>Yaacov_Barak: BENORZ 8H BRONZE +54 54
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?AIORVY K6 VA.ItORY +76 76
#note The only bingos are 9B OLIVARY for 70, K6 VA(N)ITORY for 76, or N3 OLIVARY for 88 but opening up the BRONZERS hook. He didn't have an S on his first turn or he would've bingoed, but with him turning over 6 tiles and me 7 it's a crapshoot for the S. It is 12 more points though. Sim likes taking the aggressive play. I spent about 6-7 minutes on this move since it seemed like there should be a better option than VANITORY, but it's just not there.
>Yaacov_Barak: IIIIII -IIIIII +0 54
>Patrick_Beatrez: AGIKNO 13I KA.OING +40 116
#note Not sure what my other tile was, but this was clearly best.
>Yaacov_Barak: ADEP O11 PA.ED +30 84
#note APED/BRONZED is 2 more points but he probably wants to leave it open at a deficit.
>Patrick_Beatrez: ACOORTY 14H CAY +35 151
#note No N to bingo through. CAY scores as well as I can and shuts off the bottom of the board. I don't really want to play with BRONZER and give him the opportunity for a big play, something like N6 TAROC for 33 keeps the Y to score, but ERS bingos will be a killer.
>Yaacov_Barak: BH J7 H.B +17 101
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEOORRT 10H TOO.ER +18 169
#note Once again the best equity plays are going to use BRONZER. I wanted to turn over the rack and get some scoring tiles. The best equity plays without BRONZER look like L8 (Z)OO for 18 or 10I RO(T)O for 16, so TOOTER scores just as much and still keeps my R in case I have a more defensive play with BRONZER.
>Yaacov_Barak: AILLV 11D VILLA +18 119
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?AEEIRS N2 fAERIES +84 253
#note No plays put a consonant next to the DLS, so FAERIES or WEARIES are the reasonable plays, maybe APERIES to put the P next to the DWS.
>Yaacov_Barak: UU F10 U.U +5 124
>Patrick_Beatrez: CDEEHRT O1 HERD +38 291
#note No place for RETCHED and no floaters, so HERD looks good. I considered D8 CHE(V)ET or CHE(V)RET to block off that side of the board, but O1 FALX for 86 would hurt.
>Yaacov_Barak: ADEEQTU 4I EQUAT.. +34 158
>Patrick_Beatrez: CEGINTW 3G TEW +20 311
#note M6 TW(E)E(R) scores 4 more with the same tiles and doesn't open anything new.
>Yaacov_Barak: ADEFM 5E FAMED +29 187
>Patrick_Beatrez: CEFGINO 2H FOCI +28 339
#note 4A FOGIE is definitely best on equity but I'm not going to do that. FOCI looks nice to block off the top. 6F GIF for 27 also blocks a line and keeps my E.
>Yaacov_Barak: IX 6F XI +54 241
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEGIMNS 4D GEM +29 368
>Yaacov_Barak: OT 14M TO. +12 253
>Patrick_Beatrez: EIIILNS 7E NIL +23 391
>Yaacov_Barak: EEII -EEII +0 253
>Patrick_Beatrez: DEIIJPS D9 JI.ED +32 423
>Yaacov_Barak: OSW C12 WOS +23 276
>Patrick_Beatrez: GILNNPS B13 GIN +17 440
#note PIN is slightly better for spread. I need to block the 15 row for stuff like NATTERS and the B column for stuff likes NUTATES.
>Yaacov_Barak: AENRSTT 15A E.TRANT +31 307
#note Best.
>Patrick_Beatrez: LNPSU 8E US +18 458
#note Tied with 15J SUP as best.
>Yaacov_Barak: S I13 ..S +7 314
#note (HOBO)S or (XI)S are best.
>Yaacov_Barak: (LNP) +10 324
