#player1 Mack Mack
#player2 Sal Sal
>Mack: ?FPPRWY H6 FRY +18 18
#note Quackle says I should exchange. I felt this limited Sal's options enough to be worth it, but I guess PPW is just too awkward.
>Sal: ACCO I3 COCA +16 16
>Mack: ?OPPSTW J6 STOWP +26 44
#note Didn't want to leave J6 open, hence this over WOOPS
>Sal: GHRU 4H R.UGH +20 36
>Mack: ?AEGIPR K8 REAPInG +79 123
>Sal: ADIN 8J ..DAIN +27 63
>Mack: BELNOUU 14I UN.LUE +18 141
#note I took a very long time here debating between this and 3L ULU, and decided this was better enough in terms of equity to justify the huge openings. Also, it leaves open both column O and row 15, so if Sal uses one I might be able to hit the other.
>Sal: DEIV O12 VIDE +45 108
>Mack: ABEEOOO 7L OBOE +23 164
>Sal: ABELM 15F BLAME +33 141
>Mack: AAELNOQ M12 AQ.A +26 190
>Sal: AKU K2 KA.U +18 159
>Mack: EILNNOX 13G NIL +11 201
#note A strange play that doesn't appear on static's choices but immediately jumps to the top of the sim. It's surprisingly hard for Sal to play above effectively, so my X spot is likely to stay open.
>Sal: IJO 2K .OJI +30 189
>Mack: AEFNOWX 12F WAX +40 241
#note This gives back REWAX and DEWAX, but I wanted to keep OF for 3M.
>Sal: TTY 10J ..TTY +18 207
>Mack: DEEFNOT 3M OFT +35 276
#note Would rather play off the T to try for the ? and Ss, keeping a bingo-friendly leave isn't that important here
>Sal: LR 12J L.R. +8 215
>Mack: ADEEINO 12D DE... +32 308
>Sal: EGM 11C GEM +23 238
>Mack: AEINOOS O1 OS.IA +34 342
>Sal: ?EEINRS 8A SERENIt. +83 321
>Mack: EENOSTV B6 VE. +14 356
#note Lots of things that I need to block on row A (NITRIDES, INHERITS, ZITHERNS, DISHERIT). With a great leave of EONTS, my 35-point lead should be enough in the endgame regardless of Sal's rack. No bingos play after VEE.
>Sal: EHINRTZ E2 ZITHER. +38 359
#note Sal actually has a win here: 10D REZ, keeping D4 THINE and G1 HINT. Very hard to see though, especially considering he had less than a minute left at this point.
>Mack: DEINOST 9C EDS +31 387
#note DITZES. -9
>Sal: N E11 ..N +5 364
>Sal: (IONT) +8 372
