>Alec: EEFKLOT 8D KETOL +28 28
#note Quackle prefers 8G KEF, but is ELOT really worth 5 more than EF? (-1)
>New_Player_1: BOY 9G YOB +26 26
>Alec: DEEEEFO 7F EF +24 52
#note Quackle says to add the D. (-1)
>New_Player_1: EF 6E EF +27 53
#note lol
>Alec: DEEEOTT D3 TOED +17 69
>New_Player_1: PU C3 UP +16 69
>Alec: EEEIITT -EEIIT +0 69
>New_Player_1: AEIMNRS J3 MARINES +70 139
>Alec: EEEELTW K3 EWE +25 94
#note I have drawn nine E's in five turns--so many E's, in fact, that Quackle prefers E2 EEW, sacrificing 8 points to set up my E's. (-4)
>New_Player_1: ACHT L2 CHAT +41 180
>Alec: EEILOTW 10H WO +15 109
#note 8J ETOILE is best, and if I play at 10H, Quackle prefers WE to WO. (-6)
>New_Player_1: N 5D .N +8 188
>Alec: AEEILRT 11I ATELIER +69 178
#note If I had played WE, I wouldn't have drawn a bingo.
>New_Player_1: EINRSTU 12C UNITERS +72 260
>Alec: GGRRVXY N11 .GGY +18 196
#note I tunnel-visioned at the right side of the board, but VUGG and VUGGY at C11 are clearly better. If I draw an O after either play, I can play ORYX 15A! (-13)
>New_Player_1: DOU O8 DOU. +15 275
>Alec: ?EQRRVX E11 Q. +22 218
#note Tournament blank count: 1. I correctly determined that QI was better than various EX plays (11D, 13F, O14) because it got rid of my worst tile and left two of the EX plays available for next turn. However, I did not consider VEX or VEXER at G11 or K10. G11 VEX is best, followed by QI and the VEXERs. (-1)
>New_Player_1: AAJ H12 .AJA +33 308
>Alec: ?ERRSVX O14 EX +32 250
#note I missed the star play, XERUS C9. (-17)
>New_Player_1: CLOO N6 COOL +17 325
>Alec: ?IRRSUV B1 VIRUS +24 274
>New_Player_1: AGIINT A5 AGIN +17 342
#note Gary told me he was unsure about AGITI*. ATIGI is good.
>Alec: ?DELNRR C11 N.RL +8 282
#note Best is URN C12, which threatens oVERLAID 1A with the most likely draw. Why it is so much better than RUN C11, I do not understand. (-46)
>New_Player_1: ADI 1A A.ID +30 372
#note oVERLAID would have been blocked anyway...
>Alec: ?DEHMOR 15F RH.bDOME +66 348
#note ...and I drew neither A nor I. Championship Player's results seem meaningless at this point. At least I found the highest scoring bingo.
>New_Player_1: ABIINTZ F10 ZI. +43 415
#note The best endgame is 9C ZIN, 15A VISA, L9 BALTI. Gary saw that he missed ZITI (I think) immediately after he hit his clock, but the ZITI endgame has equal value to the ZIT endgame. (-12)
>Alec: ?AIPSV 15A VISA +29 377
#note Tournament blank count: 2. The best endgame is M13 APE, 9B BAIT, 15A VISa or VISe. (-3)
>New_Player_1: ABINT 9B BAIT +15 430
#note The best endgame is 14B BLAT, M13 aPE. (-5)
>Alec: ?P M13 aP. +20 397
>Alec: (N) +2 399
