>Alec: ILMNPPW 8G WIMP +22 22
>Noah: AHJNORU J6 JU.ON +32 32
>Alec: EILNOPZ K2 PIEZO +41 63
>Noah: AEHNORU L4 HAE +43 75
>Alec: AELLNTY 3H LEN.TY +27 90
#note LAITY has the best equity and doesn't make a scoring spot at H1. #findingsmall
>Noah: EGNORTU H1 TO.U +15 90
>Alec: ADILOOV 7B OVOIDAL +74 164
>Noah: ?CEGNNR D2 CRaNN.GE +74 164
#note I have lots of similar scoring bingos available.
>Alec: AEEEGKX 8A EX +36 200
#note Quackle prefers KEX, blocking JUPONS with four S's unseen. I chose EX because I wanted scoring potential with the K, though it is not all that helpful on this board. #tacticssmall
>Noah: EEFINNY C9 FENNY +39 203
>Alec: AEEGIKQ K9 KEG +24 224
>Noah: BEEEIIS 12A BI.E +18 221
>Alec: AAAEIQS F4 QAI. +16 240
#note 2B AECIA is best, unloading vowels and occasionally drawing into 1A QAT with four T's unseen. I seem to never find AECIA, especially when I am distracted by the Q on my rack. #findingsmall
>Noah: EEIORST J1 EO. +11 232
>Alec: AAAERSV E10 VARA +21 261
#note Quackle prefers 2M AVA, keeping the R. I don't like opening 3x3 spots so cheaply, so I would play the second-place 3B VARA. #strategysmall
>Noah: EIRSSTU 14E SUITERS +69 301
#note Dunno if the other placement could be right, felt wrong to me.
>Alec: ACDEEHS A12 .ACH +33 294
>Noah: ADDFITT 15G DIF +35 336
>Alec: DEELOSW M6 SLOWED +26 320
#note Quackle hates this play, and I agree that it is unsound. My idea was to generate turnover for the blank while setting up a marginal lane on column N that is difficult for Noah to close (without opening another lane or sacrificing points) or to hit, because I have the last E. I considered 12H DOWSE, but Noah usually has one or more of DRRRS and can close the board easily by playing on column M. I did not consider any fishing plays. L8 WE is best by far, setting up OKES on column M and tempting a play at 8L that opens lanes for 8s. #strategylarge
>Noah: ADIMRTT 2B DI.TA +20 356
#note Not sure what the play is here. After the game I noticed ATT L11 or 13K, to make it very hard for Alec to bingo next turn.
>Alec: ?AERRST N8 RETARdS +80 400
#note RETARdS allows O2 BAILOUT or OUTBRAG; 13I RoASTER allows only O6 MIGRATOR. #tacticssmall
>Noah: AGMORTU O4 MAGOT +42 398
>Alec: BIL 1A LIB +22 422
>Alec: (RU) +4 426
