Ah, yes, the two best players in NA under 25 playing a casual blitz match. Can we please have more of this kind of thing? It's like... the best and most entertaining Scrabble there is. IRL blitz is an uncharted gold mine.
Chloe put up quite a showing even against a mack that was getting pulls that even best bot would've been jealous of. Always entertaining to see blitz battles with new people, I wonder if Annette Obrestad would be interested.
Yeah I definitely had some freakishly good draws that felt like top 1% pulls! Would be happy to take on Annette, if you're seeing this Annette feel free to hit me up if you're interested :)
It'll definitely happen again soon! I'm not sure how much of a lesson Chloe has to learn though haha, she just needs me to not keep bingoing on my opening plays and from racks like BLP 😂
You can, but the thing is there are two issues with trying to "premove": 1) If Chloe plays out, I need to pass or challenge to end the game, and by the time I hit Enter and fail and then react and pass or challenge, I probably have used more than 0.7 seconds; 2) If Chloe plays a non-outplay phony like ID/SNUFFEDD* for 57 and I insta-play TAUS, it's not enough, so it allows her to win by phonying. There's obviously no perfect solution, but I still think waiting and trying to quickly challenge and then play out or just play out (as appropriate) is my best shot. Obviously ideally I'd have just left myself more than 0,7 seconds!
@@mackmellerWhy does Woogles make you lose time after the opponent plays out anyways, in an irl tournament they would press the stop button on the clock as per the rules (at least in WESPA)

13:38 it's ALT-HORN and LANT-HORN. classic letter string moment
Also, lanthorn is just an obsolete spelling of lantern, it doesn't actually have anything to do with horns 🤯
I just love these blitz battles can't wait to show my friends this one 😊❤️
Nice zaidy spot!! with a blank too!!
Thanks!!
I'd love to see an episode against Will Anderson, both could make videos and both could go through their thinking and perspective of their plays
I'd be so down, we Will (pun intended) hopefully make it happen

Mack finally found ZAIDY!
Props to Chloe for being a strong fighter of a female Scrabble top player/grandmaster. She's truly amazing, and you are too!
Look forward to another duel between you and Chloe! Really great game and I believe Chloe will learn a lesson after this!

Funny. OVERGIRT was a bingo I missed yesterday, when I couldn’t find a spot for VERTIGO. Might actually remember it seeing it twice now.
Chloe Fatsis... wasn't she in a Will Anderson video on school scrabble with a phony bingo into a triple-triple WHEELING?
Yep
She is one of the most creatively aggressive players on the scene now.
She even phonied here! She's a Fatsis phoney!
Yes, and a Mack Meller video about the same thing! ruclips.net/video/9poQxP2veT8/видео.html
@@mackmeller Huh. Sometimes I forget you do history too...
1:08:34 Mack laid down (R)ATIFIES but not FAI(R)IEST? Was blocked later so it didn't matter that much
Turnover is a great strategy early, as turnover in general is good until about half of the good tiles have been played.
24:10 can't you write the word before it's your turn?
Pretty sure it deletes as soon as it becomes your turn, so there's no point

I saw tubby and then as a CSW player was thinking maybe bo isn't valid in NWL, as surely Mack wouldn't miss that!
