#player1 Matt Matt Graham
#player2 Alec Alec Sjoholm
>Matt: EHIOOPT 8C OPHITE +28 28
>Alec: EFHLRTU F6 FR.TH +27 27
#note Quackle hates this and likes 7C HUE; FLRT is a bad leave, but ELU is worse, and HUE scores one more point. There are also many plays better than FRITH that sacrifice points but keep better leaves, such as 9B UH and 7B FLU. #strategymedium
>Matt: DKOOUVZ E3 OUZO +31 59
>Alec: DEFLNSU H6 NE.DFULS +63 90
#note Bingo... Quackle prefers H7 NEEDFULS, but I still think it's a tossup.
>Matt: DIKMRTV 3A MIKV.T +30 89
>Alec: ABCEIOT 13A ICEBOAT. +76 166
#note bango*...
>Matt: ADLRSWX A12 W.LD +36 125
>Alec: ?EINNRU I1 fUNNIER +63 229
#note bongo! Although I should play A3 MURINE instead to block column A and keep the blank for a later bingo. #tacticssmall
>Matt: AEINRSX 14F XI +52 177
>Alec: ?DEGIUW J6 WED +32 261
#note Again, I should block column A, this time with A1 GUM. #tacticssmall
>Matt: AENQRSS 2H S.Q +32 209
>Alec: ?ACGIPU A1 CA.PI +42 303
#note Quackle very slightly prefers GIMP, which has better equity and saves a tile that can play at 15G. #strategysmall
>Matt: AENOORS A1 .....ONS +42 251
>Alec: ?AEGNTU 15G TUNnAGE +80 383
>Matt: AAAEMOR 9C MOA.E. +32 283
>Alec: ABEITVY 8J .ATIVE +33 416
#note 12C BAY has the best equity, doesn't give Matt any floaters, and often draws into DATIVE next turn anyway. I'm not sure whether I even looked for anything after I found DATIVE. #visionlarge
>Matt: AAEELRR B10 ARE.A +27 310
>Alec: BIOOSYY B6 YO +28 444
#note I saw D11 YOBBY after I hit my clock. Honorable mention to 6H NEWSBOY, which mostly blocks the lanes I formed with DATIVE. #visionmedium
>Matt: AEGILRR 4H G.ARLIER +74 384
>Alec: ABEIOSY N6 BE.Y +18 462
#note I did what I thought was essential--block M7 JINGLED/JINGLER while guaranteeing an out--although I didn't see my backup out, C1 ASKOI. But there is so much more scoring potential! 14M YE sets up O11 OBIAS for 36, with a backup of A1 COBIAS, and Matt cannot both block OBIAS and use the J. M11 AIYEE blocks all of Matt's 30+ point J plays while saving K2 SORB for 25. Both YE and AIYEE are 19 points better than this. #endgamelarge (-19)
>Matt: DEGJLNR 11G J.NGLED +32 416
>Alec: AIOS O3 A.IOS. +12 474
>Alec: (R) +2 476
