 2J FREON and FRORE were also considered, but this keeps a better leave. If I do decide to play at 2J, both FREON and FRORE would be immediately eschewed due to massive counterplay potential.
>Scott_Appel: ADEISTU L3 DAUTIES +74 284
#note I am playing fine so far and have gotten unlucky. He bingoes no matter what because he has 11H DAU(B)IEST as well as DAUTIES.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEKMNRT L12 MARK +43 286
>Scott_Appel: DOQ 5K Q.OD +28 312
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACEINNT 15H INTA.E +30 316
#note I liked this over 15G ANTIC(K) in the hopes of getting back in the game with an S draw. I didn't see 15F NEATNI(K) in this case, but that's basically the same play as ANTIC(K) except without giving back an X-bomb.
>Scott_Appel: EFHST O1 HEFTS +51 363
#note Sigh...
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEGILNO M13 GE. +24 340
#note Looks fine. Opens another lane while behind and keeps the E in AWEIGH and the C in VOCAL open. The only problem is it keeps the C which isn't that good with the C in VOCAL.
>Scott_Appel: EIINX N10 NIXIE +42 405
#note Hmph!
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACILNOT 9A L... +7 347
#note N5 (D)ALTONIC got blocked and LACTONIC doesn't fit due to the Z being in the way. I think O8 COATI loses on the spot because that empties the bag and Scott could use Column E to take everything out. Maybe A8 AL is better just because it's 12 more and I could still hit ELECTION on Row 4 with 3 more Es unseen. #strategymedium
>Scott_Appel: ETV E5 VET. +23 428
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACEINOT O8 ICON +22 369
#note Even if I fish off the C with 12J C(UM) and draw the R, Scott just blocks CREATION with the bag being empty. COATI in the same spot would have been fine for spread since I'm not winning this game, however, I was low on time. #preendgamelarge
>Scott_Appel: LMNOORU 3I MON.O +22 450
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEET N1 AT +13 382
#note I missed I11 EATE(N) as my only out. Only lost a couple spread points here.
>Scott_Appel: LRU F8 .URL +8 458
#note Yea, this is probably my best loss on the day so far. I kept up with Scott nicely but he just didn't stop scoring and got more timely draws than I did. Great game Scott! I'm just not getting results this tournament after all. 1-3 -279.
