#note Not worth it to keep an extra vowel. If I were to keep one, keep the I instead. (-1.5)

#note Quackle marginally prefers the 11E placement. (-2)

#note Or bELEAPED, which I didn't see.

>Carl: AEGLOQU 14K QUAG +41 405
#note I'm in a dominating position, but there are still ways to lose. Here, I decided it was better to play off a G with two more unseen. Quackle plays EQUAL A5, taking out a big lane. (-2.5)
>Andy: AHJ 13M HAJ +39 294
>Carl: EFGLOTW 1B .OWLEG +16 421
#note My strategy here was to take out the 3x3, and then score well with the F next turn. Quackle hates this play and plays the more straightforward FOWL 12K. (-28)
>Andy: AKOTY 13C TOK.Y +32 326
>Carl: AFLMNNT 12H FLAN +26 447
#note This isn't too bad, but I missed the clear winner: FANTOM 9B. (-2.5)
>Andy: BEIOT A4 BOITE +40 366
>Carl: GIMNOOT 14A TOOM +18 465
#note Clarity of mind is a big problem for me, especially as the evening wears on and fatigue sets in. I spent forever just sort of staring at this position, not knowing what to do. The right play is MONGO 10K, devaluing column L. There are no bingos possible, and I'm more likely to play out after MONGO than TOOM. (-20)
