#note Not wanting to hang an easy Z in the triple lane with GROSZ, though it's not that easy to hit in that position - it only increases opp avg. score by 3 points. I considered 5D DZOS# vs H3 DZO# for a while. Quackle seems to believe that Dan is likely to play at 4A, opening some new lanes for me and giving me a handful of triple-triples in the process. However, my play yields nothing back to Dan, whereas the 4A scoring plays after 5D DZOS# also reopen row 3. Close call. I'd say the more dangerous the opponent, the likelier I am to prefer my play.
>Dan: AW I4 AW +22 102
>Will: ?DGJNRR M9 J.RDs +40 215
#note Quackle prefers JIRD to JIRDs even though I score nearly exactly 20 more points on my next turn - the same number of points I gain by tacking on the blank this turn. It also prefers JIRGa# to JIRDs even though JIRDs bingos 24% to just 19% for JIRGa#. I'm sure keeping DNR is getting a boost because a simple E draw with a whopping 11 unseen E's gives me (ZA)NDER as a baseline score. Again, the better the opponent, the more I prefer JIRD. If Dan has an S, the best plays post-JIRD are very easy to find.
>Dan: APT J2 TAP +21 123

>Dan: EEMRT E10 METRE +32 214
>Will: BEEELRU 14B URB.. +28 383
#note 10D UMBLE# setting up my R is nice, but I still kind of prefer URBEX# (HUMBLE and TUMBLE are still out there too, no need to make an easy line).
