>Jackson: AAEEENN -AEEEN +0 0
>Joey: BEMOSVX 8G VOX +26 26
>Jackson: ABENOOW 7H WO +21 21
#note WO or OXBOW are standard here. WO is more thematic for not losing by a ton... probably. I think the closed board strategy for avoiding 107 point losses is overrated, but not bad. OXBOW sims a point or two ahead
>Joey: BEFMRST 6F FETS +31 57
>Jackson: ABELLNO 5E LOB +19 40
#note LOB does sim close to 6 points better than BALLON, but again, closed board vs. open/turnover/scoring heavy plan.
>Joey: ABJMORT D2 JAMB +38 95
>Jackson: AEEHLMN C3 HE +24 64
#note maybe HM, more defense, HE sims a couple better.
>Joey: COPRRTU 7C CURT +15 110
>Jackson: AAEHLMN B2 HAM +29 93
#note maybe HAMAL. sims a point or two better, but of course is riskier in terms of allowing some bigger scores for Joey. At this point I am not up by a ton.
>Joey: AOPRRTU C7 .ORRUPT +24 134
#note I came awful close to trying CAPTUROR*, then thought better of it.
>Jackson: AAEIILN D12 AI +14 107
>Joey: ADEEGNN 8A AG.NE +26 160
>Jackson: AEFILNY E10 FAY +26 133
#note this sims best, FINELy actually gives back a ton to joey, and at this point I am not up by a ton so that does matter
>Joey: DEIINNS A7 S.NIDINE +60 220
>Jackson: EEILNNV 14D NEVI +18 151
>Joey: ?AEINRZ 11E .tRAZINE +82 302
>Jackson: EEGILNU 2D .EU +12 163
#note in trouble now that he blocked refueling
>Joey: AADERTT 12H DATER +40 342
>Jackson: EEGILNT 8G ...EL +15 178
>Joey: ADIKLQT G13 Q. +21 363
>Jackson: EGIINTW 1A EW +27 205
>Joey: ADIKLST L4 KILTS +37 400
>Jackson: EGGIINT 13L GIT +12 217
>Joey: ?ACDEOU O7 COUvADE +88 488
>Jackson: EGIILNR N13 .I +4 221
>Joey: ADOOOPS 15G SODA +27 515
#note DOPA 15L is best. But all that matters is miracles do happen.
>Jackson: EGILNRY 15L GREY +33 254
#note this was the most painful game of my scrabble career. this might serve as a counter-example to the idea that you close things down to avoid big losses, but I also don't regret any singular play a ton.
