#player2 Alec Alec
>Michael_E: AAJNW 8D JAWAN +46 46
>Alec: BFHINRT 7G FIRTH +27 27
#note 7G FIB is better. I wanted to unload more consonants, but HNRT is synergistic, and FIB doesn't open the 8K-8O hotspot. #strategysmall
>Michael_E: EEIMP K4 IMP.EE +26 72
>Alec: BEEGNOU 9E GOB +28 55
#note I don't think I saw 4G BOUGIE, but J4 BOUT is also significantly better than GOB. #findingmedium
>Michael_E: OXY J9 OXY +31 103
>Alec: EEKNOOU 10E OK +40 95
#note I liked that OK set up -NE- plays at 11E. But NOOK is still much better. #strategymedium
>Michael_E: LUU J3 ULU +9 112
>Alec: EENOTUV 11E NEVE +35 130
>Michael_E: ADERT I9 DA +20 132
#note Michael put down H10 REDATE before switching to this. 12B DATER scores 30.
>Alec: ABLOTTU H10 L.TOUT +31 161
>Michael_E: DEIRTY L1 YIRD +32 164
>Alec: AABCIRZ 1H CRAZ. +57 218
>Michael_E: DEMNT 8K .MEND +33 197
>Alec: AABIIOT K11 OBIA +22 240
>Michael_E: ILSTT 15K STILT +25 222
>Alec: AEEIITU O7 A.IEU +6 246
#note I missed O6 AUDITEE, which scores three more points and gives me two more chances at the two blanks unseen. N6 AUNTIE is also slightly better than ADIEU despite getting rid of my only consonant, the case T, and setting up the O1-O6 hotspot. #findingmedium
>Michael_E: EGN 12D GEN +26 248
>Alec: ?AEEILT 15B ETIoLA.E +58 304
#note There is a nine starting at 5C (answer on next turn). I did not know the word. Every other bingo plays at 15B. Of these, ETIoLATE, LATErITE, and LITErATE score 58 but have front hooks (I thought of PETIoLATE afterward), and LEvITATE scores 57 without a front hook. Thus LEvITATE is second best, after the nine. #knowledgelarge
>Michael_E: GOOS 13B GOOS +20 268
#note ELATErIUM
>Alec: ACHIQVW 14A VAW +32 336
#note WOW Quackle hates this, despite that VAW has the highest score and best equity. 14A QI is best by far. The next best Q spot scores 11 points, and QI saves N8 NAW for next turn. #tacticsmedium
>Michael_E: P H6 P.. +5 273
#note At least VAW blocked P(ETIoLATE). Oh wait, QI does that too.
>Alec: CDHINQR H1 .INQ +25 361
#note Here I tunneled on the S(PIN) spot Michael just set up. But the M column lane is also easy to hit with the blank. I should just play...what, M7 HERDIC?? Quackle, are you crazy? That allows me to be Q-stuck with IFS/HERDICS or something! Also, Quackle actually prefers H1 CINQ to 13J CINQ, which I thought would be best.
>Michael_E: EF L12 EF +23 296
>Alec: CDHIORR N8 .OH +29 390
#note What a horrific play. I mean, 13G HORRIFIC is available for 42. #visionlarge (-23.25)
>Michael_E: AEENRSS M10 SANS +31 327
#note M10 SENSEI is best, and SANSEI is not far behind. (-19)
>Alec: ?CDIRR M5 CIR. +7 397
#note The best endgame is 6K PeRC, 2L IRE (to block IRID), O1 ID, 3L RE. #endgamesmall
>Michael_E: EER 5M .EE +5 332
#note 14H UREA is best, blocking PURDA. (-10)
>Alec: ?DR N3 Ru.D +15 412
>Alec: (R) +2 414
