#note the standard JIAO might be best in the end. JIAO sims best over AJI, which makes me inclined towards JIAO even more. AJI should sim better than it is, since Quackle doesn't account for Josh's defensive responses properly, plus the state of the board being S dependent, plus Josh's range, etc, which all favour JIAO. AJI doesn't have a high scoring range, and while an S is not guaranteed, it's fairly likely. JIAO's downside is mainly in giving Josh free reign over the scoring spots I open up, but EIPY is really the better range going into that battle, and offsetting the S hook is great. I am used to going for AJI type responses and shying away from JIAO responses, but this is a scenario where the opposite is true.

#note (R)UBIGO for 36 seems like the call, though there is an agument for this positionally the sacrifice is too grand

#note prefer to keep the top left intact, OBTAINED really exhausts the quadrant
>Josh_Sokol: EHIILMN 14J HEMIN +49 335
#note He considered the 14F placement as well, which the sim likes, just preventing disaster HEMINS bingoes and encouraging scoring plays. That said, what's nice about 14J is that both the top left and the bottom right are in exhaustion danger, a play through the U in RUBIGO and down column M or N could really do a number on the board for bingoes, so altogether I like Josh's play

#note wow CHIAO of course, huge miss.
