>Richard: ADIPR 8H RAPID +20 20

#note NOOOOOOO!!! EPIGEOUS (-46)

#note Scored as 47 (-1)

#note C12 OM is best. (-7)
>Richard: JU G9 J.U +18 205
>Carl: AENRSTU 5G SAUNTER +67 242
#note I saw the 5B placement but figured this would make the board easier to control. (-7?)

>Carl: BCNNOSZ 15H .NCON +8 333
#note Quackle plays EBON 14H, which accomplishes the same thing and scores more. My play has the benefit of retaining BIZ for next turn. Another option is SNOB N11. (-4)
>Richard: INW 14D WIN +12 269
>Carl: BCDGSVZ H4 Z. +21 354
#note Once again, I show that I have no sense of strategy at all. My theory here was that if I exchange 5 and then draw the Q, I'll be stuck with it. I won't get stuck with the V because of NAV or VIN. ZA scores points whereas exchanging doesn't. If Richard has a miracle bingo on Column N, he's going to be Q-stuck. He probably didn't have the Q when he played WIN, else QI F12. Quackle exchanges BCDGV and says it's no contest at all. (-28.5)
>Richard: E D14 .E +6 275
>Carl: BCDGSTV I7 ..V +9 363
#note BED 15C wins the sim, but I don't understand. Let him bingo and draw the Q. (Unbeknownst to me, he already has the Q and is drawing to some SQ word at N5.) (-12?)
>Richard: I J11 .I. +6 281
>Carl: BCEGRST M3 BE.GS +25 388
#note Quackle says that keeping the S and not emptying the bag is right, but I didn't want him to fish 1 with something like AB 2I and have an unblockable out bingo in two spots.
>Richard: ?EIQRSU N2 QI +26 307
>Carl: ACDLNOT O3 OCTAD +16 404
#note Quackle screws this endgame up with DALTON. But then Richard can stick me with EcO K13.
>Richard: ?ERSU 8N US +33 340
>Carl: LN F12 L..N +4 408
>Carl: (?ER) +4 412
