>Jason_Hazzard: AIV H6 VIA +12 12
>Arie: AILLOTW 9F OWL +17 17
#note I probably should prefer OWL I7 - it creates fewer openings.
>Jason_Hazzard: BIOT E8 OBIT +21 33
>Arie: AADEILT 6H .ALIDATE +66 83
#note This looks best.
>Jason_Hazzard: INQ 5K QIN +51 84
>Arie: DEHINOU 7M HOE +24 107
#note It's worthwhile to take out the threat of column O, and this play sims better than most of the plays that leave it alone. However, UNHOOD 8A scores 36 and is definitely worth playing.
>Jason_Hazzard: EN 8N EN +18 102
>Arie: DINNTUU D10 DUN +13 120
#note TUNDUN# D3 wins the sim.
>Jason_Hazzard: ESZ D6 SEZ +43 145
>Arie: CEEINTU 13B CUE +15 135
#note CUTIE C3 is a smidgen better - sacrifices in leave but scores 6 more.
>Jason_Hazzard: AMT 8A MAT.. +48 193
>Arie: ?EEIINT B2 INErTI.E +68 203
#note Should probably play sIENITE 10H instead - scores 1 less but doesn't create paralleling options on the triple.
>Jason_Hazzard: FJLORTW A1 BOOP +44 237
>Jason_Hazzard: FJLORTW -- -44 193
>Arie: EFGJRRT 4A J.FE +44 247
#note Could also consider JERRID L1 (downside of putting the J out in the open) and JEER 4A (scores less, but leave isn't as weak).
>Jason_Hazzard: BOO 3B .OOB +24 217
>Arie: AGGRRTT F8 T.GA +38 285
#note TOG instead is a clear improvement. It's hard to play the eleventh game of the day well.
>Jason_Hazzard: AUU J6 .UAU +4 221
>Arie: EGORRRT K9 GRR +11 296
#note This actually looks best, surprisingly.
>Jason_Hazzard: DEFMOOX 12H PERLS +25 246
>Jason_Hazzard: DEFMOOX -- -25 221
>Arie: ADEOORT 5A O.T +17 313
#note ODORATE# 2E is available here. I am definitely familiar with that word from my studies of Collins only high-probability sevens and eights, but obviously I don't know it particularly well, because I didn't see it. I eschewed the OO fishes like DOCO# and COO because I didn't like what they did to the board, and my play does appear to be second best.
>Jason_Hazzard: EGLN 12J GLEN +15 236
>Arie: ADEIOOR A1 OO +8 321
#note This or MOOI A8 or DOONA M9. All look pretty comparable. This bingos more.
>Jason_Hazzard: X 7G X. +17 253
>Arie: ADEEIRY M9 YEA.ED +28 349
#note I give up on the bingo here. I'm getting low on time and Jason is about to go over. I just want to score enough to put this game out of reach for him if he does bingo. I should probably keep trying, though - AYE 13L keeps a far stronger leave for a sacrifice of only four points.
>Jason_Hazzard: RS L4 R..S +17 270
>Arie: ADEIIKR 14J KID.IE +44 393
#note Just scoring enough to get myself out of one-bingo catchup range.
>Jason_Hazzard: AIMPPRV O12 PR.P +33 303
>Arie: AFIRSWY N10 FY +34 427
#note AWFY 15G is clearly way better - proof that I am not fluent in Collins. I know full well that AWFY and KY are good but in a real-time situation I'm probably not going to see them.
>Jason_Hazzard: ?ACLNRS 15H CLAN +26 329
#note Jason went 6 minutes over looking for his bingos.
>Arie: AIMRSVW 3I MAVIS +32 459
#note Embarassing scoring error -added 12 to my score instead of 32, hence the final score was recorded as 455-293.
>Jason_Hazzard: ?HRS 14A SH +24 353
>Arie: RW J2 W.R +14 473
>Arie: (R?) +2 475
