#note Playing down from the Q with this seems natural, but the top three plays play across from 10B, with CAURI at the top, scoring 28 points.

#note bot prefers just plopping down an A at the O8 hot spot, or O7 RAG. My choice restricts bingo lines when I'm holding a blank.

#note Another terrible bingo miss. Knowing the words and finding the words are two separate things.

#note Q says there are two plays in this position that actually have a chance of winning. Needless to say, this ain't one. It gives 7I F(O)E a 25 percent chance, and the one-tile play of (O)N in the same spot half of that, or 12.5 percent. Maybe Mack can give it a crack; Nigel is probably busy reviewing the German word list about now.

#note While we wrap up this root canal, let me ask if you found the 19-point play on my previous turn?
>Fiz: FKLSU 9F ..S +14 397
#note best play according to Q is 8J TSK

#note I messed up more than a few times in this one, and it might appear to the unknowing viewer that I have a win here with the out play of CIDER. But Jeff had scored his earlier play of NU incorrectly, and I didn't check it. So he actually has 400 points here, not 397. (We have a policy of not recounting casual games). But this is still embarassing.
>Fiz: FKLU - +0 397
#note Jeff sees he can play ULU but doesn't want to give me the U to play through. Apparently he missed FLU.
