>David_Whitley: EJU 8G JEU +20 20
#note CoCo Seattle Scrabble tournament round 7
>Alec: DELMOTW 9F DOWT +28 28
#note LOWT# has the best equity, but DOWT# is probably better because it saves JOL#. Quackle very slightly prefers 9G OLM#, probably because I keep higher-scoring underlaps; but OLM sacrifices three equity points, and I often don't get to use row 10 anyway.
>David_Whitley: ELO 10F OLE +26 46
>Alec: ELMNOTT 11D MOLT +27 55
#note MOLT has the highest equity, but 11B MOTTLE is best because it is harder to underlap while hooking JOLE, I guess. #tacticssmall
>David_Whitley: CITY 12A CITY +38 84

#note I7 KUTA# is very well hidden. #visionmedium
>David_Whitley: III -III +0 201
>Alec: EIIKPRU 7I P.KI +21 240
#note I think I completely missed the best play, 13I EURIPI. But there are several other plays better than PIKI, including K4 PIU, which scores 9 points less but keeps a much better leave in EIKR. #findinglarge

>Alec: ?CEEPTV (challenge) +5 272
>David_Whitley: AGINOST C2 GITANOS +71 301
>Alec: ?CEEPTV 5B P.VE +18 290
#note I didn't know PAVEN#, which I guess makes VAPE better? But I couldn't have known that VAPE would be better.... Anyway, I chose PAVE because VAPE allows overlaps at 4D that score well and mostly cut off bingo lanes in the top left.
>David_Whitley: EFLU N10 FLU.E +36 337
>Alec: ?ACEEOT 4E OCrEATE +61 351
#note There are five bingos in the position, all at 4E. I chose OCrEATE because it has no S-hook. Quackle prefers ECOTAgE, perhaps because it is hardest to overlap with a bingo, and also perhaps because plays making ECOTAgES often give back bingos? I don't know. #questionable
>David_Whitley: DEHILOU 2A OU.HLIED +80 417
>David_Whitley: ABINNOS (challenge) +5 422
>Alec: ?AEFIRR 1G FAIRiER +94 445
#note #knowledgesmall for the challenge. After either of the six 94-point bingos, David wins 50% of games, whenever he has 3I BAWNS.
>David_Whitley: ABINNOS A1 N.OB +27 449
#note The best endgame is J10 BOARS, A1 WO. (-5)
>Alec: W K4 .W +10 455
