>Rob_Robinsky: AAABENW C3 NAWAB +38 104
#note C3 NAWAB is the straight-up equity play, but while I am aware of Evans' predilection for making setup plays I did not give enough thought to the possibility that he had the Q. I suppose that's because I needed to think about it a step farther - he isn't likely to sacrifice QIS for HIOI unless he also has the U on his rack. Putting in the Q inference makes C9 BWANA a much better play, and I'm a little frustrated that I only got halfway through my assessment of his play of HIOI before stepping back and taking the obvious play. I'm lucky this didn't hurt me more.
>Evans_Clinchy: DIQU C9 QUID +45 52
>Rob_Robinsky: AABEFLO B4 FAB +38 142
#note No need to go overboard here, B5 OF leaving AABEL is actually quite strong on synergy and doesn't amplify the D4 hotspot.
>Evans_Clinchy: GINWX I7 W.XING +29 81
>Rob_Robinsky: AADELMO J1 ALAMODE. +72 214
>Evans_Clinchy: APVY 4H VA.PY +38 119
>Rob_Robinsky: EEEFIJU 12A JE.I +40 254
>Evans_Clinchy: CCEHOST 10F CHO.CEST +77 196
#note Quackle prefers 13C SOC leaving the dynamic CEHT over bingoing, which makes some sense even though I am exceedingly unlikely to leave row 1 open.
>Rob_Robinsky: AEEFIRU H1 FAU.E +33 287
>Evans_Clinchy: EOY A12 .OEY +42 238
>Rob_Robinsky: DEINRRR 12G RE.RIND +20 307
#note There is a not insignificant temptation to play aggressively to try to bingo again with something like 1J ARRIDE, since it's unlikely that Evans has drawn all of the goodies out of the bag. That said, Evans' bingo chances plummet from 23% to 10% after REGRIND compared to ARRIDE, while my own bingo chances are comparatively 16% versus 25%. I think the defensive value of REGRIND is really powerful here.
>Evans_Clinchy: EOV H12 .VOE +21 259
>Rob_Robinsky: ?ILNRRT B11 T.RN +16 323
#note Urghhh RITORNEL. Clearly I need some high-prob reviewal.
>Evans_Clinchy: AEGP D1 PEAG +36 295

#note Just go for points, since I can't block everything and column O isn't going to score all that much. K3 APRON.
