>Jim_Burlant: ?EELRTT 8D LETTERs +64 64
#note This is one of a number of choices that sim within 2 points of 8D TREsTLE, the sim winner.
>Joan_Kelly: CEOY J6 CO.EY +23 23
>Jim_Burlant: EEGHRST K9 REG +15 79
#note E5 GHEE, which I didn't think of, is obviously much better.
>Joan_Kelly: ABEIOPS -ABEIOPS +0 23
#note This is a random Quackle rack; I have no idea what her rack was here.
>Jim_Burlant: EHOOSTW L10 HOW +30 109
#note Best.
>Joan_Kelly: AQ F6 QA. +32 55
>Jim_Burlant: DEORSST D7 O.DSTERS +68 177
#note Best bingo.
>Joan_Kelly: EJLLO 13I JELLO +50 105
>Jim_Burlant: ?AAAKMN C11 AMA +20 197
#note Quackle's preference is 13B MARKA or KARMA. Uh...no thanks. Can it really be right to give her an X bonanza? 13C ARAK, which I didn't think of, is probably best. This play takes a mild equity hit (<2 pts).
>Joan_Kelly: AFORV 14F FAVOR +34 139
>Jim_Burlant: ?AIKNUU 10D .UK +17 214
#note Best.
>Joan_Kelly: BDIIN G2 BINDI +20 159
>Jim_Burlant: ?AINTUX 14M XU +27 241
#note While this scores well and does the best job manicuring the rack of any of the choices, it's definitely risky because of what it opens up. I saw the risk and thought that with only 3 O's still unseen she might not have an immediate play there and I could get away with it. Quackle prefers C3 AUXIN, F3 XU, H1 XI to this. 15J AUXINs also worth consideration.
>Joan_Kelly: EOP 15M OPE +29 188
#note Good thing for me she also didn't have the H for HOPE. That would have been painful.
>Jim_Burlant: ?AIINNT C1 INANITy +63 304
#note The only playable bingo.
>Joan_Kelly: HIT H1 HIT +24 212
>Jim_Burlant: ADELORZ 1A ZA.RE +45 349
#note AZIDO 1A much better than this; don't know why I couldn't think of it. But the duck says I'm at 99% winning chances, even with this mistake.
>Joan_Kelly: AAEEEGW -AAEEE +0 212
#note This is a random Quackle rack, I have no idea what her rack was.
>Jim_Burlant: DELOUVW B13 WUD +20 369
#note Right idea, wrong execution. WUD D3 scores 6 more.
>Joan_Kelly: ARY 15I YAR +22 234
>Jim_Burlant: EEFILOV 4A VI.E +22 391
>Joan_Kelly: AI 2A AI. +21 255
>Jim_Burlant: EEFLNOU 5B F.LE +21 412
#note Quackle does not like this, preferring A4 VENULE. Would have been nice if i had thought of this.
>Joan_Kelly: IM A14 MI +25 280
>Jim_Burlant: AEGGNOU 1H .UG +7 419
#note Simply wanted to prevent any miracle 8's like HISTONES H1, which was still a possibility given this pool. As good as anything else.
>Joan_Kelly: DENNPST 11B P..S +16 296
#note Once again, I lost track of the end sequence and failed to annotate it properly. The only thing of note that did happen was that I completely flubbed the end game, blocking a line I didn't need to block and needlessly hemorrhaging, I don't know, 25 - 30 points of spread. While the win was never in doubt, I think that, in retrospect, the lack of focus (perhaps the game had come too easily?) and late-day fatigue were beginning to show. Final score recorded as 446 - 347.
