At this point the opponent waved the white flag with 'wavy'. [26:14] Well played, David. Almost a crushing victory against a strong opponent, until they bingoed and ended the game, leaving you stranded with a 12 point win in the end.
Was coequate the best play? It gave your opponent a massive score that reduced your lead to 12. Wouldn’t an alternative play have preserved your huge lead?
u could make the case 4 CHORINE but the score gap would still be >10... sizable. unseen pool seems tame enough _unless_ u can see COHIBITS ofc - this word is low prob anyways

He was in a bit of a Rush to make that play 😂
Imagine if YYZ was a playable word
Amazing how your brain works.
How did you do in the Times Crossword comp on Saturday?
Made it into the semifinals, but then made one error and finished 45th
Amazing how one error does for you….3rd last year was still amazing
@@dweebovision still a great effort - well done!
I would have screamed bloody murder if you didn't hold out for coequates!!! lol
you did have two outs if opponent missed their out bingo. CHORINE was playable in column 1
blank bingoes r def hard - let alone DOUBLE blanks... didnt stop me from praying 4 any of FROSTING/FRISTING/SNIFTER tho 😅🙏

In hindsight, yes.
There was a 1/4 chance of it happening when BHIIOOST was in the bag, but it's difficult to spot that in advance.

Shame about Lingo, David! I think they made your ones harder 😅
Frosting instead of strafing would have doubled up the F instead of the S on your bingo.
You had xeno down from the x
@@andrewgrant6516 XENO* is a phoney and therefore not allowable. Where did you hear that it's good from?
looks good... when its not
@@ab12c3d4 I love people who don't even check words, before trying to tell a grandmaster what they could have played 😊
@@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool true ofc 😌
