>Carl: UUU -UUU +0 0
>Alec: AGIKNTT 8D KIANG +30 30
#note 8G TAKING has the best equity. I was leery of giving up an extra bingo lane, easier sevens lanes, and a chance to hook TAKING while using a DWS, which is why I chose KIANG; but I should also be concerned with keeping two T's. #strategysmall
>Carl: AEMPRV E4 VAMP.ER +28 28
>Alec: DJLNTTZ -DJLNTT +0 30
#note It is apparently better to keep DN or NZ. #strategysmall
>Carl: UX F5 XU +26 54
>Alec: CEELSWZ D5 WE +23 53
#note Quackle prefers G3 ZEE, likely because it sets up H1 CLAWS if I draw an A. But I leave only consonants, and I don't have much scoring potential if Carl plays at H1 or if I don't draw an A. WE keeps a vowel and sets up 7C ZEP.

#note I9 BAYOU. #findingmedium

>Alec: AAHOOOR O13 OHO +21 207
>Carl: ETV O4 VET +12 240
>Alec: AAEMORR 11F ARM +25 232
#note I considered M3 REMORA but missed ARMORER in the same spot. #findingmedium
>Carl: JW 9M J.W +21 261
>Alec: AEIOORR 8M A.E +34 266
#note It took me an embarrassingly long time to find this play.
>Carl: BGIN 15K BING. +9 270
>Alec: CIIOORR O1 COR... +33 299
>Carl: DET H11 ..TED +24 294
>Alec: IIILLOR 14D OILI.R +8 307
#note This has the best equity, but Quackle overwhelmingly prefers exchanging, keeping only the R--though I am ahead, I am less than 50% to win, so I should preserve the lanes on rows 14 and 15. #tacticsmedium
>Carl: DFIN 15A FIND +35 329
#note I think Carl said I blocked a bingo, but I forget what it was.
>Alec: AEGILST 4C LA. +24 331
#note Quackle goes haywire in the pre-endgame, but 4C TAV appears to have the best win chance. 7C GAP has the best equity as well as a better win chance than LAV. #strategysmall
>Carl: ?AEIISS 14A IS +13 342
#note Carl mentioned that he had ASEISmIC postmortem. He thought it might be ASEISMAL* or something. MALAISES has no anagrams.
>Alec: DEEGIST 3H DIGESTE. +72 403
#note Two bad plays in my previous turns, plus Carl missing ASEISmIC, won me the game. When I played this, Carl said, "That hurts."
>Carl: ?AEEIQS H1 QA.IS +48 390
#note I blocked 3H QuEASIER!
>Alec: NU J1 NU. +6 409
>Alec: (?EE) +4 413
#note 2100+ is cheap.
