>cesar: ?AKNORT 7H OuTRANK +63 93
#note i saw outrank pretty quickly, but missed outdrank. either way i was trying to figure out if it was worth passing the bingo up. F10 TAROK actually sims better than my bingo, but OUTDRANK sims best. -2.5 #findingsmall
>sam_kaplan: FOU F10 FOU +30 60
>cesar: AADIOOZ 6L ZOO +35 128
#note haha, i adore D8 (F)A. i don't know how often that works, but i have ZOOID for 79 a lot of the time after that, and ZOOIDAL for 123 sometimes! LOL. clever quackle. always look for setups i guess. -10 #visionlarge ... my move isn't that bad, it's just that FA/AX is so awesome.
>sam_kaplan: AENP 8L PEAN +54 114
>cesar: AADIINT O3 TAIN +18 146
#note it's upsetting that INTIFADA just barely does not fit. what a tough tournament. i'm 1-5 at this point and can't figure out how to play. i should just play FAD. i might play FAD if this was a regular game and i wasn't terrified of losing, but keeping two i's get scarier and scarier the more i lose :/ i didn't even think of the S hook on TAIN until later in the game. it's so hard to play well. i could do D11 AID if i don't want to double my i's, or even 7C AIM. -5 #strategymedium
>sam_kaplan: ADY D10 DAY +25 139
>cesar: AADGIIT 4K TAIG. +12 158
#note probably just 3K DIGIT, AAT isn't that bad.. or J6 ATIGI. -3 #findingsmall
>sam_kaplan: JU N2 JU. +24 163
>cesar: ABDEIIL 13E ALIBIED +69 227
#note which ALIBIED is better? at 3F? it opened a lot more hotspots, maybe that's good so i can have one and he has one, thus reducing volatility.
>sam_kaplan: EHIRS 14J HEIRS +48 211
>cesar: BCOORSW 6F BOW +20 247
#note an unaggressive, lame move. BOW at H13 is probably better. but BROWS/CROWS at 14B for 39 pts is best. i didn't even bother counting the score. i think if i had counted it i would have realized that's the play i want to make. it's really really hard to focus when you're 1-5. i was probably on autopilot trying to keep the RS combo etc. instead of thinking about the game situation. -8.5 #strategylarge
>sam_kaplan: GHO 12J HOG +27 238
>cesar: CEEEORS 15E CEROES +34 281
#note wow. CEROES* is phony. CERO is a fish, not the number ZERO. never knew that. REBEC is still the best play, but i can't find plays like that when i'm 1-5 no matter how positive i am. -1 #knowledgelarge #tacticssmall
>sam_kaplan: DETUV 3H DUVET +14 252
>cesar: ELNNQRR -LNNQR +0 281
#note -0.5 for some reason it wants me to keep an N instead of ER. what?? i think it's because ER bingos won't fit on this board?
>sam_kaplan: AMNW 11K MAWN +35 287
>cesar: EEGLLOR 14A OGLER +17 298
#note time to go crazy. quackle likes this move, as it usually does, but this time i think it's right.
>sam_kaplan: IP 15A PI +27 314
>cesar: EEILLSS 9I LIES +20 318
#note H1 ELDS is probably best? i gotta be aggressive with the S unseen and not worry about the blank too much
>sam_kaplan: CR A12 CR.. +11 325
>cesar: EIILNSY 4C LYSINE +24 342
#note this is the winningest move, but quackle says it only wins 50% of the time. This is a mistake (i want to fix the pre-endgame player). it only loses to a Q draw if he finds the absurd iNTER(CROP).
