>Dave: ABCENRW 8D BRAWN +26 26
>Clay: EEINOT D7 E.ONITE +18 18
#note (As C lays down tiles) D: I see what's coming.
#note C: No, not quite, only 18.
#note D: That's a 1980's play, going for turnover, man.
>Dave: CEGILOT 13D .CLOGITE +63 89
>Clay: IIIIIII -IIIIIII +0 18
#note D: That's what you get for giving away all those good tiles before.
>Dave: GRRSTTT F7 T.RT +6 95
#note GIRT might be better, but I was trying to take away as many of the open vowels he could play through at once.
>Clay: EEIV H11 VE.IE +30 48
>Dave: GMQRSTZ 11C Z.GS +33 128
#note Turning over more tiles to help the Q is more important than saving the S here.
>Clay: CIJNT K10 INJ.CT +30 78
#note If he hadn't gone there I was seriously considering MURDER K9 to set up the Q at 10J.
>Dave: DMQRRTU 10J Q. +31 159
>Clay: EKSY 15K .YKES +48 126
>Dave: ADMRRTU 12K .URAT +26 185
#note Maybe MATURE, but it makes the O column much easier to use for him.
>Clay: AMNOW C3 WOMAN +25 151
>Dave: ABDGHMR B5 HM +30 215
#note BAH scores seven more and turns over another tile with blanks unseen, but it also makes it easier for him to hit a big play on the A line. But there's no good excuse for playing HM here instead of at D4 for the same score.
>Clay: AOV A6 AVO +23 174
>Dave: ABDGRUX G12 B.X +25 240
>Clay: HOOP D1 HOOP +39 213
>Dave: ADFGORU O8 FUGA.O +30 270
>Clay: AIN E1 AIN +16 229
>Dave: DDDEILR 1D ..ILED +30 300
#note A funny common in English but uncommon in Scrabble unplayable bingo. I laid down DIEHARD for a moment here, but with two S's, two blanks unseen and his last moving hinting at a strong rack it would be suicide. Maybe HADED, which I couldn't remember for sure, but playing an extra vowel is good here, as the bag is rife with blanks and vowels.
>Clay: DEEFIRS L4 DEFIERS +86 315
>Dave: ADDILRS K2 LAID +19 319
#note Another tricky choice here. Turnover seemed crucial, but I could come to regret setting up the PLAID hook. Or it might help. Who knows?
>Clay: NUY 2K .UNY +14 329
#note Makes a lot of sense. He simultaneously blocks the most likely bingo lane (column N) and takes away P plays from row 1.
>Dave: ?DEPRSU 5E PERSUa..D +74 393
#note Surprisingly, if he had left column N open, I did not have a bingo there. I did have one other bingo.
>Clay: ?EEILOR 14F O..dI. +27 356
>Dave: AA 3M AA +13 406
>Dave: (REEL) +8 414
