>Jack: EHOV 8E HOVE +20 20
>Carl: ?EKLRTU I3 TRUcKLE +78 78
>Jack: IINOPSS D7 ISOSPIN +83 103
>Carl: FMPTUUX C5 TUP +15 93
#note This setup paid off spectacularly, but the correct play is FRUMP 4H (-6)
>Jack: CGOT E4 GOTC. +29 132
>Carl: EFMRSUX B2 MUREX +87 180
>Jack: OTT C1 TOT +14 146
>Carl: AAFNSUY 14B UNSAY +42 222
>Jack: DEILOTW 5H O.TWILED +74 220
>Carl: AADEFRY A1 DERAY +47 269
#note Not a bad play, but far from optimal. Best is FAYED O1, then DEFRAY 15E, then DEFRAY O5, then FA 6N (keeping DERAY for next turn), then my play. (-6) So much potential!!
>Jack: IIRV O1 VIRI. +30 250
>Carl: ?AEFIIN 3G AN.IlIFE. +74 343
#note This isn't that impressive when you figure I had already seen ANTILIFE before the R was there. But it's a good thing I did see it, since ZEAL 8L would have hurt after ANTILIFE M1.
>Jack: AELZ 15E LAZE +46 296
>Carl: ABDFILS 6L DIF +33 376
>Jack: EGNO 11D .ENGO +16 312
>Carl: AABLOQS J2 Q. +31 407
>Jack: CEINW 12H WINCE +37 349
>Carl: AABGLOS M9 BALSA +31 438
#note Second best. BALSA does well to close the board, but BASAL M10 does a little better because it doesn't have any hooks. As it turned out, the threat of a bingo forming BALSAM was extremely relevant here. Quackle says I win 2% more after BASAL.
>Jack: AADEEMN 9M .A +4 353
>Carl: ABGHOOR N13 HOG +19 457
#note You can't trust Quackle's analysis on this one. Yes, BOHO O7, ABHOR O7, and BAH O7 all win, that doesn't justify getting lazy. Quackle is vastly overestimating the likelihood that Jack has the J. In fact, there's only a 1 in 3 chance that he has it. He definitely has 6 out of 7 of ADEEMNR, and may well have hit the bingo. This is a very delicate position because plays like RAH 13L fail to block RENAMED 14H. Some plays at N13 fail to block bingos on row O, and a few others give back ginormous J plays at O12 or 15L. Fortunately, HOG takes out all the threats without opening any new ones.
>Jack: ADEEMNR O8 AMEND +37 390
>Carl: ABEJOR C9 JO +36 493
