>Stefan_Fatsis: DLOP H6 PLOD +14 14
>Patrick_Beatrez: CEEHIIM I8 HEMIC +22 22
#note G7 EMIC for one less point looks better, rather than keep EI and hope to draw decently.
>Stefan_Fatsis: DFRT 11G DR.FT +18 32
>Patrick_Beatrez: DDEINOS G8 NOD.ED +23 45
#note NODDIES, I saw it and didn't like it. I should probably fish with G8 DO instead of blowing up the whole rack here.
>Stefan_Fatsis: IY 6F YI. +16 48
#note If he has anything to make a 3 with IY then he could've played for more with DRIFTY.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AAEIJSU H13 AJI +33 78
>Stefan_Fatsis: ?ABEINT L9 BAsINET +77 125
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEIOSUY F12 YOU +17 95
>Stefan_Fatsis: GINOV 15J VO.ING +30 155
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEEHIRS 15A HIREES +37 132
#note N10 HEREI(N) looks like a better opening play, I didn't spot it. 15A ASHIER also would've put the S in space which would've been easier to use.
>Stefan_Fatsis: KOP 14B KOP +36 191
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEGNQTX E10 QAT +30 162
#note Playing here for 1 less point rather than at 5E which would've made it difficult to expand to the top of the board.
>Stefan_Fatsis: AELZ M7 ZEAL +31 222
#note 5D would've been a nice way to seal the top left of the board, but this placement makes it harder to bingo on the right side.
>Patrick_Beatrez: BEEGNRX 5D REB +17 179
#note N8 NEB is crazy with SSS? remaining but maybe it's needed at this point. With 5 As left I liked opening the ABY hook, and if he takes that then at least with a G or blank I can hook ABY. Plays using the N10 spot are so much better on equity though, N10 BERG is 24 keeping ENX.
>Stefan_Fatsis: AARV 4C VARA +28 250
#note N6 VARA is 33 points and might not be as crazy as it first looks, the only way to bingo then is to play down to the G.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEEGINX N7 AXE +35 214
#note Significantly better than anything else, this sets up an S hook that I don't have yet as well as the G that I do, and scores very well. I'm going to need some help from the tile bag here, but quackle still puts me at 22% to win from here.
>Stefan_Fatsis: AF 13C FA +27 277
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEGINOO 7E OE +11 225
#note I didn't like taking the G hook but I thought I needed a better line to open. With OE I can play to the triple and open up that line for bingos. However, while holding the G maybe I should play my vowels off at 6C to not obstruct the GABY hook. Quackle wants I1 GOONIE but I'm not sure that ever works.
>Stefan_Fatsis: ATW 14K W.TA +25 302
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEGIINO 8A GENII +23 248
#note Hate playing off the G but this is the only word that plays besides GENIE, I am definitely sub 10% now.
>Stefan_Fatsis: ELNTU A8 .LUTEN +8 310
>Patrick_Beatrez: EILORSU C2 LU. +12 260
#note A fantastic draw from a pool with not many vowels. I decided to play LU(V) to make another opening, but with him up by so much even if he doesn't bingo he could use the ZAS line and not empty the bag and probably still win. D1 OUR(AR)I leaves one in the bag and leaves two vowels open, I didn't spot this play. I3 OURS also sets up another line and leaves one in the bag. I think that those plays were better than my LUV.
>Stefan_Fatsis: CNORSTU O1 CRONUTS +92 402
>Stefan_Fatsis: CNORSTU -- -92 310
#note I think he needs to just block ZA and not empty the bag here. He wasn't sure if this was a valid word and decided to try it, which threw away the game. 7L C(ZA)R or T(ZA)R would've been good blocks, something like O4 ORCS just gets bingoed out on too much.
>Patrick_Beatrez: EIORSSW C6 OW.S +12 272
#note Now knowing that GM? is in the bag and that he doesn't have any bingos available, I can fish off and assure that I have bingos in both open lines. Very lucky to be given this chance to win the game, especially after I missed my best chance in the game with NODDIES. B10 SOW is the most points I can get for the three tile fish. With EGIMRS? I immediately saw G(L)ImMERS and EMIGReS available which will both win for me.
>Stefan_Fatsis: CNORSTU O1 CRUTONS +92 402
>Stefan_Fatsis: CNORSTU -- -92 310
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?EGIMRS O1 EMIGReS +95 367
>Patrick_Beatrez: (CNORSTU) +18 385
