>Steven: Q -Q +0 0
>Alec: AACDRVZ 8F CZAR +30 30
>Steven: ?EFMORT H4 FORM.TEd +66 66
>Steven: ?EFMORT -- -66 0
#note This play would have been valid if the blank was an S. 7H FORMaTE scores 71, and I2 RETiFORM scores 67 without opening an S hook.
>Alec: ADEGORV 9G AGED +26 56
#note Chosen over 9G AG, which allows 10G pOMFRET. H6 OVA wins the sim; ADEGR >> ORV, and after OVA, Steven's highest-scoring bingos are 6C/6G FOREMOsT 66. The sim assumes that after AGED, Steven will play 10I FORMaTE, allowing potential OVER- plays at O8--which means that if Steven plays at 7H instead I can expect worse results than the sim suggests. #tacticsmedium
>Steven: ?EFMORT 7H FORMaTE +74 74
#note I5 ThE(RE)FROM is awesome.
>Alec: AEHOQRV 8L HERO +45 101
>Steven: EH 6N HE +27 101
>Alec: AAEQSVY -AAQVY +0 101
#note 6I YEA is best, but I didn't want to deal with the Q on this board. I forgot about S(HERO); K5 YAMS is second. #strategymedium
>Steven: EFO 6I FOE +23 124
>Alec: BEMORSU O1 EMBRU. +33 134
#note Quackle loves 5K MU, which has better equity and a good chance of drawing a bingo at 10A. I don't remember whether I considered plays at 5K. MOB is also good. #strategysmall
>Steven: INN 9L INN +20 144
>Alec: BEIKOSU 10B KUBIES +36 170
>Steven: JN E9 J.N +20 164
>Alec: ELOOOSX 12D OXO +38 208
>Steven: ADEINOS 4H ANODISE. +70 234
>Alec: ELOPSWY 5E OWLY +25 233
#note Quackle picks 3H YOW, which is tied for the best equity with 13B YOW--OWLY is a point behind, and the three unseen L's do not significantly diminish the gap. I prefer 13B YOW over 3H YOW, as it opens a potentially high-scoring lane on row 14 and doesn't obstruct the lanes on rows 3 and 5. #strategysmall
>Steven: IQ 3L QI +37 271
>Alec: EEGIPRS 3H PEG +21 254
#note Intentionally setting up S(PAY), but blocking row 3 in the process. 2M GEM is best; the P greatly helps my rack. #strategysmall
>Steven: GV C9 V.G +11 282
>Alec: EIINRSU J9 .UI +6 260
>Steven: DPT 11I D.PT +14 296
>Alec: EIILNRS 2B INLIERS +77 337
>Steven: LT B1 L.T +3 299
>Alec: AADEINT A3 ADNATE +29 366
#note I would have played 12H DETAIN, but the high-scoring lane on column A must be blocked. Quackle strongly prefers 11B AGIN, but that doesn't block any lanes and it turns over only two tiles (considering the blank unseen). N6 (HERN)IATED is awesome.
>Steven: ?ACILST 13F ITALiCS +62 361
#note The static valuations (which are extremely biased toward leaving one in the bag) suggest that Steven should play C1 ANTIC, or just about any other four-tile play. Considering my rack, I would have had a hard time blocking row 13 without giving back options on row 14.
>Alec: AAAIRUV D1 U.VA +16 382
#note This is the only out-in-two, and hence the only win.
>Steven: EOTWY 14L OW +7 368
#note I assume Steven thought he was blocking my only out. L11 TESTY is the best way to block 12L ARIA, but B6 YEW/YOW is best overall. (-29)
>Alec: AAIR C4 ARIA +7 389
>Alec: (ETY) +12 401
