>Barry_Keith: AAABIOO -AAABIOO +0 0
#note Thanks to Barry for providing his racks!
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEGLNOR H7 LOGE +10 10
#note ERELONG, ugh. If I'm not going to bingo the GENRO looks better.
>Barry_Keith: AADEGNO G7 EGAD +21 21
>Patrick_Beatrez: AENNORU I8 RONNEAU +72 82
>Patrick_Beatrez: AENNORU -- -72 10
#note F9 NOUN is best. I've confused TONNEAU and RONDEAU with *RONNEAU before, maybe it'll stick this time.
>Barry_Keith: ADILNOU I7 LOAN +23 44
#note F8 ALOUD looks best to get rid of the U. He's trying to shut down the board while he has a bad rack, but since he knows I won't have any bingos here ALOUD looks good to me.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AENNORU J9 RENO +18 28
>Barry_Keith: DDIILSU 12I L.ID +10 54
#note Setting up SLOID, but 12I I(O)DID looks better.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEEJNPU L8 JAPE. +23 51
#note L7 JAUPE(D) is much better to get rid of the U and not allow easy J plays to the TWS. Honorary mention to the star play of 12D ANEUP(LOID)!
>Barry_Keith: DIISTUU 8L .UST +33 87
#note Tough rack, I don't blame him for taking the points.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEFNORU F4 ENUF +16 67
#note FURANOSE. 10L (P)OUF keeping AENR is better than ENUF anyway.
>Barry_Keith: DIIUXYY 10L .IXY +32 119
>Patrick_Beatrez: AABILOR 4C BOR.LIA +20 87
>Patrick_Beatrez: AABILOR -- -20 67
#note BARONIAL
>Barry_Keith: DIRUWYZ 5D WI.Y +20 139
#note M5 YUZ(U)
>Patrick_Beatrez: AABILOR 4B BOA +20 87
>Barry_Keith: DGORUVZ N5 VUG. +10 149
#note B1 DOR(B)UG doesn't do what he wants to the board, but it's much better on equity scoring 18 more points.
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?AEILRT J1 TAILERs +67 154
#note C2 ER(O)TIcAL. I saw B2 LI(B)ERATe, but liked how playing with FELLS didn't give him an easy play. LIBERATE is definitely better than TAILERS since it would've still left FELL open, and likely would leave more lines open on the left rather than just the B.
>Barry_Keith: CDORTWZ G2 COW. +18 167
#note Trying to block the T. COWR(Y) in the same spot to shed another consonant seems better.
>Patrick_Beatrez: CDEEIIN 1H CI.ED +30 184
#note Turns out I would've had INDICTEE had he not blocked. I missed EN(T)ICED here as well as CI(T)IED. I don't need to sacrifice to play B2 CE(B)ID here now that the game is near even.
>Barry_Keith: ABOPRTZ 5I Z.P +28 195
#note 3A ZAP
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEFINQT 3A QAT +32 216
>Barry_Keith: ABDEIRT B2 T..ID +24 219
#note B2 B(AB)IED looks best.
>Patrick_Beatrez: EFIINNS 6B .IN +10 226
#note Trying for a bingo with EGADS. A6 INNIE is also possible, but I like shutting it down and going all in for this bingo. Quackle has (D)IN as clearly best.
>Barry_Keith: ABEHORR 3I H.RER +24 243
>Patrick_Beatrez: EFINRSS L3 .FS +27 253
>Barry_Keith: ABEEOOV -ABEEOOV +0 243
#note Dumping a lot of tiles to go for the blank or an S. It's close between keeping an E or keeping nothing since the pool is 8V-12C-1B.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEINRRS O10 .ARN +8 261
#note Missing (Y)ARNER, but I think just fishing again is a good idea. Keeping EINRS again looks strong, such as C1 RA(TO) or even K11 A(I)R. I still like YARNER to not have to rely on a bingo to win since it puts me up by 40.
>Barry_Keith: ?AEKNTU 13G KEA +16 259
#note N12 AUK without holding an S is dangerous, I like this decision.
>Patrick_Beatrez: EIIMORS 2M OI +6 267
#note Missing 14J MOIRES, but I think my play is better. This leaves 6 in the bag, so if he bingos then I can bingo out.
>Barry_Keith: ?NOSTTU 14I TeNUTOS +73 332
#note 14I bUTTONS for 76 looks best to force me to have the S to bingo. A1 SU(Q) is interesting but not best.
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEHIMRS 15D MESHIER +100 367
#note Turns out if he had played BUTTONS I still would've had MESHIER with 5 overlaps (LABS/UH/TI/TE/OR) and won.
>Patrick_Beatrez: (ABEMOV) +26 393
