>Mark_Francillon: AOQRU -- -48 0
#note Labor Day Oregon Coast Open 2022, round 2. If the plural of FORUM is FORA, then what is the plural of QUORUM?
>Alec: BDEGHIT 8G BEDIGHT +86 86
>Mark_Francillon: AOQRU 7J QUA +31 31
>Alec: EIORSSU N2 SERIOUS +83 169
#note The sim slightly prefers N8 SERIOUS. Knowing Mark has OR, I chose N2 SERIOUS to avoid high scoring ?RO? plays at O12.
>Mark_Francillon: FORX O1 FOX +50 81
>Alec: EGHIOTU 9B TOUGHIE +70 239
>Mark_Francillon: AAR E8 A.AR +10 91
>Alec: CDEILLO 4G COLLIDE. +74 313
>Mark_Francillon: ?ALNRTU 10H NATURaL +63 154
#note Mark's highest-scoring bingos, B2 RUTiLANT (68) and D3 UNARTfUL (67), would have blocked my next play.
>Alec: INNOPRT C7 TR.PONIN +72 385
#note The first two of four personal records I set or tied in this game: most consecutive bingos (5) and most consecutive opening bingos (5).
>Mark_Francillon: EEIJVY 15A JEE +41 195
>Mark_Francillon: EEIJVY -- -41 154
#note M1 JIVE (57) would have left the phony E-hook open. And given my history (see https://www.cross-tables.com/annotated.php?u=33072), I probably would have tried it.
>Alec: AABEGLY M3 Y.A +40 425
#note The sim prefers 11I BAGEL, with B11 BAGEL close behind; these both save YEA. Why they sim 25 points ahead of YEA is beyond me. YEA easily has the best equity and saves BAGEL in two spots that score almost the same, while the next-best spot for AY after either BAGEL scores 25 or 28. #questionable
>Mark_Francillon: EEIJVY 12A VI.Y +28 182
#note YEA is better than BAGEL because it blocks M1 JIVE. Kappa
>Alec: AABEEGL 11I BAGEL +31 456
#note I realized after I played this that I missed A10 LAVAGE, which both I and the sim prefer over BAGEL. The equity play, A12 VEGA, performs equally with LAVAGE. #strategysmall
>Mark_Francillon: EEJO J2 JO. +26 208
>Alec: ?AEEEIM K2 AM.E +25 481
>Mark_Francillon: DEEMN 12L MEND +30 238
#note 8A DERMA!
>Alec: ?EEIKPS 15A PESKIEr +112 593
#note Most bingos (6). Chosen over mISKEEP because plays at H12 score a lot, especially Z??S. But if I want to score 700+, I should play mISKEEP for that very reason. The sim prefers mISKEEP. #questionable
>Mark_Francillon: CEIIRST 14G ERISTIC +62 300
#note mISKEEP would not have allowed a bingo, but H12 CITS# would have scored 66.
>Alec: AEFRTVW F12 WAV. +39 632
>Mark_Francillon: ANNOOWZ H1 WAZ.O +51 351
>Alec: DEEFRT 6L FR.E +23 655
#note High score (655). O12 DEFT is best for score, but FROE is optimal for spread.
>Mark_Francillon: NNO 2E NON. +6 357
#note 1F NOWN# (-1)
>Mark_Francillon: (DET) +8 365
