>Graeme_Quinn: AINRT 8D TRAIN +12 12
#note Whangarei Round 12
>Chris_Tallman: ALNRSVY C8 SYLVAN +38 38
#note Definitely want to prioritize scoring plays with a big ratings mismatch to lower variance (over plays like NAVY for 18)
>Graeme_Quinn: AAGIN 11C .AGINA +20 32
>Chris_Tallman: CEEGIIK H11 .CKEE +42 80
#note Took a while, wanted to block the easy QI/XI spot with KI (34) as Graeme's never missing that, but decided to continue with my points-first philosophy, and CEEGI isn't that much better than GII as a leave.
>Graeme_Quinn: BJ 12B J.B +32 64
>Chris_Tallman: GHIIORT 10F HI +28 108
#note Although JIG is 4 points better equity-wise to keep a much more synergystic leave, taking out the Q/X bomb spot is definitely the thing I'm doing here.
>Graeme_Quinn: ELOOR 12H .OOLER +16 80
>Chris_Tallman: GIORTVY B12 .IVY +36 144
#note Was pulled towards GROVY (24) through the R in COOLER for defense, but went for points with JIVY, which sims best and obstructs the bingo line at the bottom a bit anyway.
>Graeme_Quinn: AADEH 7F AHEAD +27 107
>Chris_Tallman: GORTTWX 15A G.RO +27 171
#note Considered WOX under COOLER to block a bunch of the lines, but decided that the GRTT leave could give me some bad racks next turn, whereas I could likely score with the X next turn if I kept it. GYRO sets up a spot to score with it if I draw any vowel.
>Graeme_Quinn: ADEM 6F MADE +36 143
>Chris_Tallman: APTTUWX 14D WAX +34 205
#note Could play PAW (29) overlapping COOLER and keep TUX for next turn atop GYRO or with TEA, but just decided to cash it now for a few more points as the PUTT leave seemed okay enough.
>Graeme_Quinn: AS 13F AS. +17 160
>Chris_Tallman: FMNPTTU M11 F.UMP +24 229
>Graeme_Quinn: OW 15M .OW +24 184
>Chris_Tallman: ?LNTTUZ 5I LUZ +27 256
#note Kept the second T to avoid giving easy scores through the Z of LUTZ, given that the board is difficult to score on.
>Graeme_Quinn: IIIII -5 +0 184
>Chris_Tallman: ??ENTTT 9H ToTiENT +61 317
#note Quite the draw. I kind of didn't want to bingo for 61 - if I'd seen TAN/TASK/GYRON for 20 I'd have likely done that. I also failed to see TONETTE, which would have avoided giving back the big spot above TOTIENT. I think I should've spent longer on this turn.
>Graeme_Quinn: BEET 8L BEET +38 222
>Chris_Tallman: CIILOQS 4H QI +25 342
>Graeme_Quinn: EOPS 14J POE.S +34 256
>Chris_Tallman: CGIILNO H1 CIN. +45 387
#note If ILEA was ILIA COILING would fit, I remember thinking.
>Graeme_Quinn: EF N6 FE.. +15 271
>Chris_Tallman: EGIILOU M2 GUILE +17 404
#note Chickened out of OUGLIE, should have reasoned that I knew OUGLIES and would've known OUGLY if it was good.
>Graeme_Quinn: DINRS O2 RINDS +13 284
>Chris_Tallman: EIOORRT 8A RE...... +24 428
>Graeme_Quinn: DOU A5 DOU. +5 289
