>Phil_Robertshaw: ACEGRRT -GR +0 0
#note Championship Player marginally prefers CRAG here, but a four ply sim ranks CRAG more or less equally with the change. I gauged that ACERT was such a strong leave with an almost full bag, that a bingo next move was highly likely.
>Joseph_Bennett: ?AEILUZ H7 dUALIZE +100 100
>Phil_Robertshaw: AACEERT 11F AC.ERATE +70 70
#note Championship Player's choice: ACERATE I3. Again extremely marginal.
>Joseph_Bennett: GHLORST I6 GOTH +26 126
>Phil_Robertshaw: EINOQTU L8 QUO.IENT +106 176
#note Championship Player's best move
>Joseph_Bennett: AELRSVW 14J VE.AL +32 158
>Phil_Robertshaw: DEFIINT 13A DEFINIT. +76 252
#note Championship Player's best move. It was almost spelt out...
>Joseph_Bennett: ENRSWXY 12B WEX +54 212
>Phil_Robertshaw: DDIJOOP B10 JO..D +64 316
#note Championship Player's best
>Joseph_Bennett: FGNRSWY 10E NY +26 238
>Phil_Robertshaw: AADILOP 8L .ADI +42 358
#note Championship Player's best. A straightforward choice, with the I a less useful tile to the opponent than the D.
>Joseph_Bennett: CFGIRSW J5 GIF +19 257
>Phil_Robertshaw: AGLOOPR 9C GOOP +19 377
#note Championship Player's best: LOOP K3. All Quackle's top plays are in the K column, but I was keen to inhibit the S(NY) hook with all four S and a blank still unseen. A moderate play with a small amount of risk of a high scoring K play on row 8.
>Joseph_Bennett: CMMORSW 13K W.M +29 286
>Phil_Robertshaw: AEELPRS N2 REPLEA.S +76 453
#note Championship Player's best. It's very marginal with PLEADERS/ACIERATES, the latter of which I had a scintilla of doubt over so didn't chance it.
>Joseph_Bennett: CMOORSU 8A SCUM +43 329
>Phil_Robertshaw: AEINRTY 7M Y. +18 471
#note Championship Player's best. A no-brainer decision from a very useful post-bingo pickup.
>Joseph_Bennett: BHIOORR 3K ROB. +12 341
>Phil_Robertshaw: ABEINRT A1 ATEBRIN. +89 560
#note Championship Player's best. No thinking needed here.
>Joseph_Bennett: AEHIIOR K5 IO +14 355
>Phil_Robertshaw: DEKNRSU 11B .K +16 576
#note Championship Player's best: BURKED 4A. It doesn't rate my fish for another bingo at all, but at this stage of the game I was sniffing a big score.
>Joseph_Bennett: AEHIORS 4L HO. +30 385
>Phil_Robertshaw: DENRSUV C7 V.. +11 587
#note Championship Player's best: DEV 7C. This time, however, the fishing V dump is much more likely to bear fruit and it's a reasonable option.
>Joseph_Bennett: AAEINRS 12H .A +13 398
>Phil_Robertshaw: DELNRSU 4A .LUNDERS +74 661
#note Championship Player's joint best with BUNDLERS. Looking at an unseen pool of AEINRST?, I knew a bingo reply was coming but there was a final amusing twist in the tale...
>Joseph_Bennett: AEINRST 1A .RTESIAN +77 475
#note And thus the game was over, with the final twist being that the second blank was the last tile in the bag and ended up unused on my rack.
>Joseph_Bennett: (?) +0 475
