>Arie_Sinke: AAEFNOR 8D FAENA +24 24
#note Looks best.
>Steve_Grob: IVW F6 VI.W +18 18
>Arie_Sinke: AEIOORZ 7H ZOOIER +28 52
#note It looks like FOZIER D8 for 36 is a substantially better play despite the worse leave. I'm pretty sure I didn't spot it.
>Steve_Grob: ADINOTU K4 AUD.TION +86 104
>Arie_Sinke: AFHILXY 10B FLAXY +56 108
#note Clearly best.
>Steve_Grob: HLOW J10 HOWL +33 137
>Arie_Sinke: EHINRTU 8K .HEIR +47 155
#note I wasn't sure whether or not this was better than THEIN in the same spot - normally the R is a better tile than the N, but the N goes well with the U. After 2000 iterations it looks like THEIN may be better by an extremely small margin.
>Steve_Grob: ?NORTTV 4H TeV.TRON +74 211
>Arie_Sinke: ACDGNTU C9 C.UNG +22 177
#note I saw this and assumed it was best, and played it quickly. It's fine, but the other placement (C9) with the same score may be better. Not sure how to evaluate between the two. I guess it's a question of whether the HOWLS spot is my friend or not - I'm down, but I don't hold an S.
>Steve_Grob: AEIPRSU 3B UPRAISE +72 283
>Arie_Sinke: ADILMTY 2F MILTY +39 216
#note This is probably best, for points if nothing else. MALTY is also okay but AD is better than DI. The one thing to note about MILTY is that it makes the B incredibly valuable because of BLET. With a large deficit, I'm fine with that, even though I don't hold a B. MILADY in the same spot is also okay, but it doesn't do anything MILTY doesn't do, so I might as well go for the two extra points.
>Steve_Grob: Q G1 Q.. +12 295
>Arie_Sinke: ?AABDDE 1I ABrADED +92 308
#note Best bingo.
>Steve_Grob: CELNN B2 N.NCLE +20 315
>Arie_Sinke: DEIJMRS D1 JI.D +40 348
#note This looks good; JERRID gets a few extra points but it pays to keep the more developed leave.
>Steve_Grob: OOP L10 POO +21 336
>Arie_Sinke: EGIMRRS A7 MIG +22 370
#note Tough position. I wasn't sure whether I should focus on outrunning here or go all in for a bingo. I was afraid that if I made a fishing play like ERGO Steve could play at 14J and close down most of the board while taking a lead, so I concluded that I needed points. Quackle likes GEM 2L for 26. There are 5 Es out so spending mine for 4 extra points may not be a bad idea.
>Steve_Grob: EEK 6M EKE +20 356
>Arie_Sinke: BEEIRRS 14D BERRIES +76 446
#note Only bingo.
>Steve_Grob: AEEOSTU 15A TOEAS +25 381
>Arie_Sinke: AGST H11 STA.G +21 467
#note Best out.
>Arie_Sinke: (EU) +4 471
