>Josh: DELNORT -N +0 0
#note Exchanging L bingos with 31 letters, and exchanging N bingos with 32. I did not take the time to do an exhaustive search, but my intuition was correct to assume it was close. But exchanging L bingos through a lot more tiles Jackson would play, so it would seem the better option, ever so slightly. OLD with the O on the star is probably the play here.
>Jackson: AELN - +0 0
>Josh: DELNORT -LD +0 0
#note this time he is very likely to exchange back, so I go for the exchange 2 in anticipation of that, because for some reason it felt like I hit more 7s...
>Jackson: AEILN - +0 0
>Josh: EGGNORT -GG +0 0
#note lol gg

#note blocking (O)VERRUNS. Smartly deciding here not to play CURVER*
>Jackson: FOPR 12B PROF +29 211

>Jackson: ?ENOOTZ N9 OZONaTE +122 333
>Josh: AAADEHN O13 AAH +36 444
#note I could also take the points with AHED, which I also considered. But this leave is really good and I wanted another one!
>Jackson: UX 1H XU +56 389
>Josh: ADEGMRT B10 GA.ED +26 470
#note playing the T off was very tempting here, as I am in prime shape and can basically outrun most everything except a bingo and a Q play, so 6N T(I) sims quite well, but this was the best of both worlds. Lots of vowels left so keeping MRT is really nice, scoring and opening a scoring spot to outrun things as well.
>Jackson: DEILNOT J4 I.DOLENT +65 454
>Josh: AHIMRTW N6 HI +28 498
#note I realized I could get Q-stuck sometimes if he plays G5 (T)O or (T)OE, but I outrun that with MAW 13A and I draw an I sometimes. But I mistracked and thought there were 3 I's left and no G...
>Jackson: AEEGIOS 14A O.E +4 458
#note He can't win even if he Q-sticks or draws a huge Q play given that I don't have the Q. So he has to hope I drew it and he draws the best possible two tiles here. Still nothing seems to win with perfect play. Sim prefers K10 OE
>Josh: AEMQRTW E10 R.. +6 504
#note I thought this was cute, but I also thought I had a lot of turns to play my Q off. Jackson has a G, not an I and an A, not an E!
>Jackson: AEGIISU K9 SUE +16 474
>Josh: AEMQTW A13 M.W +28 532
#note -11
>Jackson: AGII G10 A.IGI +10 484
#note -1, 7A (V)IGIA.
>Jackson: (AEQT) +26 510
#note perfect endgame play on both ends would have made the scores 554-497
