>Oliver_Roeder: ADEFRT 8D FARTED +28 28
>Mike: IJLMNSU 7C JIN +25 25
#note Pretty clear UNJAM here; just missed it.
>Oliver_Roeder: DILW B4 WILD +22 50
>Mike: ALMSUVZ A1 ULVA +30 55
>Oliver_Roeder: ABDR C2 BRAD +23 73
>Mike: ADEMSXZ 6D DAZE +44 99
>Oliver_Roeder: EGIOP 5G POGIE +20 93
#note Oops. It looked a little funny at the time, but it didn't seem worth going after.
>Mike: AMRSTUX 2C .RUX +29 128
#note No reason to open row 1 here; MAX 4H is fine.
>Oliver_Roeder: AEGGNR 1E NAGGER +35 128
>Mike: AFMRSST L1 FARMS +37 165
#note Well, this gets the phony off the board at least...
>Oliver_Roeder: EHY M2 HEY +34 162
>Mike: BILSTTT N1 BIT +25 190
#note Or TIT.
>Oliver_Roeder: EKNU 3E NEUK +22 184
>Mike: EHLSTTV O3 SHTETL +43 233
#note I didn't consider MYTH 4L, which relies on the vowel-heavy pool to bail out the ELSTV leave. It sims a couple of points behind SHTETL, which is a play that I normally miss in real time and see instantly when simming the game.
>Oliver_Roeder: QT E5 Q...T +28 212
>Mike: CEINTVY J5 .VY +17 250
#note I considered BY 1N and YE N6, both of which sim ahead of this play. I guess they both score enough that the leave is less of a concern, though both of these other plays may lead to fishing on a closed board, which never works out the way you want it to.
>Oliver_Roeder: IO N6 OI +10 222
>Mike: ?CEINOT 10E sECTION +76 326
>Oliver_Roeder: AEILMNU M7 ALUMINE +76 298
>Mike: ACEIIOP K8 AP.EIC +20 346
#note The sim winner is EPINAOI in this spot, which makes no sense to me, as emptying the bag puts me at the mercy of whatever Ollie has drawn. This probably should be AEONIC instead of APNEIC, though, just to clear the O with a bunch more to draw. Also: find the best play with Ollie's rack here.
>Oliver_Roeder: ?ENOORS N9 hONORES +79 377
>Oliver_Roeder: ?ENOORS -- -79 298
>Mike: AEIOOSW 9E .OEA +17 363
#note With the known information, this is the best play. I'd like to be able to tell you that I was being brilliant and clever by blocking OESTRONEs/OESTROgEN H7, but in truth, I didn't see them either.
>Oliver_Roeder: ?ENOORS N9 hONORS +27 325
>Mike: IOOSW O14 OW +17 380
#note SOW here, of course. If you're keeping score at home (which you probably aren't, but I am), we're up to 67 points dropped in endgames through eight games. That needs to improve.
