Phil Kretschman:7g OCA +22
Scott Appel: 115 BELNRTT Phil Kretschman: 158 EEIRT
Often frustrating, the ETAERIO# rack here yields a number of viable plays. The chosen move is ok, but with 7 I's to come, 12d IOTAS +20 may be a shade better. This play also complicates the 10f hotspot. I also considered 10k ODEA, when most of Scott's bingos are forced into 1n, and with minimized O-file counterplay for his second turn.
