>Will: BEJLNRW 8G JEW +26 26
#note Will: Hmm, I almost did BENJ and Quackle ever so slightly prefers it, but not for the reason I would expect (allowing fewer bingos) - it actually allows more bingos than JEW (24% to 19%), but almost equivalent average scores, which I think suggests that JEW is easier to overlap for solid scores on non-bingo turns. Even the leftmost placement of BENJ, which certainly looks like it would be hard to play sevens against, yields more bingos than JEW. BENJ then outperforms JEW on my own next turn by several points thanks to the more flexible leave. #tacticssmall
>jvc: ADEEIKL 9F KADE +30 30
#note jvc: Chickened out of G8 (J)ADELIKE. And that's the GAME. #KNOWLEDGESADDEST
>Will: BIILNRT 10E LIB +27 53
>jvc: AEEILNY 11C YEAN +25 55
>Will: EINQRRT -QR +0 53
#note Will: I wondered about 10A QIN or doing some other row 12 overlap holding the Q; but Quackle prefers my exchange. The row 10 and 12 bingo lines aren't great, but they're something, and the -ED on column H works pretty well with EINRT as well.
>jvc: EEGILOU 7I EUOI +12 67
#note jvc: I think this is okay after an exchange 2. There are no ending S hooks on the board.
>Will: EEIINRT K4 ERI.NITE +82 135
>jvc: ADEGILV 12A VIED +35 102
>Will: ?EFNOTX 6J X. +50 185
#note Will: Thought about 13B OX and L2 FOX for a couple minutes; shedding the F does in fact increase my bingo% quite a bit. It's close. XI sims best, but the bingo% and avg. score numbers are pretty strong for FOX, so strong that I'm not sure why it's simming below XI.
>jvc: AADGLRT 12F GLAD +16 118
#note jvc: L1 GLAD is best equity, but 12F GLAD bings more.
>Will: ?EFGNOT H11 G.NOF +27 212
#note Will: Putting the T in space with FAGOT instead of the F with GANOF yields an extra 3% bingo to Josh.
>jvc: AABRTWY L11 WARBY +39 157
>Will: ?ENPRRT 4E RePENT.R +70 282
>jvc: AHLOSST 8K .OAHS +30 187
#note jvc: Need to play aggressive here.
>Will: AEEFGOU A10 FO.EAE +36 318
>jvc: LMOORST H1 MOL. +18 205
>Will: ?GOTUVZ 15L .UTZ +48 366
#note Will: ZOBUS for 70 available here but YUTZ holding the blank with a pretty solid unseen pool is still really strong.
>jvc: EORSSTU 14C OESTR.US +62 267
#note jvc: Went with this to keep stuff open but missed O1 TUSSORE(S) #findinglarge
>Will: ?CGNOSV N7 C.OG +14 380
#note Will: Considered M1 GOVS/VOGS and 2G CONVO as well and decided to block the S, which seemed the easiest spot for Josh to hit, and gunning for the O instead with my blank.
>jvc: AADIMNO B9 MA +13 280
#note jvc: Only one A left and no Os, so why not.
>Will: ?CEINSV 2G C.NVIvES +90 470
>jvc: ADINOPT C3 PINTADO +79 359
#note jvc: #knowledgesmall for the challenge
>Will: AIILQRU (challenge) +5 475
>jvc: HT 9M H.T +21 380
>Will: AIILQRU 8A QA.I +50 525
