>Matthew_Larocque: EEHIIOZ 9G OI +9 9
#note I mean, what would you even exchange here? EEHIZ seemed to have enough scoring power to keep me going.
>Emil_Rem: BEI E8 .IBE +18 34
>Matthew_Larocque: EEHIITZ 10H TIZ +35 44
>Emil_Rem: KT I9 K.T +24 58
>Matthew_Larocque: EEEHIQU J10 .EE +14 58
#note I thought the H was a good letter, but maybe it doesn't mesh with QU words or something? Just strange that valuation-wise, playing HIE somewhere ranks way ahead of this. Simulation comes around on (Z)EE, though.
>Emil_Rem: ?AEITUX 7H bAUXITE +68 126
>Matthew_Larocque: EHIQRTU J4 TUQ.E +34 92
#note I've never been comfortable keeping QU racks on purpose, and that didn't change here. I liked how TUQ(U)E sort of minimizes QI plays, but maybe that shouldn't be my goal since I'm about to be behind by a bingo.
>Emil_Rem: DDIY 8L DIDY +43 169
#note Yeah, I'm going to need some help on my rack, or for Emil to start playing lots of phonies. Which could definitely happen.
>Matthew_Larocque: AADHIRR D9 HARD +27 119
#note 12F AIRH(E)AD is cool, but this whole V area is going to be my demise unless I can start building a path around it.
>Emil_Rem: ABJNNO C10 JOAN +40 209
>Emil_Rem: ABJNNO -- -40 169
#note The Emil special, just in time.
>Matthew_Larocque: AILLRRW C10 WAIL +28 147
#note Based on his partial rack, this didn't seem to give him anything to work with, certainly not with the J. S-hook should stay open for the foreseeable future.
>Emil_Rem: ABJNO N2 BANJO.. +38 207
>Emil_Rem: ABJNO -- -38 169
#note Now I just need some help on my rack, and maybe I can turn this one around.
>Matthew_Larocque: ACLRRST 5I C.RL +12 159
>Emil_Rem: ABJNNO K11 ANON +16 185
>Matthew_Larocque: ALPRSST O4 PALS. +27 186
#note I know I'm taking a pretty big point sacrifice, but B10 plays only put me up by like 15, and leave me with little to aim for afterwards. I just felt better keeping WAB open with a leave of RST - I probably beat Emil to the punch more often than not.
>Emil_Rem: BGJRU L12 GRUB +32 217
>Matthew_Larocque: AAOORST 15L .OAT +18 204
#note Or not
>Emil_Rem: FJNOST B6 FONTS +29 246
>Matthew_Larocque: ACFHORS B12 FAH +27 231
#note Quackle are you sure I should lock down columns A and C for the same score? Do I really win 10-15% more often?
>Emil_Rem: DEV A13 DEV +30 276
>Matthew_Larocque: CEGOORS A6 EGO +26 257
#note I have no problem finding GRINCHES, but I guess SCROOGE is a different story. This should be a fatal miss, but maybe I'll find a way to weasel out of this.
>Emil_Rem: EJNO N2 JEON +28 304
#note Seven turns later, Emil cashes in the J.
>Matthew_Larocque: CEORRSS C1 RECROSS +81 338
#note lol
>Emil_Rem: AEEIMNR 1C .EMAINER +83 387
>Emil_Rem: AEEIMNR -- -83 304
#note lol
>Matthew_Larocque: ?LMNOUY 1A NO.M +27 365
#note Find the eight! Also, LO(R)Y. I challenged LO(R)Y like 2 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure my rating could be 2000 and I'd still be challenging fours. I have completely unpredictable word knowledge.
>Emil_Rem: AEEIMNR 2A AM.ER +28 332
>Matthew_Larocque: ?EILUWY 13J s..ELY +28 393
#note Pretty much any word in the top-left corner is better, because it prevents Emil from going out. It also helps to use up the W.
>Emil_Rem: EINP 5C .PINE +14 346
