>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AEINORT F9 OTARINE +67 126
#note Jeremy spent 5 mins on JACK so i felt I was playing into a blank 3x3 here.
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: AELSUVY E3 SUAVELY +86 134
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AEENNOU 12C NEU.ONE +16 142
#note Now its my turn to burn 5 minutes. Nothing stands out here so i guess this is fine
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: ?ADDIMO C7 DIAMO.Ds +78 212
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?ADINRT 15D TR.ADINg +77 219
#note took a small sacrifice in case TREADINGS was relevant later
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: AGIV D2 VIGA +26 238
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AILOOOR K3 OLIO +17 236
#note Welp, there was a standout play here and I did not see it, answer next turn
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: EFI L3 FIE +24 262
#note JACKAROO
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ABLNORX B6 BOXLA +42 278
#note The simple NIX is simming ahead of this by ~2-3 or so. BORAL is a fairly potent leave for that B column
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: BEEEPR A10 BEEPER +40 302
#note boxla punished
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ANNRSSU 11H UNS +19 297
#note Looked in the spot but failed to come up with NANUAS tsk. This still sims ahead of it, though, with a surprisingly high bingo%. Jeremy often plays at 13I and opens an S hook for me
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: GM E11 M.G +23 325
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ANRSTWZ 13I WARNS +34 331
#note Guess I misjudged WARNS vs WANTS. I knew the unseen tiles would push me toward WANTS, but with the OFT spot I figured it was important to guarantee I had a T on hand. But WARTS wins the sim here handily
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: Q 3C Q.. +24 349
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: DEGITWZ 14J WE +29 360
#note I guess I botched this. I should just play ZOFTIG and force Jeremy to have a bingo through I or G. WE does not win nearly as much as I thought. I often struggle to get any value out of the Z if he is able to cash the OFT spot without opening a triple
>Jeremy_Hildebrand: EIORSTU M12 U. +2 351
#note ZOFTIG would have lost to ROGUIEST
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: DFGITTZ 3J G..F +22 382
#note Deceptively tight endgame. Seems like I should easily win at first glance, but all my Z plays (M1 ZIT, N10 ZIT/ZIG, 3J ZOFTIG) concede bingos, and if I dont at least threaten big Z plays I can just get outrun. Champ player says only 4 plays win, GOFF/DOFF/TOFF, and G12 OF. All of which force Jeremy to have to block my ZIT play at N10. OF is actually the best endgame because it retains ZOFTIG for when Jeremy plays IRONES/TREADINGS. That sequence wins by 8 and the optimal GOFF sequence barely holds on to win by 4.
