>Alec: DIOOPPW 8G POW +16 16
>Michael: ESZ J8 SEZ +41 41
>Alec: DIIOPRS 9B SPIROID +72 88
>Michael: FIT E8 F.IT +14 55
>Alec: AEHHRTT 12A HEATH +41 129
#note Quackle prefers K9 HATH, which I considered. HEATH has the better equity, but the board is good for bingos in the short term, with row 12 and column B, and HATH preserves both lanes and keeps a better bingo leave. #tacticssmall
>Michael: DILORWY B5 DROW.Y +23 78
#note Michael told me I blocked DROWSILY. I guess HEATH was the right play, lol*. The best equity play is A12 HWYL.
>Alec: ?AEEORT A2 ROsEATE +90 219
#note I saw OcREATE, but I didn't want to give up a C hook at A1. This sacrifices 3 points, yet Quackle rates this an 8-point mistake. In hindsight, it was a mistake; I drew both C's and the other blank this game. #tacticssmall
>Michael: ILL A12 .ILL +21 99
>Alec: ?AAEKST K9 TAKAhES +83 302
#note I'm far ahead that I can sacrifice over ten points of equity to avoid allowing triple-triples. In this case, I should play 10D SIKA. This play got probably the longest hold of my career, because Michael was directing the tournament and a bag of tiles was spilled. #tacticsmedium
>Michael: ADIQ 15G QAID. +45 144
>Alec: ELLNOVX 10D N.XE +59 361
>Michael: ABDE L11 ABED +32 176
>Alec: ELLORTV C11 V.LOR +16 377
#note Quackle assigns this the highest valuation, but M11 TOR and a few other plays have undetectably better win chances (99.99 > 99.99 apparently). I considered TOR but I did not realize that it forced bingos ending in S to play on column N instead of column M, thus giving me high-scoring responses. #tacticssmall
>Michael: AGN I5 GNA. +9 185
>Alec: CEILNTV M7 CIVET +24 401
>Michael: IINR 5E IRIN. +12 197
#note G6 RI(PIE)NI is awesome.
>Alec: ALNNOST N10 TALON +26 427
#note This has the best equity, but now that I win 100% (more than 99.995% anyway, but it appears as 100% due to rounding error), I should give myself a chance to pad my spread with 8L LINO--which makes a bingo lane on column O and prevents Michael from using the hotspot at 8L-8O. #tacticssmall
>Michael: UUUUY -UUUUY +0 197
>Alec: CEFGNOS 8L F.CO +39 466
#note I missed an opportunity here--8L FIG sets up the S at O8, and it can be blocked only with the remaining A. Quackle prefers GIF for some reason? #tacticsmedium
>Michael: EGM O13 MEG +24 221
>Alec: ABEGNSU H1 BEGU. +27 493
>Michael: EJRU 2F JE.R +27 248
>Alec: AIMNOSU D1 MINUS +27 520
#note I have to block C7 YEP. D4 AMIN is best, saving J2 SOU. (-12) #endgamemedium
>Michael: ENUUY C7 YE. +28 276
>Alec: AO 1G A.O +9 529
