>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: AHMT 8G MATH +18 18
>Jim_Burlant: ADEIIMO 9E DAIMIO +28 28
#note Best, as it clears the vowel overload while maximizing score.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: ADEGL 8A GLADE +30 48
>Jim_Burlant: DEEEFWY 10J WEEDY +45 73
#note Best. Next best play is EWE 10 for 34 (WEEDY scored 45), and that still saddles me with the F and Y.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: BEG 7C BEG +24 72
>Jim_Burlant: BEFFISV 11H VIFF +49 122
#note Every game should be so easy.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: EELST 12J STEEL +30 102
>Jim_Burlant: ?BEJRST K5 JETS +32 154
#note I struggled here - fish the J with JAM? Score with this? I hate breaking up ERST?, but without the ability to play off both the J and B, I couldn't find much else. The duck makes an odd suggestion, as it thinks I should burn the blank for 37 with JOB or JAB at 6B. Really?
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: AEHNS O11 ASHEN +34 136
>Jim_Burlant: ?ABGORT M3 BOGARTe. +74 228
#note The star play BOGARTs 6B for 83. That said, I liked this for its defense, (though TAGBOARD M3 would have been a bit better since it doesn't open up the X spot). 87% to win.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: AEIT H11 .ITAE +27 163
>Jim_Burlant: AANORRU 15C AUROR.AN +59 287
#note Tell-tale sign #567 that it's your game: you draw this rack and your opponent floats you an E. 97% to win.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: OOOPTVZ -OOO +0 163
>Jim_Burlant: NNOPRTU L4 NOT +24 311
#note Right idea, wrong execution. The idea here was to make sure he couldn't hit me with the cheap X bomb. This accomplishes that, thought NUT unloads the U. Not sure why I didn't see NUT. The duck likes PUR for the extra 8 scoreboard points. Nonetheless, the only real difference is equity. All but one play in the kibbitzer wins at least 99% in a sim.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: IZ 8M .IZ +36 199
>Jim_Burlant: DINOPRU A8 .ROUP +11 322
#note Just trying to eliminate bingoes. My lead is big enough that as long as he only hits for 55 and not 80, I don't have much to worry about. Q says 14J plays like UNRIPE or UNROPE are the ticket here. I'm still 98.6% to win.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: EX B8 .EX +53 252
>Jim_Burlant: CDINNOW 14D NOW +31 353
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: AKO 6A OKA +22 274
>Jim_Burlant: CDINQUV B2 QUIC. +40 393
#note Not thrilled about opening up the northwest with the blank unseen, but 40 points is 40 points and I don't have much choice. 99%.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: INP C1 NIP +29 303
>Jim_Burlant: CDLNRVY 14M DY. +14 407
#note With the bag down to 3, blank bingoes like nEROLIS or NUbILOSE in the pool and me sitting on all this crap, the one thing I cannot do is empty the bag. Better would have been these letters for 6 more at D5 with DYED. The duck wants me to play ENVY M12, which puts my lead up to 120 and withstands his bingo.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: I F9 .I +4 307
>Jim_Burlant: ?CELNRV 11C ViRL +15 422
#note Moving tiles to end the game. Best would be CoNVER(GED) for 30.
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: EILORSU A8 .....ERS +33 340
>Jim_Burlant: CEN H7 C.. +7 429
>Bruce_D'Ambrosio: ILOU D3 OIL +11 351
>Jim_Burlant: EN B13 NE +10 439
#note 14H ANE scores 11.
>Jim_Burlant: (U) +2 441
