Game 1

>Stefan_Kac: EEOBLNN 9A ENNOBLE +72 86
>Evans_Clinchy: FKR A8 K.RF +33 53
>Stefan_Kac: AAEEIOZ 10G ZOEAE +31 117
#note Really just couldn't remember how to spell ZOAEA# and ZOAEAE#. Probably should have gone with the latter.
>Evans_Clinchy: JQVXY -JQVXY +0 53
>Stefan_Kac: AAAIUNR 11H URANIA +22 139
#note How does q not auto-generate this play?
As an underdog in this game, 8A (K)UIA is probably a better choice for me here. The two plays sim about the same.
>Evans_Clinchy: EI?MRTW M7 MIdW.TER +80 133
>Stefan_Kac: AAAEBCG 8K CE.BA +30 169
#note Only bad options here. Hard to fathom that this AAG leave is a full 5 points worse than AAEC. The fourth and fifth best choices, according to sim, are L3 ABACA and 8L A(I)GA. I kinda like those better than any of the top three.
>Evans_Clinchy: AIIDNRS H1 DRAISIN. +80 213
>Stefan_Kac: AAEDFGH 14I AFEA.D +36 205
#note DEF(R)AG scores 6 less and sims 3 better. Ymmv.
>Stefan_Kac: OGGHNQS (challenge) +5 210
>Evans_Clinchy: IDSV 15F VIDS +26 239

>Evans_Clinchy: ORTT 13I TORT. +19 258
>Stefan_Kac: AIOO?HS M2 OHS +30 274
#note Totally lost in this phase of the game as usual. 5H (S)OHO# is the play. Or basically anything that's not what I did.
>Evans_Clinchy: EIPSTTY 12B TYPIEST +80 338
>Stefan_Kac: AIO?CMV 1L COMA +40 314
>Evans_Clinchy: OUGR D3 ROUG. +18 356
>Stefan_Kac: AIU?JLV 2F JU.AL +30 344
#note Just JU(R)A achieves the same defense and can force a low-scoring block in column o. Instead I was lazy and didn't math it out and so opted to chase the X and/or hope to luck into an out play.
F11 J(E)U is also interesting to block OX plays and threaten a bingo in two spots. But ROUGH did imply a T setup, and opp was in fact sitting on DETOX.
>Evans_Clinchy: EIODLTX 11D OX +40 396
>Stefan_Kac: EII?LV 3B VI.Eo +22 366
#note O3 VIrEL(A)I.
Tough loss, but at least I got my first QIGONG.
