>James_Donnelly: EENORRT 8H ERR +6 6
#note WORD CUP ROUND 1 - probably just 8H ER is fine here.
>John_Scalzo: FW H7 F.W +9 9
>James_Donnelly: AACENOR I6 CA.ER +21 27
#note Quackle suggests I7 A(R)E since, after CA(R)ER, you kind of need an S to do anything.
>John_Scalzo: EN 9H ..EN +9 18
>James_Donnelly: AGJNNOP 6I .APON +11 38
#note Simply (C)AJON here.
>John_Scalzo: IQU M3 QUI. +26 44
>James_Donnelly: DEGJNTX 4K JE.X +36 74
>John_Scalzo: ASY 7K AYS +31 75
>James_Donnelly: DGIINOT N2 NI. +31 105
#note Should probably be TI(X) here instead since more T's are unseen. Also I keep -ING for extension plays on this closed board.
>John_Scalzo: BSU O1 BUS +29 104
>James_Donnelly: CDGHIOT K9 .OTCH +20 125
#note Quackle slightly prefers (N)IGHT in the same spot (maybe DGI is that bad of a leave). Not huge difference between the two plays tho.
>John_Scalzo: EITV 12H EVI.T +22 126
>James_Donnelly: DDEFGIY 13C FIDGED +29 154
#note Wow missed (QUINS)Y, 8M YID or H11 D(E)IFY are best here.
>John_Scalzo: ?EIKLTT 11B KITTLEr +73 199
#note Overscored as 74
>James_Donnelly: AGLTVYZ H11 ...LY +24 178
#note 8M YAG or 13K HAZY are much better. Can't keep the board closed when I'm behind. Overscored as 27

>John_Scalzo: ILNNRRT - +0 221
#note Exchange 6
>James_Donnelly: ELMMNNV -LMMNV +0 236
#note 14L MEN or 12L MEM are too dangerous for my liking. Quackle like holding EMN or ELM on the exchange, possibly for hitting -LY bingos to the Y since it usually goes unblocked. I wanted to exchange more tiles to try and draw a blank or S, both of which are pretty crucial on this board.
>John_Scalzo: ILNORRT - +0 221
#note Exchange 6
>James_Donnelly: EINNORS 14L NO +10 246
#note Now holding an S, I can afford to be a little more defensive and play L10 NO(TA) for 2 less. Even if John plays (DAB)S, I'll still have the inferior (THAW)S hook to play with.
>John_Scalzo: ILNORRT 15M NIL +15 236
>James_Donnelly: AAEINRS 7C .A +18 264
>John_Scalzo: EORRSTV - +0 236
#note Exchange 6
>James_Donnelly: AEIINRS 10K .I +2 266
#note I underestimated the power of a 2-tile fish here. 14E AI scores a lot more and still keeps well.
>John_Scalzo: EM 14L ..ME +22 258
>James_Donnelly: AEIMNRS 15A SEMINAR. +92 358
>John_Scalzo: ?AHLOOU 14A OH +22 280
>James_Donnelly: AELOSUV E4 VAUS +26 384
#note I thought the floaters in E3 UVEAS were dangerous, but Quackle seems to like it more.
>John_Scalzo: P 6E .P +10 290
>James_Donnelly: DEELOOR 4D O.ERDO +24 408
>John_Scalzo: ?AGIORT H1 GOA. +18 308
>James_Donnelly: EL M9 EL +6 414
#note 10I (R)E(OI)L is 6 points more, but i was pretty low on time at this point.
>James_Donnelly: (IRT?) +6 420
