Player 1
#player1 JJB John J. Bulten
#player2 RF Ryan Fischer
>JJB: CEENQRU 8D QUERN +48 48
#note 0:42 [24:18] JJB: Queen (CR) rates 1.1 higher, and queer (CN) .4.
>RF: DFHJOOR F6 JO. +26 26
#note 1:17 [23:43] JJB: Cleverly creating a race to the first S.
>JJB: CEEIKNT G7 I.K +16 64
#note 4:16 [20:02] JJB: Of course erk# is 7.0 better.
>RF: BDEFHOR E7 H.B +14 40
#note 2:16 [21:27] RF: Q static says B(U)FO# which is a no. JJB: .6, hardly worth it.
>JJB: ACEENTU D8 .AT +16 80
#note 1:52 [18:10] JJB: Kue 9g 10 gains 13.5 over the actual. Just because 16 is the highest on a blockbuster board doesn't make it the best; trading U was nominally better.
>RF: DEFLNOR C9 FELON +38 78
#note 0:29 [20:58]
>JJB: ACEENOU 12A CO.EE +20 100
#note 0:50 [17:20] JJB: Calls for eau d12 12 (4.2 diff); rack balance is not being kept in mind.
>RF: DEORRSS A11 S.ROD +24 102
#note 1:24 [19:34] RF: Didn't know DORSERS. -47.2.
>JJB: ADEINRU B12 .UD +17 117
#note 1:20 [16:00] JJB: Keeping the D (ou# 5) is worth 16.1 more (diff 4.1).
>RF: EGLMMRS 11E MM +20 122
#note 0:45 [18:49]
>JJB: AEINRXY 9G .EX +24 141
#note 1:05 [14:55] JJB: Missing jynx#/yirk# 32 was worth 6.2 and a timely block.
>RF: EGHLNRS F10 H. +15 137
#note 0:32 [18:17]
>JJB: AAINRWY 13E WAY +21 162
#note 2:09 [12:46] JJB: Nobody notices then or later that runaway 27 plays (4.3 better). RF notes later the rack holds (only) trainway.
>RF: EGILNRS 5F SLINGER +77 214
#note 1:15 [17:02] RF: Both noting the possibility of GUN(SLINGER). Also MUD(SLINGER), which I did not put together! Also didn't know GIRNELS#.
>JJB: AINORSU 10I IO +13 175
#note 2:26 [10:20] JJB: Clearly eau/runaway is the much better leave (by 10.3).
>RF: BCEFNTU 4K FUB +25 239
#note 0:25 [16:37] RF: H1 BUFT(I)E# 36. BUNCE# down low sims decently, too. Not exactly sure why this has such a bad valuation. JJB: 6.3 diff, even though as RF suspected CENT is the best leave.
>JJB: ADNRRSU H1 URAN.D +24 199
#note 2:24 [7:56] RF: Bogus. It set off a few warning bells, but not enough for me to think to hold. I could've sworn there was something with this pattern that's good, but I guess not. The real word is DURIAN. JJB: Not sure why uranide (an earlier rack!) got truncated. Cyanid? Slightly outranks urd 6j 21.
>RF: ACEINOT 12G ACONITE +79 318
#note 0:36 [16:01]
>JJB: ?DENRST 1H .NSoRTED +77 276
#note 1:18 [6:38] JJB: Sterned 14e 79 or rodents 13i 79 would up by 2. Unspotted hotspots.
>RF: EEILTTV 3C LEVIT.TE +76 394
#note 0:21 [15:40] RF: Rack management.
>JJB: AIIOWYZ 2H .AY +31 307
#note ~3:08 [~3:30] JJB: If keeping Is, play zoea d1 46 (7.0 better); if not, play iwi# 2m 27.
>RF: AEEGPRV 3L GAVE +28 422
#note 4:57 [10:43] RF: It took me a while to be satisfied with this, but it is best static, and with all the As left it does its job. I don't think I have to be too scared of plays on column O, and there's a good chance I get something good too. The 4-ply sim barely likes REGAVE down low for 2 more.
>JJB: AIILORW 4A WAIL +28 335
#note ~1:09 [2:21] JJB: Hanging on.
>RF: AEIIPRS L8 PARI.IES +64 486
#note 5:12 [5:31] RF: Sure took me long enough to see this. I kept thinking "PIRATISE*". At least I recognized that there was something there and stuck it out long enough to find it. But, finds like this in all cases should be immediate. So, it's a time leak.
>JJB: ?AGOOPZ O3 .PiZOA +57 392
#note 1:12 [1:09] RF: Did not foresee that, and I should have. One downside to play GAVE. Though PAV suffers from the same potential problems. Although I did have the last E, the blank was unseen. JJB: For all that, zoeae/zoeal/zoeas 14j 66 net 3 more.
>RF: IT 6J IT +15 501
#note 0:19 [5:12]
>RF: (GO) +6 507
#note JJB: By the Quackle static metric, RF can be happy with only 3 suboptimal plays, but JJB's leakage over many plays was almost equal and (with plays considered separately) indicates there was no way to catch up to the synergy on the other side. Points improvable based on tiles played: RF 0, JJB 5. Points improvable based on values: RF 54.1, JJB 62.7.
