#note This would have been a very different game if Dave had gone first.
>evans_clinchy: ?AIJNVZ C9 ZANJa +85 155
#note This is pretty clearly best, but it would have been fun just to play ZA and go for the huge J play next turn.

>evans_clinchy: IOQTUVY 5A QIV.UT +36 191
#note This seemed necessary since it obstructs the A column a little bit - can't just give him a wide-open shot at it. Quackle wants to ignore that part of the board and just play JIVY, which could lead to QUOTE or QUOTA for 81 next turn. But he's always blocking there, right? It's a high-risk/high-reward kind of play. I'd do that when down 76, not when up 76. Don't need to gamble.
>dave_wiegand: DDEEOOR 7I RODEOED +66 145
>evans_clinchy: EFHIOSY 6L FOY +37 228
#note Strong leave, but the board isn't really bingo-friendly enough to justify fishing. HOSE 8L is 16 extra points, so I should do that.

>evans_clinchy: BEERSWX G1 WEXES +42 317
#note A lot of things sim decently here. WEB 6H keeps the board closed and retains X plays for later, like GREX. WEX or WEXES at 9I is similarly strong defensively. I didn't mind the more aggressive option here, though. This puts me up over 100, and keeping BR with the bag full of A's and E's is a great way to ensure a balanced rack and keep scoring. I didn't think he could hurt me that bad with the W.

#note EISELL E7 is a fantastic play I didn't see. I'm fine with this, though. Gives me a good chance to end the game next turn.
