#note Ya crazy Canadien kids that practically run NASPA might wanna stick around. This game is pretty interesting.
Drugs running through my veins: caffeine from Passenger Roasters Montecarlos Geisha Coffee- very tasty! https://www.passengercoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/montecarlos-gesha-2018-harvest?variant=21232878551120
Beats running through my brain: A Tribe Called Quest, Midnight Marauders- not their very best, but still a great album.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We can argue about placement here. I've come to think that F8 is probably a tiny bit better.
>Quackle: ADFRTXY 9G FAX +36 36
>Andrew_Friedman: FILLNSU 10H SINFUL +23 37
#note Take a while to come up with this move, which seems coutnerintuitive, but it is 2nd best behind E8 wilful, a word I didn't know. (-9.2). Next best is 10L if, which I should have looked at during the game.
>Quackle: DHRRTUY 11E RUTH +21 57
>Andrew_Friedman: EIILNUZ K10 .UZIL +34 71
#note It was hard to pull the trigger on this and I hope I'd have the cajones to do it during a tourney. This is (8.5) better than the second best K10 fiz. I was seriously considering G11 tiz for defensive reasons, but it likes the aforementioned plays better as well as 10B zine and K10 fuze, two plays i did not consider in game.

>Quackle: ADDEEIK 12I DI.E.ED +40 179
>Andrew_Friedman: ACEEIMN L1 CINEMA +32 263
#note As a dabbler in all things exotic and counterintuitive, I was immediately drawn to this play, which isn't bad, but there are better ones. Somehow, I didn't find the best, and most obvious, play 1J incage or 1J encage. Then there is a slightly better placement of cinema at L3, which i missed, then 1K image and 1L mage it likes better too. My play is well within the realm of reasonableness and is only (-5.5). Missed a lot of stuff here. Gotta slow down.

#note Yowzers!!! Better placement of placebo at 3B. Slow down. (-4.0).
>Quackle: AJNNORT F10 J.NTO +30 353
>Andrew_Friedman: AAINQSY O10 QA.I +14 351
#note This is a very interesting play, worthy of a lot of analysis, but I only spent a few minutes on it, slapping my play down after feeling that it must be right, but boy was I wrong. Lazy brain thought it gets rid of the Q, which isn't really necessary, or is it?, and blocks the triples in the O column- perfect! - let's do that! Brilliant analysis, dude. Failure to recognize that Quackle is probably going to go out in 2, which should have been enough to inform me that the turn should be 1L cagy. Q might even be considered a benefit here, as it scored around 25 in a few places, and I took 14 points for it- Jesus, and I thought staying away from the women would keep my brain sharp and my decision making processes in tune.
According to championship player, K2 qi is best, winning 15%, then A1 cagy winning 13%, then A4 qi winning 9%, then 12O days winning 7%, then my crappy play. Don't know if trust Quackles analysis here, but sure know it's better than mine.
