>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEFHNU 8F FAUN +14 14
#note Considered ENUF, FEU, and FAUN. They're all similar.
>Judy_Cole: AAAEEOU - +0 0
#note Not actual rack. Judy exchanged 5.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEHHILR 7E HEH +27 41
#note 7E over 9E so that FEZ plays don't exist. This is best.
>Judy_Cole: DLOP 6C PLOD +27 27
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIIKLRR D2 KRIL. +18 59
#note I didn't like what REIKI 9B gave back, and I don't have any of the hooks for RINK. This is 4th according to Q, there are a couple of reasonable plays.
>Judy_Cole: EGMY 3B GE.MY +22 49
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEINORZ J6 ZOA +40 99
#note Best play!
>Judy_Cole: AQT 9D QAT +20 69
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIIJNRV E9 .JI +20 119
#note Probably should have let Judy open the bottom of the board. This is 2nd to JIG B1.
>Judy_Cole: AB 2D .AB +32 101
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EINRVX D11 XI +27 146
#note This will restrict Judy's options long term unless she has an S for XIS or an A to use at 1F. Also this is best. The only 8 in this rack which I saw is VERNIXES.
>Judy_Cole: EE 6J .EE +12 113
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AENRSV 1E RAViNES +90 236
#note Judy is clearly keeping well including another E after this play. V(E)RSEmAN is beautiful, gotta see that. I saw (U)NRAVElS H8 but passed that up because I know how well Judy is keeping. This is 3rd according to Q, I'm not giving her free points with an S in a dangerous spot like that.
>Judy_Cole: DEINRTU L5 R.UNITED +70 183
#note It turns out she would have had INTRUDES for more if I placed an S at H15.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGIOOOT 4F EGO +14 250
#note Didn't really like anything here, nothing stands out. I8 NOOGIE, B1 GOGO, 12I GOODIE give up way too much.
>Judy_Cole: GOO B1 GO.O +12 195
#note Understandably Judy has to be aggressive.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILNOOTT A4 LOTION +24 274
#note No point in saving a -TION ending here, this is best. This only way I can potentially lose is by not addressing this.
>Judy_Cole: AL A1 AL +17 212
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFISTVY 2J FIVES +53 327
#note Scores the most by far and is best.
>Judy_Cole: EEIRRSS 10G RESIS.ER +62 274
#note Judy's best play was B8 SERRIES or RERISES.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADITUWY 1M WAY +34 361
#note This or YAW in the same spot are best.
>Judy_Cole: MPTU 5K T.UMP +22 296
#note PREUNITED is good. REUNITED could have been hooked for quite a bit more.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABDIITU O5 .ADI +21 382
#note Partially blocking the R in RESISTER. PTUI is a better version of this.
>Judy_Cole: CDR H3 C.RD +7 303
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?BINTUW B9 UNWITs +22 404
#note This play blocks Judy's better out bingo of ACETONE at B9.
>Judy_Cole: ACEENOT - +0 303
#note Understandably Judy challenges as this is her only hope of winning. I was willing to allow her to play ANECDOTE.
>Samuel_Kaplan: B M1 ..B +16 420
#note Not a bad start. The EGO play could have been better as well as the AJI play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (ACEENOT) +18 438
