#player1 New_Player_1 New Player 1
#player2 Alec Alec
>New_Player_1: DEIRW H4 WEIRD +26 26
#note What a weird way to start a Scrabble game: by opening vertically.

#note AA is best at G7. (-7)
>New_Player_1: IOT 7F TO.I +6 32
>Alec: AEIJLRT J6 JILT +32 41
#note Quackle says this is best, despite that I missed the same word at F2 for 36.
>New_Player_1: AIRSV 10F VAIRS +32 64
>Alec: ?AEEFRT I3 FE +15 56
#note Tournament blank count: 6. Michael managed to block all the bingos on this rack! I didn't know 8J LEFTER, which is best and, unlike FE, opens lanes for bingos. (-11)
>New_Player_1: ADM J2 MAD +25 89
#note Keeping the board closed.
>Alec: ?AENRTZ 8J .AZiER +72 128

>New_Player_1: ETU 6J .UTE +11 100
>Alec: EELNOTV O5 OVE.LENT +62 190

>New_Player_1: NOSY F3 OY +17 139
>Alec: EGINOQT 6E QI +17 286
#note Championship Player favors 2B INGOT, while the sim favors 2C TONG. Given that Michael has an S, neither QI nor G9 QAT is an ideal play. (-9)
>New_Player_1: EEGHNS 2E GHEE +33 172
>Alec: EGNOSTU 1G TOG +20 306
#note NOG > TOG because 4 N's are unseen. (-5)
