>Marcela_Kadanka: EHH H7 HEH +18 18
>Arie_Sinke: EEIKOTT G6 KETO +24 24
#note KETO is the best play; the only question is which side of HEH to put it on. I had some reason (which I now forget) for preferring my choice. Probably because it's harder to overlap the K.
>Marcela_Kadanka: ?DILOTU I8 TOLUIDs +70 88
>Arie_Sinke: EIJSTWY 14F JET. +26 50
#note Quackle hates this, suggesting YWIs 14F (a 9 point sacrifice to keep JEST instead of YWIS) or JUTE 11H, presumably for defense and setting up my S. I looked at both of those plays but wasn't convinced that they were better, and I'm still not convinced. Perhaps the underlaps to JETs are more dangerous than I thought?
>Marcela_Kadanka: ACNV 12H V.NCA +28 116
>Arie_Sinke: EINOSWY 15E YOWE +50 100
#note Best by far.
>Marcela_Kadanka: AAI K11 A.AI +12 128
>Arie_Sinke: AAINOSS 13G SO. +19 119
#note This looks good; I get a few immediate points and AAINS isn't that bad a leave. Wins a sim.
>Marcela_Kadanka: AELZ 10D ZEAL +24 152
>Arie_Sinke: AAGINSY M8 GAINSAY +85 204
#note Only bingo.
>Marcela_Kadanka: ACF 11C CAF +37 189
>Arie_Sinke: ABEGLRR D7 GRA..BLE +42 246
#note Glad I looked past GAZAR and BAZAR to find this better alternative.
>Marcela_Kadanka: AMOT F4 ATOM +24 213
>Arie_Sinke: DEINRSU 4D UR.NIDES +70 316
#note This has got to be the best bingo; it's harder to overlap than UNRAISED and DENARIUS.
>Marcela_Kadanka: BIR 8A BIR. +18 231
>Arie_Sinke: EEFGMOR 9B FE.R +22 338
#note I liked this play because it obstructed the B, which I regarded as the most dangerous unblocked bingo line. I can't seem to get it to win a sim to the end of the game, but I still think it's the right call. Another reasonable option is FOG 5J, taking out the parallels to URANIDES while retaining a better leave.
>Marcela_Kadanka: NP D3 P.N +5 236
>Arie_Sinke: DEGIMOO 5H DEMOI +30 368
#note Optimizing score while taking out the URANIDES overlaps. I am likely to withstand two consecutive bingos at this point.
>Marcela_Kadanka: DEX 6I XED +35 271
>Arie_Sinke: GINOTUV 8M .UV +21 389
#note I'm playing for rack balance here. Even if Marcela has something like VaQUEROS I probably still win.
>Marcela_Kadanka: ORW N13 ROW +24 295
>Arie_Sinke: GINOQTT N7 Q.IT +21 410
#note This is the best way to bail out the Q.
>Marcela_Kadanka: U 14M ..U +6 301
>Arie_Sinke: GINOPST 2B POSTING +80 490
#note That worked out unexpectedly well.
>Arie_Sinke: (?EEILNR) +12 502
