>Verna_Richards_Berg: IILR 8F LIRI +8 8
#note Interesting placement of LIRI
>Samuel_Kaplan: EMPRTUU F8 .UMP +14 14
#note Didn't like Q's top play of 7I MU. This is also fine.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: AGNORSV I3 SAVOR.NG +65 73
#note Going from a pretty bad leave (as it appeared to be after LIRI) to this.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEERTTU E11 UTE +14 28
#note These 1 pointers can be so damn annoying sometimes. Best play regardless.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: CHIPT D11 PITCH +45 118
#note Verna had a slightly better play of H1 CHIP. This is consistent with her general style, she does like to play off more tiles. Still a nice play on her part tho.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BEEEERT 5F BRE.ET +22 50
#note Didn't like how the board would be after H1 BEET or BEE. This forks nicely. 6th best.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: DG J4 G.D +19 137
#note Nice play. She's clearly not keeping the X after this move.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACEEFQT G7 Q. +21 71
#note THECAE 15C is interesting, maybe Verna doesn't notice the OOTHECAE extension. This is also fine, I just didn't wanna hang onto the Q because I gotta bingo fast to get back into this game. 2nd best.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: ??DDIRR 3B DeRIDeR. +66 203
#note I swear, in our matchups, either I bag Verna or she bags me. I don't recall there being any gray area. Meanwhile, her best bingo is 3B ReDbIRD(S) for 68.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACEEFGT 4A CAFE +35 106
#note Best play!
>Verna_Richards_Berg: BEY 6D BEY +31 234
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEFGLMT H1 LA.G. +31 137
#note Didn't know MARGE. That's the move in the same spot. This is 6th.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: JU 13B JU.. +22 256
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEFIMST 15A MET. +27 164
#note Wasn't willing to part ways with my S just yet. I was looking to keep the L open which goes well with a leave of EFIS. 7th.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: IORZ 1D ZORI. +24 280
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEFIISV L1 FIVES +42 206
#note Now it's time to score and leave the C open. 2nd best.
Verna told me after the game if she was up by more, she would have challenged this play, she wasn't sure if BREVET took an S.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: IIKLNOW A4 .OL +5 285
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEEIKN 14A AE +28 234
#note I can always score with the K on a future play. 1L FAKE is best but this isn't too far behind and is 2nd.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: ILT 1L .LIT +21 306
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEIKNOY 2A YOK +37 271
#note Best play!
>Verna_Richards_Berg: EHNOSWX 7C WEN +16 322
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEINNOW 8A WEEN +35 306
#note Yep. So far I've definitely showed a lot of heart in this one coming back from down more than 100 pts. Best play.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: AS 1A AS +26 348
#note Now I'm toast. She's got the last S.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAHIINO G11 AI +10 316
#note Wasn't sure how I was gonna win this one besides a bingo.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: OX 3L .OX +26 374
#note Great play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAAHINO H12 NAOI +18 334
#note Why is Q suggesting 6C OBEY? Is it to go for HARIANAS when there are no Rs left? (or SHAMIANA with no Ms left)? I don't understand. This is 4th.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: ENNOSTU 9A ONES +25 399
#note This is her best play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADHO 12A HA +20 354
#note ODAH J10 is 1 more spread point.
>Verna_Richards_Berg: NTU 13H .UNT +5 404
#note AUNT is 1 more for her.
I did a great job of maximizing the value of certian tiles, but I knew I was not winning this game after she played AS. Nice game Verna!
Meanwhile, can I get a friggin blank please?
