#note anyone plunking (FE)U for 6 instead? Sim likes that most but it can't actually be right against a human

#note HEEZ(E) wins a sim by ~1 but I like the long-term dynamics of this play more

>matt: CEHILQT 7I .ILCH +23 97
#note Really challenging position, especially after he's just played AI for 8 and suggesting he's in all 1-pointer territory. Just how good is his range? Is this smarter than QI/QI and than QI?

shrug

message me about this if you think you know the answer
>t: ?CEIRTU M3 ToUC.IER +76 132
>matt: DEEEOQT 13B DOE +28 125
#note who's playing TOQ(U)E here? not me!

weirdly sim likes TOE over DOE by about half a point. I liked QAT bailouts at 12A if I draw into one of the seven A's.

#note 15 unseen vowels / 15 unseen consonants, so I'm hoarding my consos

sim agrees
>t: OV G1 ..VO +11 269
>matt: ABDIUWY 4D BAY.U +22 293
#note IUY draw; good thing I hoarded my consonants LOL

This felt off over the board and still feels wrong, but I couldn't find anything else do to. U(N)BID? (D)AUBY? W(AXIL)Y? (S)UBWAY?

This wins a sim by about 3
>t: AFO 1A OAF +31 300

#note play the T or set it up with ST? unseen?

#note I am not Mack, and could not solve this one-in-the-bag endgame

I wanted to figure out one-in-one situations if I draw an O and can threaten MYOID? But just didn't see anything.

After I hit the clock and saw this gave (K)OBO back, I knew this was wrong. But can *anything* win?
>t: ABGOOOP 6D BOP +24 387
>matt: ?IMNY 1G ......IsM +33 380
#note MY -> (K)IrN loses by 2; so I take a big swing with my opponent low on time and appearing to have mistracked it...
>t: AGOO - +0 387
#note ...and he challenges...
>matt: NY I1 .NY +10 390
#note AND IT'S GOOD!
