#note This is uninspiring but called for.

#note Again, uninspiring but called for.

#note This is best. The points justify breaking up the rack.

#note This is the sim winner. I liked this play; I liked keeping the floaters in MOIRA unobstructed and liked keeping a better leave than the alternatives with EHNT. I thought creating the 2J-N spot without a hook tile for YE was a downside. THEY 7B for 34 is the alternative that I looked into but I thought ABY had enough going for it to be worth it.

#note Only bingo.

#note Best by a clear margin.

>Arie_Sinke: AENOOSS 11I AEONS +29 233
#note Tough turn. I knew I was breaking up a strong rack but I need to keep the points coming. The board is rapidly constricting and I will soon need to be proactive about keeping it alive, but there's no good way to do that on this turn.

>Arie_Sinke: ADEORSW 12I WADE +35 268
#note I thought this was called for because I really need points, and setting up the LAWS hook may be my best path back into the game. I'm less enthusiastic about BOW 8M, which keeps a better leave but only creates openings from the W. Quackle doesn't love this play but I think it may be called for.
>John_Stardom: EGLT D10 GELT +15 337
>Arie_Sinke: EMOPRRS 5J R.M.O +18 286
#note Sadly for me, ROMPERS got blocked just in time. ROMeO is a far better play than any alternative for fairly obvious reasons.
>John_Stardom: AIJNQRU M1 QI +19 356
>Arie_Sinke: EFPRRSS O1 SERFS +43 329
#note This is basically forced. I need to hope I draw the blank and some vowels and that some spots stay open. Any fish like FARM A5 scores so little that I likely can't win even if I bingo.
>John_Stardom: EJ 13B JE. +20 376
>Arie_Sinke: ?EIIIPR 10M .I +4 333
#note This is the only play that could possibly win - it wins if I draw an N. John will block my bingos along column O and I will go out with sPINIER 14D to win by 2.

>Arie_Sinke: ?EIIOPR 14A POt +27 360
#note I'm low on time and don't see a few better alternatives - PRO(J)Et B10 for 40, IcE N1 for 36, and kOP(J)E B10 for 26
