>Matt_Zeleznik: CLRSTTY J5 CL.TTY +21 158
#note tough call here. TRYST is much more me, takes out the easy lane, complicates the board. I want to say it's the best play, but Sim somehow favors CLOTTY by 1%, even when I specify an S or a blank on her rack.

>Matt_Zeleznik: ?EIRSTV 5E VERTI.eS +98 256
#note I was looking for Column L plays to take out both lanes but never found L3 VERISTs. So would love to sacrifice 15 points for that board position.
I might be pulling a Kalus, but I think Quackle is putridly wrong here. She is shuffling around her tiles past few turns, SUPER likely she hits on the L column. VERISTs cucks* the board, makes her fish and I can just keep blocking whatever she opens. The only lanes left are the V in VERISTs and the N and T in last position in HAUNTERS. If she takes a turn to score, I'll cover up those lanes so quickly she won't know what hit her.

>Matt_Zeleznik: ADEIMNU I12 IDEM +28 284
#note Fat whiff on NUMDAH.
AIDMEN would be a play if there was still a blank unseen. I'm not a huge fan of opening it back up and keeping a U, when all there is an S unseen.

>Matt_Zeleznik: EEEINNU B4 ENNUI +9 358
#note Another fascinating position. Engine likes ENGINE funnily enough. I'd never have the cojones to make that play. The next turn purely rests our draws.
I thought ENNUI sets up a decent scoring spot, that would help me in the long run. GAG[S] doesn't signal a strong leave (strong, meaning in this position--definitely not the Z, prob not the X, cuz she is a fisher, so she'd dump the X with B column plays likely)
But knowing this info, probably strengthens the case for EN[G]INE. Man that woulda been gutsy.
>Sarah_Corbin: Q I4 Q. +11 332
>Matt_Zeleznik: DEEEFMN 3J DE.F +16 374
#note I was pretty proud of my play, despite Quackle hating on it. This invites plays to A1, and as long as they aren't Z bombs (which still is highly improbable given possibly of ZAGs on the last turn and drawing it on her one tile play) I can weather them. I also for once was 100% on DEAFS* so I thought I could win a late challenge. DEAF blocks X bombs and bingos to the G.
I'm not sure why quackle disagrees.

#note Okay this play is sick. I don't give a hoot what quackle says.
