#player2 Mina Mina
>James_Curley: AGO 8G GOA +8 8
>Mina: ELNRRUY 9H RYU +21 21
#note Oops, would've played 7F RULY for 27 if I'd seen it!
>James_Curley: ADGINRU G1 GUARDIN. +63 71
#note Striking that DAURING plays in three places, all of which score more than GUARDING.
>Mina: CEGLNRT 2E CL.NG +10 31
#note Oops, CL(U)NG played for more points at J7! But Quackle strongly prefers J8 L(U)G because it keeps CENRT (and the A and I remain open to play through). Maybe I thought I was being defensive, but that G next to the triple really isn't very dangerous, and I should be focusing on offense when I'm behind.
>James_Curley: EEFLNOT 4E FO.ELENT +74 145
>Mina: ABENORT 10B BARONET +70 101
#note Placement at 7I scores 4 more points but is too dangerous. And indeed if you sim for long enough, the 70-point choice comes out on top.
>James_Curley: HIM 10J HIM +29 174
>Mina: EEHOOTY 5A HOOEY +38 139
#note Oh good god, a common-word bingo was available, EYE(T)OOTH! What a miss! I didn't know the next-best play, 5C HOYE(D); I didn't know that HOY was a verb. I chose the third-best play but it gave him back tons of points.
>James_Curley: AATW A4 W.ATA +45 219
>Mina: ?EENOTV D7 OVE.NETs +78 217
#note Oh wow, there were higher-scoring common-word bingos available, L6 mOVE(M)ENT and D8 VE(R)bOTEN: both would have been beautiful finds.
>James_Curley: DILR 11K DIRL +20 239
>Mina: EEIJKMO 7I JOKE +44 261
#note Yup, best play.
>James_Curley: EIRSSTW 13D .WISTERS +63 302
#note Ooh RE(T)WISTS would've scored more, but I wouldn't have known that word!
>Mina: AEIMS 8K AMIES +43 304
#note Atypically, I didn't write down my rack on this turn, so I don't know what letters I kept.
>James_Curley: ADEIRU 1G .AUDIER +39 341
>Mina: ?CEEIST L10 ..C +14 318
#note There were a whole bunch of bingos available, but I didn't know CITESsES or CEnTESIS or pECTISES, and I whiffed on CoESITES. 14H EmETICS would have been brilliant with four overlaps but I didn't see that either.
>James_Curley: BO 6J BO +27 368
>Mina: ?EEFIST O1 FETIShE. +83 401
#note Wowww, there was a higher-scoring nine available, bE(E)TF(L)IES, though I knew it not! Nor did I know N2 TEpEFI(E)S, which is higher-scoring as well!
>James_Curley: PP 6A .PP +27 395
>Mina: AILQUXZ N2 ZAX +71 472
#note I have so many high-scoring choices. I figured multiple Q spots would stay open if I grabbed my highest-scoring play first.
>James_Curley: ADINV 6F V.A +14 409
#note Yup, he did the right thing blocking QI.
>Mina: ILQU C3 QU.. +30 502
>James_Curley: DIN M5 NID. +26 435
>James_Curley: (IL) +4 439
