>Tom: DEIKLM 8D MILKED +32 32
>Alec: AEEEEUY -AEEEUY +0 0
>Tom: IINORST 9H ROTINIS +65 97
#note 9G IRONIST scores 73.
>Alec: EEFGGUV 10F VUGG +26 26
#note This has the best equity, but 8M GUV may be better just because it uses the hotspot on row 8. #tacticssmall
>Tom: AIN 8M AIN +13 110
>Alec: DDEEEFY J9 .YEE +36 62
#note TYE has better equity and gives me more flexibility to score with the F at 11K. #strategymedium
>Tom: AEEHINT D6 HE.ATINE +76 186
#note "How will I catch up this time?" I wondered aloud. Our previous game, Tom built a three-bingo lead, and I immediately caught up with a 3*3.
>Alec: DDEFNOW C3 ENDOW +40 102
>Tom: EORU E3 EURO +14 200
>Alec: ?DFLOPT K11 FLOP +30 132
#note Quackle prefers C11 LOFT or E11 FOLD, but they all set up an S I don't necessarily have on row 15; FLOP has best equity and doesn't block row 13, my best bingo lane if I don't draw an S.
>Tom: AEGIMNW C11 MAW +32 232
#note Actual rack. Tom played 15J MEWING before realizing FLOPE*.
>Alec: ?DLORST 15E DRyLOTS +81 213
#note I saw 15H OLDSTeR as I entered the rack into Quackle. M2 SwORDTAIL is awesome. #findingmedium
>Tom: CEGIN 12B C.. +5 237
>Alec: AFHLNOT B9 FLA.ON +37 250
>Tom: ?EGINSV 5E .EViSING +72 309
#note Just when I thought I had come back....
>Alec: BHOOPTU H1 TOPH. +39 289
#note Quackle prefers the equity play, A13 HOB; but TOPHi opens bingo lanes, which are what I need to win.
>Tom: AQUY 4J QUAY +51 360
>Alec: BEIIORU A4 OUREBI +32 321
>Tom: AITX 3L TAXI +36 396
>Alec: ADEIRTZ O1 AZ.DE +51 372
#note I was unable to find a win. Tom is usually able to outrun with something like 2M JAB or, if I fish for a bingo, to block. Quackle suggests that M2 DAY can win--if I draw the S I have 1D TRISTEZA or O1 SEIZA. This was scored as 57. #scoringmedium
>Tom: ABCEJRS 2M RE. +48 444
#note Best is 14I JAPERS, after which I play REZ. (-12)
>Alec: AEIRT 12H AT..IER +16 388
>Alec: (ABCJS) +32 420
#note Final score reported as 444-426. It's a shame that I miscounted would should have been a 420 game.
