>Kenji: BEEINW 8G NEWBIE +24 24
>Carl: ??KNOOY J6 KO.O +20 20
#note My third missed bingo of the tournament. I spent about five minutes looking for it. Can you spot it? As it turns out, KOBO sims best anyway.
>Kenji: ILPU 6F PULI. +17 41
>Carl: ??CGNNY H8 .NsiGNCY +92 112
#note sYNCiNG M8 is probably a little better, restricting access to the NE quadrant. I played this very fast, having wasted so much time the previous move.
>Kenji: AI H4 AI. +4 45
>Carl: CEEOSWX 10D COXE. +29 141
#note Best play here is OWSE M6, setting up the X. It works because Kenji will probably bingo elsewhere. #visionsmall
>Kenji: AEG D10 .AGE +14 59
>Carl: ELOQRSW 14B RESOW +40 181
#note SEROW wins the sim instead. I would have thought that slating the R (the first R, at that) would be less dangerous than an S, and harder to parallel besides, but I guess not. Or maybe SEROW is better precisely because it's easier to parallel, taking out the lane. (-1) #strategysmall
>Kenji: TT 13C T.T +12 71
>Carl: AHLNQRU L4 QUAR. +28 209
#note Even though Rs are cheap, it's still better to play QUALE. We still have half the bag to draw, after all. (-3) #leaveevaluationsmall
>Kenji: DEZ 15A ZED +45 116
>Carl: AHILLNR 4D RHIN.L +18 227
#note Quackle tries to outrun with LAH 11C. Not sure how I like that. The sooner Kenji bingos, the sooner he bingos again, and the fewer lanes there are, the less likely that happens. Then again, sometimes the best defense is a good offense. There are plenty of lanes to deal with, and I probably won't get to all of them. Also, notice that RHINAL isn't even that good for defense. It's not too implausible that it could get paralleled with a bingo. (-12) #strategylarge

#note I didn't write down my full rack here.

>Carl: EEHIOPS O1 EH +37 412
>Kenji: GJ E9 J.G +28 303
>Carl: ADIOOSV 10J SAVIO. +26 438
#note How does JO 9E ever win the sim? Like Kenji wouldn't block DISFAVOR. With the tile that was in the bag, SAVIOR comes out on top, but maybe JO is right. (-5?)
