>Alec: DEOOPRT 8H TROOPED +76 76
#note CoCo Seattle Scrabble tournament round 10. Quackle prefers the 74-point bingos, 8F TROOPED and 8G TORPEDO. I can't explain why. However, Jennifer's next play would have scored more than 2 points less after either of Quackle's choices.

>Alec: ?ADILOR K5 tOR.IDAL +82 173
#note Quackle ranks the 2x2's: 1) 5E sOREDIAL#, 2) K4 mODIOLAR#, 3) 5E fORELAID#, 4) K5 tOROIDAL. I decided to play through the O to prevent any 2x2's in response, but 2x2's on row 11 probably should be less of a concern than the scoring spots that my bingo creates. mODIOLAR or tOROIDAL sets up the J and Z at J10 or J6 respectively, while sOREDIAL or fORELAID sets up the X at 6F (fORELAID also sets up the X at 6J). Because the spot under sOREDIAL is hardest to hit---requiring the X and either I or O---it makes sense for sOREDIAL to be best. Though I still don't understand why mODIOLAR should be better than tOROIDAL. #tacticssmall

>Alec: ?AEILRU 11B rURALI.E +64 381
#note I saw the 72-point bingos at 2A, but they all allow 3x3's. 11B rURALISE and RUrALISE have similar valuations and a slight edge in win chance compared to the 2A bingos. RUrALISE performs 1.5 points better than rURALISE; I assumed it wouldn't matter.
>Jennifer_Clinchy: JS 4D J.. +20 345
>Alec: AEINNRY 2B NAN.Y +36 417
#note NANCY > 2A RIANCY#, again because RIANCY allows 3x3's.
>Jennifer_Clinchy: BIMS 1F MIB +28 373
>Alec: EFIMRRU 1A RIFE +34 451
#note RIFE has the best valuation. 1A FUME apparently has the best win chance, but what can I do with the leave IRR?
>Jennifer_Clinchy: EEST B10 T.EE +5 378
>Alec: IMOQRSU D7 SQUI.M +54 505
#note This outruns every available bingo, but the best play is 14B SQUIRM, which blocks more of Jennifer's potential bingos than any other play, leaving only column A open. J4 WAZOO is notable. #strategysmall
