#note See what I mean about drawing those duplicate tiles back? It just kept on happening at Nationals. As for what to do here, I was torn between exchanging and ICIEST. ICIEST sims just a little ahead, with OXIC also in the mix. (-1.5)

>Carl: CHNOQTV -NOQTV +0 76
#note Quackle prefers CHON 9E, keeping the rancid QTV combo, hoping to draw QI M2. As I saw it, that spot probably wouldn't be there next turn. (-6.5)

#note CLOG K10 wins the sim, possibly because it turns over one more tile. I otherwise don't see the upside; maybe there are more 10s through OMA? (-2)

>Carl: ACEOQTT 11C COQ.ET +34 191
#note As soon as I hit my clock, I saw TOQUE, setting up TOQUET. But COQUET sims better anyway. QAT 14J outsims both. (-1)
>Jason_L: AGNSV 13B VANGS +31 273
>Carl: AAJLRTU 6C JURA +19 210
#note I decided it was better to take out Column C than play JURA at 3I with just two Os remaining. Quackle disagrees; the 3I placement is better because it preserves column C while at least allowing the possibility of something parallel to JURA. (-1)
>Jason_L: DDIR D4 DR.ID +18 291
>Carl: AELRSTY 8A LEA.Y +27 237
#note This isn't bad, but plays like YALD/YELD/YARD all sim better, as they make Column A bingos larger and more likely. (-4)

#note In just two turns, my chances have gone from 10% to 95%. Scrabble can be so brutal.
