>Ross_Brown: AEENOTU H6 EAU +6 6
>Carl_Johnson: BEEIOOX 9G OXO +23 23
>Ross_Brown: ENOPTTW G5 WOP +20 26
>Carl_Johnson: ABEEIMQ 10F QI +33 56
>Ross_Brown: EIINRTT 10I NITRITE +63 89
>Carl_Johnson: AABEEMR O8 AM.BAE +33 89
#note ABEAM is a little better (-1)
>Ross_Brown: AGHIOTU F5 OH +32 121
>Carl_Johnson: CENRTUV M9 V.RTU +24 113
>Ross_Brown: AFGIOTU E2 GOUT +22 143
#note 4A FUGATO (–13 valuation)
>Carl_Johnson: CEHIINT 14G ICHNITE +73 186
>Ross_Brown: ?AFINRW 3C FR.W +20 163
#note D1 FAWN (–lots)
>Carl_Johnson: DEEGJMP G13 J.G +19 205
>Ross_Brown: ?AAAEIN 13I AA +11 174
#note Too concentrated on the bottom TWS to look for the bingo spot.
>Carl_Johnson: DEEMNPR 7G ..MPERED +19 224
#note The way I saw it, I needed to get at those blanks in order to win. I also liked that this made the board less bingo-friendly. However, I failed to spot DEPERM I2, which similarly closes the board and scores more. (-10)
>Ross_Brown: ?AEINOZ 2D A.ONIZEd +80 254
>Carl_Johnson: DDEENSY 1A EDDY +49 273
>Ross_Brown: ACEEGNO 1K AGONE +25 279
#note Quackle prefers 1K OCEAN, but I'm mindful there is a K out there that Carl may have held back, hoping to play it at H1.
>Carl_Johnson: DEEIINS 1F DIS +27 300
#note This sims a lot higher than you might think. S's are cheap, but vowels are not. There are simply too many ways Ross can hit H1 to unclutter his probably consonant-heavy rack. NISEI 14K and SEEDING 15A both sim higher, but I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be better long-term. (-5?)
>Ross_Brown: ?CELLOT 12J COL. +17 296
>Carl_Johnson: EEIKLNR C3 .ERNLIKE +71 371
>Ross_Brown: ?AEILNT A1 .NTAILEd +74 370
#note There are more points to be had on Column D, but this seems more sterilizing, and those bingos on Column D don't do anything to reduce the prospect of a big F play.
>Carl_Johnson: ABFSSSV B10 FABS +30 401
#note Best. My rack is an embarassment of riches: none of my plays scores enough or stops him from playing out.
>Ross_Brown: LRUY 12B .URLY +20 390
#note And this is what you call a fortuitous final rack.
>Ross_Brown: (SSV) +12 402
