>BriAnna_McKissen: UUU -UUU +0 0
#note CoCo Seattle Scrabble tournament round 9
>Alec: EEEFNOU 8G FEU +12 12
#note Exchanging EEFOU is clearly best. EN is a much-better leave than EENO, and the tiles in FEU will not help a leave of EENO, while they may help BriAnna's rack, especially after a small exchange. #strategymedium
>BriAnna_McKissen: AHJ 9I HAJ +26 26
>Alec: DEEGNOO 7F GEODE +27 39
#note 7F NOODGE scores 1 more than GEODE, keeps a better leave, and does not set up a Z bomb. While I agree with Quackle that NOODGE is better than GEODE, I don't see how it's a 10-point mistake. #findinglarge

#note J9 AXION. #findinglarge
>BriAnna_McKissen: OU 6E OU +9 55
>Alec: DDIINNO L6 NODI +21 110
#note L6 NODI has the best equity, but Quackle prefers various plays that use 5E, probably the most dangerous scoring spot on the board. The best play is 5D IODIN, followed by 5D NODI and DINO. #strategysmall

>BriAnna_McKissen: AEMNT 4H MEANT +37 107
>Alec: ILLLORS M5 LORIS +31 247
#note Quackle prefers 3J LOIR#, followed by 3J ROIL. I don't understand Quackle's choices here. It may be better to keep the S for JUTES, but the play with the best equity, 8L DOLL, also keeps the S and Quackle prefers LORIS over it. #questionable
>BriAnna_McKissen: AABERST 13E ABATERS +73 180
#note N1 ABREAST scores 82.
>Alec: ?EILLRW 3C LoWLIER +81 328
#note Quackle's top 5 bingos are: 1) 3C sWILLER; 2) 3C WaLLIER#; 3) 14A WaLLIER; 4) D6 LoWLIER; 5) 3C LoWLIER. The difference between 1st and 5th is ~3 points of valuation. I chose LoWLIER because I wasn't quite certain of sWILLER and didn't know WaLLIER; I chose 3C because 14A allows 3x3's and other high scoring comebacks. I didn't see D6 LoWLIER but I see no reason to sacrifice two points. 3C sWILLER is harder to underlap than 3C LoWLIER or WaLLIER, but otherwise there is no clear strategic reason to choose one 3C bingo over another. #questionable

>BriAnna_McKissen: AENRRST 9A RANTERS +66 280
#note ERRANTS scores 83 at 15F and 82 at N2.
>Alec: ?EINQST B7 Qu.NTISE +86 488
#note A8 TRaNQ is best! It sacrifices 17 points but gives back much less than QuANTISE (note QuANTISER#) and saves the S for KABS with several high-scoring tiles remaining. #tacticsmedium
>BriAnna_McKissen: OPRT A12 PORT +38 318
#note 15A TROP scores 44.
>Alec: AAEGOVZ J4 ..Z. +34 522
#note Though ADZE is the highest-scoring play, Quackle doesn't consider it. The best play is 2I GOV#, setting up 1G ZEA# or 1H ZA; BriAnna's blocks score very few points, and I still have ADZE. #tacticslarge
>BriAnna_McKissen: FNW C2 F..WN +11 329
>Alec: AAEGMOV N5 OGAM +30 552
#note 15F EVO# is best, saving N4 GAMA, or 3L AGMA after BriAnna's best block, 8L DIVA. OGAM would be only two points worse if H10 CLITIC were not available. (-11) #endgamelarge
>BriAnna_McKissen: CCGILUV A1 VUG. +33 362
#note H10 CLITIC blocks my best out. (-9)
