#note exch. AIOOU best, mine 4th.
Marty and Quackle seem to agree, and I will take the lesson to heart. Be more careful about slotting E's for your opponents.
>Marty_Gabriel: ADDENTT L2 ATTEND.D +70 70
>Matthew_Ridout: ADLOOSV 5I VOL. +14 26
#note VOLTA 3I best, mine over 7 valuation points back in 10th

#note DANIO 6J best, mine 3 valuation pts back in 4th
>Marty_Gabriel: GITW 9E TWIG +13 128
>Matthew_Ridout: ADEHOOS 8A SADHE +41 91
#note OHO M1 best, mine 8th, 7 valuation pts back
I decided 20 pts was just too much to pass up on, despite the dreadful leave. Almost got a challenge out of it.

>Matthew_Ridout: ADOOOQR - +0 91
#note exchange 6
I had to have misrecorded something here, because my next rack only had the Q in common, and I sure didn't save that.

#note Pre-sim, DO 9L was best, and by quite a bit (3% more to win, 6 valuation pts vs. next best). My play wasn't on the board. I don't think Marty would disagree with CP's assessment. He was happy to see those nice letters go away. I played scared with ??S unseen, figuring incorrectly he was setting himself up.
SImming my play at 5 plies and 1000 iterations against, it finished outside the top ten - 6% worse to win, 8 valuation pts back.
>Marty_Gabriel: IUZ 1A .UIZ +32 272
>Matthew_Ridout: ABHIORR M9 ABHOR +26 222
#note Since I don't have the new words loaded into Quacklle, I had to run my play on sim (5p, 1000i again).
HARBOR 12I is 15% to win, mine 2nd at just 13%.
>Marty_Gabriel: EKNU L12 NEUK +32 304
#note I wish I knew the rest of Marty's rack here. In chatting after, he really regretted this move. Even if he's carrying one of the blanks, there are soooo many good tiles in the bag or my rack.
>Matthew_Ridout: ?EEIRSW J8 .EWRItES +78 300
#note Mine was the only playable bingo. CP indicates 9% better to win than any other play initially.
Marty offered after that plays along column N that saved the blank might be best, given my slotting the S hook will likely lead to a bad end for me.
After simming at 5p, 1000i, the bingo still sims best, but WEIR N12 (and others) sure closed the gap.
