>Mpakaboari_Jack: OPZ 8G POZ +28 28
>Mina: EEFLRST 9F FER +14 14
#note Eleventh best. Quackle favors 9G EF for 16, which is surprising because the leave of ELRST doesn't look that strong to me, especially being consonant-heavy. I do prefer its second-favorite play of 9F REF because it sets up the T-.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: ETY 10F YET +38 66
>Mina: CEGILST 7F GET +16 30
#note Another surprise: Quackle favors exchanging G, even though this scores nothing and may not hit anything! Just looked it up and there are twenty-two sevens in ?CEILST; I knew maybe ten of them. My play, however, is a very close second-best on simulation and indeed boasts a higher valuation.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: UV F5 VU. +9 75
>Mina: ACEILOS 5F .OCALISE +76 106
#note Best play.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: ?DEIIOR N5 DIORItE +74 149
#note The top-scoring bingos hook an -R on VOCALISE, but who would've known it took an -R!
>Mina: BILMUUV 11J MVUL. +20 126
#note Tenth best. It is mind-boggling that Quackle favors 8L MI(R)V followed by VI(R)L, since both plays leave two U's on your rack, which seems like the worst decision! Third-best O11 LUMBI for 32 makes more sense to me.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: DIY 8L YI.D +36 185
>Mina: BDIRTTU L10 T.RBID +22 148
#note Not among the top fifteen choices, surprisingly, even though my play scored decently and I drew into a bingo. Quackle favors M2 TUB(E)D for 19 leaving IRT.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: NX M7 N.X +39 224
>Mina: ENOSTUW 15E UNSTOWE. +86 234
#note Best play. Haha, did you know that UN(VOCALISED) is good?! It's third-best after O11 SWOUN for 47.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: BINR L1 BRIN. +20 244
>Mina: EGJLNPW 1L .ENJ +39 273
#note Oh my, I missed a big play! Quackle prefers 3I JEW(I)NG for 50 leaving LP. Big error, as my play with its clunky leave is only fourth-best, despite scoring second-highest among candidate plays.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: EHINS O11 SHINE +47 291
>Mina: GIKLPRW N13 KIP +32 305
#note Deemed second-best after E10 PRIG, which scores nine points less but keeps KLW instead of GLRW.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: FO M3 FO. +24 315
>Mina: AAEGLRW 14C WAGE +17 322
#note Tenth best. Quackle favors I5 (A)GA(Z)E for 31, which is a clever fit but doesn't leave the best letters. I'd rather dump the W, and I enjoyed setting up the front hook for S(WAGE), with one S and one blank still unseen.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: MOT 13B MOT +22 337
#note Setup blocked.
>Mina: ?AAALRR 2N AA +17 339
#note Sixth best, but frankly, the top eight choices are only a couple of points apart in valuation and in win percentage, so I wouldn't call this a mistake. Quackle favors 12 A AAL for 14 leaving ARR?.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: GHU 12C HUG +29 366
>Mina: ?ACLQRR H13 QA. +12 351
#note Second best after 15A CAL for 25 leaving QRR?. I like my leave better. Given that there were eight tiles left in the bag at this point, twelve of Quackle's top fifteen choices are exchanges; but I like continuing to score since I'm behind.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: AELT 15A ALE +19 385
#note He exposed a T here, then took it back onto his rack.
>Mina: ?CLNRRS I4 C.R +5 356
#note Second best. I have the correct idea, to set up a bingo lane. Quackle prefers I3 CR(A)N, but that's because Quackle knows SCRAN and I don't.
>Mpakaboari_Jack: DO G3 DO. +6 391
>Mina: ?ALNORS 3A tROLAN.S +66 422
>Mina: (challenge) +5 427
#note Phew, I'm golden in spite of his block. The other available winning play was nORLAN(D)S, which I didn't know.
>Mina: (AAEEIT) +12 439
