>elaine: COW 7F COW +20 34
>Steve: AANNTTX 6H TAX +32 32
#note 9h taxa winning a sim, slightly ahead of just TAX there. My play a couple points back in valuation and trails by 1.5 in winning percentage.

#note ruh-roh
>Steve: ANNTTTW J5 ..T.NT +15 47
#note It didn't take long to find this play, and I was pretty sure it was correct. Q disagrees, preferring 4L WANT, or WATT. The trouble w that is there's a good chance Elaine has the case blank in her rack. But then it likes L1 WANT(o)N, before my play, as well. Is the W that bad a tile to hang on to?
>elaine: ?CDORRS 11D ReCORDS +82 160
>Steve: AFGINTW 4L WAIF +36 83
>elaine: ADEIL O4 .AILED +30 190
>Steve: GIINNTV D9 VI.GIN +20 103
#note Q sacrifices the points to keep the TING leave w either VIN(E) or VIN(A). VI(D) is its third choice and this, its fourth.
>elaine: AAENRRU - +0 190
#note Elaine exchanged all 7 tiles. She said I took her spot to play AUGU(R)Y.
>Steve: AEMNNST N4 .NMATE +33 136
#note Perhaps just MAN at N4.

>elaine: JO 15A JO. +30 268
>Steve: ABDEHIS L10 HIED +30 199
#note A lot of options here, which explains why I took a lot of time on this play. Unfortunately chose a move midway down the list after a sim. Highest scoring play is BANSHIE for 48; I may have played that had I seen it, even tho it gives an awful lot back. H11 (R)EHAB is deemed best, another move I never saw, but I really didn't want to fork the board down the H column, anyway.
>elaine: INO 9D .INO +15 283
>Steve: AABEGOS M6 AG +16 215
#note Q says n13 w BOA
>elaine: EIRV H11 .IVER +27 310
>Steve: ABEEORS E1 AEROBES +77 292
#note Had the flashy 9 (AN)AEROBES, that was blocked.
>elaine: FKLU 2A FLUK. +24 334
>Steve: ABEIRYY D4 YAY +37 329
#note wasn't positive of FLUKEY being good, which had a negative effect on my play. PLays at F1 lead the pack, w D2 (K)AY stuck in the middle of those, somehow. I liked getting rid of both Ys, especially w/ three U's unseen.
>elaine: EGMU C5 GEUM +20 354
>Steve: ABEEILR A1 A.EBRILE +194 523
#note Wasn't this lucky. Apparently we played the game w 99 tiles, because the bag was empty and this ended the game. I just assumed my tracking was off. Missing an 8th O.
>elaine: OPSSTUU - +0 354
#note game ended w Elaine holding opsstuu
>Steve: O - +0 523
#note final score was 537-354
