>Matthew_Larocque: ?DEEGNQ H4 QuEEN +46 46
#note As far as opening racks were, this was one of the more annoying ones. I tried to convince myself that exchanging would net me a bingo 90% of the time. Then, I thought I'd only need to score 25ish after QUEEN to get about the same result. An extensive simulation slighty favours exchanging Q, EGQ, EQ, or GQ in that order. QUEEN is just behind those.

>Paul_Terry: DIY G7 YID +24 52
>Matthew_Larocque: AAGMNOU J4 .AU +17 105
#note I didn't see I6 MANGO 25 which is the only play scoring in that range. Probably better to turn this rack over this early in the game.

#note Or that could happen.
>Paul_Terry: EITU 15A ETUI. +18 100
>Matthew_Larocque: LOPRSTW 13C WR.PT +22 213
#note I like blocking here instead of the few extra points off the X.
>Paul_Terry: EFINR 11E ..FINER +20 120
>Matthew_Larocque: CJLOOST A12 JOL. +19 232
#note Ditto.
>Paul_Terry: AHW 3K HAW +34 154
>Matthew_Larocque: ?ACGOST K7 eSCA.GOT +60 292
#note When you try to block everything and get a bingo anyways... but CONGRATS in the same spot is safer. TBH I wouldn't have known for sure if that had made it into the dictionary.
>Paul_Terry: ACER 8K .CARE +30 184
#note A little deja-vu, 2 games earlier my opponent played the same letters in the same spot.
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEILPS 15H PALSIED +94 386
#note :/

>Matthew_Larocque: ELOORST B11 LO +11 441
#note I'm pretty sure there's only 3 possible bingo draws after this. OLESTRA, SANTERO, and STORAGE hooking NU. I have no idea how to calculate the probability of that. I believe there's 120 2-tile combinations in 16 letters? But, because there's two As, there's two ways to draw NA, LA, or GA. So 6 out of 120? 5%
>Paul_Terry: I 14E .I +10 271
#note The Knights of Ni.
>Matthew_Larocque: AELORST C5 OLESTRA +61 502
#note Ni!
