>Alice_Van_Leunen: AHTW 8F THAW +20 20
#note G5, Portland WGPO 1day, 11/14/21. Neither I nor Alice seemed to remember what happened in our one previous tournament game. Based on Alice's comments during this turn, I think she chickened out of a word here.
>Noah: IIPRUUY -IIUUY +0 0
#note Sim solidly prefers PIU, and has this close with PYURIA and some other exchanges. I think I might still just prefer this? Maybe some of the advantage of PIU is that it blocks row 7 overlaps. I think I might be better off an opener board against Alice, though.

#note Also considered CRUX, but this play seemed better defensively.

#note Hm, NUMNAH is nice, and I didn't see that. This seems OK, but it seems like I'm better off playing NUMNAH.

#note Z is a little worrisome here, so I also considered NULL 13L.

>Alice_Van_Leunen: DEGL -- -21 229
#note I think Alice said she was considering GELD, but then noticed the number of Ls left in the pool (maybe she hadn't tracked UNSELL yet), and changed to this.

#note idk. I was thinking about drawing into CREATIVE / CURATIVE here.

#note OW is equal on Quackle valuation, but I think it might be better -- it seems like the best endgame after OW is more likely to elude Alice (probably me as well, though).
