#player2 Mike_F Mike F
>Alec: BEEJRUX 8G JEUX +36 36
#note 8F JEUX is slightly better. #tacticssmall
>Mike_F: ??AFIOY J6 FO.Y +25 25
#note Or OF 9G, but we bingo way more often after this.
>Alec: BEGRSTY K3 GYBE +25 61
>Mike_F: ??AAIRW L4 AIRWAys +88 113
>Alec: AEERSTT M5 TE +14 75
#note AIRWAys blocked my bingos. :-(
>Mike_F: IIMOQRS -IIMOQ +0 113
#note M: My exchange trigger seems to be calibrated way too sensitive this tourney. QIS N3 is fine. Really.
#note A: QIS sets up O1 MOI.
>Alec: ADELRST H2 TREADL.S +60 135
>Mike_F: CDNORSS N2 CODS +20 133
#note Right idea, but SCROD N6 is a bit better.
>Alec: EFHNNNO I1 FOEHN +24 159
#note M: Oh, so the word is apparently out to shut down the board on me. Okay then.
>Mike_F: DILNRSV 8L .VID +24 157
>Alec: CHNNORZ 3M C.Z +28 187
>Mike_F: IKLNRRS N7 R.NK +18 175
>Alec: AHINNOR 9H .H. +22 209
#note Quackle picks the standard G8 JOHN, but I prefer SHY because JOHN opens high-scoring bingo lanes on rows 11 and 12 and sacrifices 4 points. But I didn't know TREADLES takes an S, and thus there was already a bingo lane on row 10. This may be a #tacticssmall
>Mike_F: AILNRST I8 ..LAN +8 183
#note TREADLESS! Ugh. Missed bingo #6.
>Alec: AILNNOR H11 LORAN +23 232
#note H11 NORIA is best, keeping the L for K9...wow. #visionsmall
>Mike_F: AIIORST K10 OI +5 188
>Alec: AEIINTT J11 TEIN +13 245
#note I don't know why I played this over J11 TENIA--maybe to keep the A for G9? Quackle prefers short plays like 4N DA, 14H AIT, and O10 AIT, but it doesn't realize that Mike has just fished. I like J11 TENIA best. #tacticssmall
>Mike_F: AEEIRST 15B STEARI.E +59 247
#note A: I immediately wished I had played TENIA when this came down, but Mike would still have had 6A SERIATED.
#note M: I could be talked into opening the new set of lines with SERIATED, but it's close.
>Alec: AEIIMQT 14A QI +26 271
>Mike_F: BGGIRTU 13B BURG +19 266
#note Not worth it to spend the last R; BUG is fine. I think I was too worried about the S hook...
>Alec: ADEIMOT D6 MEDIATO. +76 347
#note M: ...and not worried enough about stuff like this.
>Mike_F: GILNOTW C7 WOG +30 296
#note GOWD 8A wins the sim, and on reflection I can see why; it's actually kinda tough to block E1-E7 and A1-A8 without emptying the bag (but where's my third line? O8-O15 somehow?)
>Alec: EEIOPPS E5 PIE +20 367
#note Plays on column B making EWE block all of Mike's bingos, and they even preserve column E for me to use next turn. Quackle chooses B4 POPE, followed by B6 PE; although I might have chosen PE just so Mike doesn't know my rack. E5 PIE allows AILMENT, ALIMENT, ALUMINA, AMENTIA, and VALIANT at B1. #tacticslarge
>Mike_F: AAILMNT O3 .A +16 312
#note This appears to be a bug in Championship Player; it has me winning 1/8 with this play (P in the bag) because the only block is so low in valuation that it doesn't get considered. (It also has MIL 6D winning 1/8 for a similar set of reasons.) Can we get a new sim engine yet? *cough*ZAR*cough*
>Alec: EOPSUUV 8A PO.. +21 388
>Mike_F: AEILMNT G8 .AM +24 336
#note -9 to LIMN F4, and it's about to get worse.
>Alec: ESUUV 14J .EVUS +16 404
>Mike_F: EILNT F2 INTEL +20 356
>Mike_F: EILNT -- -20 336
#note M: Um...yeah. Why isn't this a word yet? (Also: NONELITE.)
>Alec: U 10F U. +6 410
#note M: -37 here, -46 overall, -160 through eighteen games. And six missed bingos. The good news: these are fixable mistakes.
>Alec: (EILNT) +10 420
