#player1 Karl Karl
#player2 Mack Mack
>Karl: I -I +0 0
#note Karl needs to beat me by 43 to tie and by 44 to win the tournament.
>Mack: IOORTUV H4 VIRTU +24 24
>Karl: AW 6F WA. +14 14
>Mack: AEKNOOU 5D NOOK.E +31 55
>Karl: FILM 4C FILM +32 46
>Mack: AEHRRUZ 3B REZ +46 101
#note This gives back PREZ, but it's simply too large a point sacrifice over 9G REZ.
>Karl: AEINORS J2 ERASION +72 118
>Mack: ABBEHRU 6B HUE +27 128
#note Didn't think NUBBER was good, and eschewed NABBER because of the leave and opening more lanes (remember I'm effectively winning here since Karl needs to beat me by 43). HUE is probably fine over NABBER, but NUBBER is certainly worth it. #knowledgemedium
>Karl: AOTU 2D AUTO +20 138
>Mack: ABBGMRX 1G MAX +40 168
>Karl: EEIQ 8F EQ.I.E +15 153
>Mack: BBGIORT 3I O.BIT +16 184
#note ABBOT seemed too dangerous, and at least this partially blocks the EQUNES hook. There isn't really anything better here.
>Karl: JOST L1 JO.ST +40 193
>Mack: BEGNORS 1L .EON +33 217
#note JOBS is much better equity, but the S seemed really important to keep for the EQUINES hook. Also, the N at O1 is much harder to use than an S for 8s. Even adding +45 to each play (to account for the 43-point head start I have), Quackle strongly prefers JOBS, which I find fairly surprising. #strategysmall?
>Karl: DOPY A1 DOPY +57 250
>Mack: ABGPRSY 7A GAPS +37 254
#note L8 SPRAG is also an option, but I felt it increases Karl's immediate bingo % too much. GAPS sims slightly ahead both with and without the +45 added.
>Karl: DEI 9F DIE +29 279
>Mack: ABERRVY A7 .ARVEY +51 305
>Karl: ?AGIIRT M5 AIRTInG +61 340
>Mack: ?BFILRW K7 F.W +14 319
#note I could do FRIG, but I felt keeping the G open strongly favored me since there are no Is lelft and 3 Ns for me to draw an -ING bingo. Plus, FRIG opens up row 12, which is probably better for Karl than me because of the 3 Es remaining.
>Karl: CHU 12A .UCH +24 364
>Mack: ?BILLNR 11F BuLLRIN. +70 389
#note This loses the tournament only when Karl bingos, which happens about 10% of the time, so I'm winning about 90% here...
>Karl: ADEEENT O1 .EATENED +80 444
#note But Karl was not to be stopped. Congrats Karl!
>Karl: (ACDGLNS) +22 466
