#player2 Gunther Gunther
>Noah: DINNOOR H8 ONION +12 12
#note Also considered INDOOR (I figured I'd do it with the I on the star), and kinda thought about RONDO and DONOR. Q thinks I should've played INDOOR. My average score next turn is basically the same after both plays. ONION reduces his average score by a couple points but that's not enough. Meh. Probably just imagining myself as too cute, though this isn't a big error.
>Gunther: CCHUUVW 11G V.UCH +26 26
#note Actual rack.
>Noah: AADEIRU F6 UREDIA +25 37
>Gunther: CMUW E4 CWM +24 50
>Noah: AABEEHK 4C HA.KEE +32 69
>Gunther: ?DIMOPU 3G PODIUMs +91 141
>Noah: ABGILTY 3B BAY +31 100
#note I had the option to keep ILTY here!!
>Gunther: AFX 2H FAX +63 204
>Noah: FGIILST E8 FIG +18 118
#note Maybe this should be STIFLE to score and open some lanes. Otoh STIFLE may exhaust the board faster.
>Gunther: DS I1 D..S +22 226
>Noah: IILLSST 12C TILL +16 134
#note Also considered ILL, decided on this because TTTTT is out and this gives me a more exclusive hook.
>Gunther: IOTV L1 VO.IT +28 254
>Noah: ?IOPQSS 6J QIS +43 177
>Gunther: ATU 1L .ATU +21 275
>Noah: ?IOOPSW B6 WOOPIeS +76 253
>Gunther: ADLN A5 LAND +31 306
>Noah: EEGGRTT C6 EGRET +32 285
>Gunther: AJR 2A JAR +34 340
>Noah: AEEGOOT 12K OGEE +15 300
#note Also considered OGEE 10K, PEAGE G3, and exchanging. I only realized this right after I hit my clock, but the draws to ZOEAE after this are worth something. This seems ok.
>Gunther: ABNNS O8 BANNS +31 371
>Noah: AEINORT E12 .O +2 302
#note Basically just considered fishing off the O here. I didn't realize that this is actually pretty cool, because if he does LEERY and I draw the T, this wins, and the same is not true if I play TO. While Gunther was playing his turn I noticed that TOE C12 is potentially correct. After playing that, Gunther scores less with LEERY and TERRY, I have good chances to draw an E (2/3 if his rack is random), and Gunther must empty the bag or pass.
>Gunther: EEEELRY 14B LEERY +35 406
#note Actual rack. Gunther said he also considered playing C12 TE, but was worried I was setting up NERTZ. In the post-mortem, he seemed pretty sure LEERY was a mistake, and that he should've played TE instead. According to CP, TE does lose to NERTZif Gunther draws the R, and ties if he draws the I or T. It seems to win otherwise, though.
