#note suddenly I realized that I lose to a few things from the J. JOYRIDER and JOYRIDES, JOINDERS also wins. I spent the rest of my time trying to figure out how to always win. But since it was early, I might have been better off just taking QUB(I)T, or just Q(I) 11E. This blocks some stuff and should outrun JOYRIDES and JOYRIDER. If he fishes and blocks Q(I) 11E I can block the J with (E)T... unfortunately this still loses to JOYRIDES and JOYRIDER if they are played immediately and Chris leaves the T I need for QAT E11 in the bag. This at least is way less likely than losing after QUB(I)T. I wonder if there's a win here. It's not Q(I), and it's not this.

#note Scrabble is a cruel, cruel game. DUB was the only winninger move than QUB(I)T. It only loses 17/1320, and ties 2/1320. QUB(I)T on the other hand will lose 5/330, or 20/1320. I improved my actual winning chances by less than 0,1% by playing DUB, and as a reward, my opponent was granted a 1/8 chance of winning, or if he couldn't find the win, a 1/8 chance of tying. Not only was he granted this, but the tile he needed, the I, was left in the bag. QUBIT would have won the game, and this play happened to be losing. So clearly I should have played for spread, and Chris should have played for the win. How does one play Scrabble.

#note out of time. Just dropping the Q is 3 better. #endgamesmall
>Christopher_Sykes: I 12K I. +9 423
#note Had I played QUBIT in this iteration, I would have gained 1 spread point, at least. Unless Chris played A(I) 11E and won the game somehow. Sad.
