>Matt: IIIIIII -IIIII +0 0
>Arie: AAADENX 8H ADNEXA +44 44
#note Best.
>Matt: EEINS L7 E.INES +26 26
>Arie: AAEMNUV 9F UVEA +18 62
#note There are some other options. MAUVE K11 scores 12 more but creates a dangerous opening - I don't like it much, but it wins the sim. I can also play UVEA at 11J, sacrificing 4 points to retain an E - not sure that it's worth it. My play sims 2nd best and is still my top pick.
>Matt: ILOO N7 OLIO +21 47
>Arie: ALMNNTU K11 MUN +20 82
#note UNMET K5 wins the sim very slightly and I can see why - scores the same, doesn't create any hooks that I don't have, and leaves ALN instead of ALNT, which seems like a marginal improvemnt.
>Matt: EHY 10D YEH +30 77
>Arie: AAILNTY O1 ANALITY +88 170
#note This is best.
>Matt: AQSUW 11A SQUAW +49 126
>Arie: GIIRRRS A8 RIG. +15 185
#note This doesn't do well in the static eval. obviously, but it rises to the top of the sim. It's the only way to play to the S.
>Matt: ?AENOST 12C TrEASON +82 208
>Arie: ?EGIRRS 6F GRIStER +75 260
#note GoRSIER in the same spot is available for two extra points. I did correctly recognize that a REXINES play would be more defensive than a MUNG/MUNI play. Not sure how I missed GoRSIER.
>Matt: BDEIP 14J BIPED +38 246
>Arie: EFIORTT 15F FORTE +28 288
#note FIT 13M wins the sim by one point. I think that the sim may be overvaluing the EORT leave a bit, though. This eliminates a potentially dangerous line and scores 3 more points. I'm fine with this but I think FIT is fine too.
>Matt: LOPTU 2J PLUTO. +28 274
>Arie: EEIOTWZ 14B ZOWIE +45 333
#note Best.
>Matt: BCK L1 B.CK +30 304
>Arie: AEFHJOT 15M HAJ +47 380
#note Best - it also nicely sets up the F at 13M, which I recognized when I played it.
>Matt: AEGINOV H11 V.G +7 311
>Arie: EFILORT 13M FOR +34 414
#note This is clearly best. Interesting but wrong: (TrEASON)O(US) for 9 points to fish for FERTILE or FLIRTED.
>Matt: MO 15C MO +15 326
>Arie: ACDEILT 15A CA.. +35 449
#note This endgame is actually suboptimal - I should play something that blocks TRINED B4 and threaten to go out myself. DELI 7C wins the sim.
>Matt: DEINRT 7A TIRE +11 337
>Arie: DEILT 3F TILDE +13 462
>Arie: (DN) +6 468
