#note Sunardi immediately know that I was most likely holding the X, setting for big X play
>Sunardi: CDHKLTZ L6 D.CK +14 30
#note Sunardi knows he cannot block all the X spot, but instead of just accept the "inevitable" big play, he found a way to setting himself to counter my X play, with his Z, if... he draw I or E

#note BEST, X bomb, and keep 2 blanks. What can you expect more?

#note Quackle like the idea of UNDOCK better than bingo, keeping ART??. This is the highest bingo playable in this board. However there was big drama in this play
Here's what happened
HAURIANT has variant, which much much higher probability than this word (HAURIENT), so I got a little bit naughty by playing this word, annoucing the blank as I and A, pressed the timer and than said "OH SH*T, I SAID IT I AND A, isn't it"?? I should say I and E
With HAURIENT probability order just about 500, most of master knows that word, but not this one, HAURIANT is over 5000 in probability order. Playing it instead of it's higher probability variant will much likely be challenged. Especially when you say that is what you intended to play, However...
Some players saw that in action considered I commited unethical behavior by saying a word capable of misleading the opponent decision making. Received a warning from TD which may affect some of my performance later in this tourney
The "line" of this is
It is okay to play confidently, although you are know that you play 100% phoney, to hinder the opponent from challenging, or play doubtly, expressing panic when you mis-announce the blank when you know your word is 100% valid, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T SAY ANY WORDS that may disturb your opponent decision whether to challenge it or not. You have to remain silent
>Sunardi: DEFILST K9 STIFLED +79 163
#note The only playable bingo and spot for Sunardi
>Christian_Oktavius: ADEJOSU 14J J.A.S +56 210
#note Chickened out JEANED, and don't see optimal play JEUNE in same spot
>Sunardi: ABL 15H BLA. +30 193
>Christian_Oktavius: DDEEEOU J10 UDO +18 228
#note Quackle considered this also as a best play
>Sunardi: OY 15M .OY +20 213
>Christian_Oktavius: BDEEEEE -BEEEE +0 228
#note ZEE in 8O still better play, which was what I almost play, but then decided to exchange thinking BDEEE has no good prospect for next turn. However 12 points still be just enough to justify this poor leave
>Sunardi: OOT O8 .OOT +13 226
>Christian_Oktavius: ADEENPV N10 PED +28 256
#note BEST
>Sunardi: AEGNRST K5 G.. +8 234
#note This is obvious sign that Sunardi has good tile, and try to open board for his bingo next turn
>Christian_Oktavius: ABEFNOV 4J VANE +19 275
#note 4K ABOVE far far superior play. The weight of getting caught if opponent bingo is too powerful that I forgot that to block this set-up you don't need to stick the V in front, just play a word start with A, since AGEN doesn't have front hook
>Sunardi: AENORST 14B SANTERO +72 306
#note Sunardi still has 2 playable bingo after my last blocking play
>Christian_Oktavius: BEFGIOQ 15A QI +35 310
#note BEST, with only 39% winning chance
>Sunardi: NW C13 W.N +24 330
#note Suspicious holding S in this soon to die again board
>Christian_Oktavius: BEFGIOR 3M FOB +26 336
#note 13F FOB slightly better winning chance
>Sunardi: LO O1 LO. +15 345
>Christian_Oktavius: EEGINRR 13F REG +16 352
#note I6 EMMER, altought it is risky getting punched with play like RUCHES/SEXED, the leave of RING is just powerful to be counter-back if Sunardi using his S to reach triple
>Sunardi: AELPRST 2N P. +16 361
#note Now, because this board is closed again, it is hard to judge whether this play is high enough to play for scoring, or Sunardi fishing, because his homeless bingo, waiting to me to open this board
>Christian_Oktavius: EEIINRR G6 RI.E +9 361
#note BEST... There is no need to keep the board closed. Open now.. This tile cannot help you in dying board...
>Sunardi: AEEERST 13C .E +7 368
#note 2 times dumping only 1 tiles, and this time low scoring E, clearly indicate Sunardi is sitting with almost bingo tile...
>Christian_Oktavius: AEHINRW H1 WAHINE +41 402
#note Quackle still love this play, even after specify the opponent rack partially
WAHINE score highest, but by leaving yourself with only R, it will plummet down chance that your next rack contain a bingo, which, especially when Sunardi plays indicate that most of goodies in unseen tiles are already in his rack
12D WHA/WEN score 33, leaving RINE for big chance of bingo next turn is the favourite choice for most master players, however for somehow quackle and my intuition believe this play is still better
Sunardi called for hold, but then released it, knowing that additional 5 points could be victory decider now, which immediately made me think, okay he got a bingo and ready to deploy it
>Sunardi: AEELRST 10A RELATES +69 437
#note Sunardi was too late to realize playing RELATES in that way is not only leave 1 bingo line available (well, of course he cannot block both), but also give me so many floaters, especially the R in 10A
>Christian_Oktavius: CIIRTUY E5 TRICI.Y +48 450
>Christian_Oktavius: U (challenge) +5 455
#note The only winning play!!!
>Sunardi: AAEGU G2 AUA +14 451
#note Sunardi best play, will be A6 AUGER for 18 points, which give him 8 points loss after he challenge TRICITY.... and....
HAURIANT in turn 3!!
Those 5 additional points from challenge now become significant...
With a few minutes remaining in his clock, if he can find AUGER (which is not very hard to find), he would hold on to win this game by 2 points. Only if he don't challenge HAURIANT.
