#note really weird decision if I wrote down my leave correctly. You can find a better play than this one, I'm certain of it. #strategymedium

>Joshua_Sokol: ADEGIRY L12 YAGI +32 241
#note DEY is 46. DEY is a lot. The G is bad. The G is the worst tile. The I is also bad. Lots of I's left.

I originally simmed this after thinking Matt opened with KIF rather than KEF. Now YAGI sims just barely better whereas before DEY simmed 2.5 points better. The difference one fewer E and one more I can make in the middle of a game. This is why I say to people to pay attention to their tracking. It's one of your sacredest strategic tools.

#note he's likely going to block the right side completely was my thought. This doesn't seem to be so hard; playing down from N8, anything with a V, etc. so I think I have to go for a 9 on the left side or open a marginal lane like this play does. But this may never score enough to win. #questionable
