>Carl: AFHNORU N1 OAF +27 165
#note This play doesn't sim nearly as badly as it did in the official annotation. However, FINO I7, setting up the H, or HUN G9, setting up the F, are definitely better for my scoring chances next turn. (-3)
>Kenji: CDDEIST I7 D.D +19 133
>Carl: DHNORTU 14B DROUTH. +32 197
#note I saw THROB but didn't like what it did to the board long-term. DROUTHY also opens lanes, but they figure to get closed down soon. DROUTHY wins a 4-ply sim.
>Kenji: CEIOSTW 15A WO +18 151
>Carl: ?AFLNTU E8 vAUNTF.L +70 267
#note I'm ok sacrificing 10 points here; vAUNTFUL is way more defensive than FLAUNTER. There's also a small chance that Kenji might challenge VAUNTFUL out of desperation, whereas he would never challenge FLAUNTER. (-8.5?)
>Kenji: CEEISST N5 .ECTISES +66 217
>Kenji: CEEISST -- -66 151
>Carl: BEINRRU 12A BRUI.ER. +26 293
#note On a 4-ply sim with perfect knowledge of Kenji's rack, BRUITERS blows every other play out of the water. It kills or devalues bingo lanes on Rows 11-13, devalues bingos ending with R, and makes it less likely that such a bingo would get paralleled with another bingo. For instance, after FLAUNTER C7, there are lots of bingos that could play parallel. But after FLAUNTER C5, those lanes are dead, and taking out Row 4 becomes easier.

#note Straight up missing HM F9. So weak! (-15) #visionlarge

#note I was going for a Q-stick here. The problem with things like LURE D2 is that I'll sometimes get Q-stuck myself.
