>Jeremy_Hall: DUW 8G WUD +14 14
>Arie_Sinke: EHIJPRT 9F JET +19 19
#note I think this is fine. PEH and exchanging the J or HJ win the sim. However, a human expert opponent will adjust to an exchange 1 and I really hate keeping the J here.
>Jeremy_Hall: AEP 7G APE +23 37
>Arie_Sinke: FHIIMPR 6I FIRM +18 37
#note This looks okay, wins the sim. PHI 6I for four extra points is probably also okay but I'm less keen on hanging onto the F and it sims a bit back.
>Jeremy_Hall: ACDESSU K5 C.USADES +94 131
>Arie_Sinke: ?EHIPQU 12H PHy.IQUE +100 137
#note Only bingo.
>Jeremy_Hall: ANRRW O8 WARR.N +27 158
>Arie_Sinke: BDGHLOZ 10E BOD +27 164
#note This looks fine. A very comparable option is playing GOD instead of BOD. I liked BOD because it scores an extra point and I will often get an easy ZIG/ZAG play underneath it for 47, but the G is a notoriously bad tile and the plays actually sim comparably.
>Jeremy_Hall: AEEILRS N2 REALISE +73 231
>Arie_Sinke: EGHILNZ H12 .HIZ +54 218
#note Best by far.
>Jeremy_Hall: BEINN O1 BENNI +33 264
>Arie_Sinke: ?AEEGLN 14G L.EGEmAN +74 292
#note This is my highest scoring bingo by a margin of four points.
>Jeremy_Hall: EO 11E OE +22 286
>Arie_Sinke: CIMTTTV M1 MITT +24 316
#note Another option that is comparable is the very difficult find of T(APE)T(U)M 7F for 19. It scores 5 less but retains a vowel. The pool is vowel heavy so CTV should usually recover some balance after a draw.
>Jeremy_Hall: FINOR 1H INFOR. +36 322
>Arie_Sinke: CLOTUVV 15M LUV +22 338
#note I briefly contemplated but quickly eschewed the sim winner (bt a slim margin) of LOQUAT M10 for 30, keeping CVV. I would normally give up a lot of points to avoid keeping a leave like CVV, but looking at the situation a bit more closely, I do notice that there is a good chance I draw one of the four unseen As and there are a few decent scoring spots for VAV. I still think my play is the saner choice.
>Jeremy_Hall: AOTY 12C OATY +33 355
>Arie_Sinke: ACORTVY 6B COVARY +34 372
#note I looked at COVARY and VOTARY in the same spot, which score the same. I liked the T better than the V going into a tight endgame, but Quackle disagrees (only by a margin of < 3 points). Quackle also likes OVARY to set up the C, which is an interesting idea but not my style at all to give up those nine points for an uncertain future reward.
>Jeremy_Hall: EGLO D3 GLO.E +18 373
>Arie_Sinke: AIKNSTX 8A KINS +38 410
#note I knew the game was won at this point, but I thought it would pay to block Jeremy's plays like GOOD forming GLOVED. If Quackle's analysis can be relied on that isn't the case and I should just take the points with KITS 13C for 51, also keeping the X to score with next turn.
>Jeremy_Hall: ADEIOOT 13B IDEA +24 397
>Arie_Sinke: AGTX 2J AX +27 437
#note TAXI L9 is actually one spread point better because it blocks Jeremy's highest scoring out of TOO.
>Jeremy_Hall: OOT M8 TOO +10 407
>Jeremy_Hall: (GT) +6 413
