Bright Idahosa (NGA) has his first go at Nigel Richards (NZL). Early on, he forgoes PRIORIES to play IO but avoid putting the S out in the triple lane; I ask him about it after the game, and he said he thought he had to beat Nigel on strategy, not word knowledge. Bright got a few good plays down - DRAINERS (74) and later QUEYNS (57); Nigel bingoed only three times, with HOELIKE, INVADERS and NEURULAS.
