>Magra: DIIORTY 8H DIRTY +26 26
#note YID is pretty much even
>xp: ADGJMOT 7F OGAM +22 22
#note cheap J setup, couldve played JORAM but was trying to be clever.
>Magra: EIIORUU -IIOUU +0 26
>xp: ADEEJNT 6D TAJ +51 73
#note undeservedly rewarded for cheap J setup
>Magra: ABEIRSX 9B BRAXIES +72 98
>xp: DEEENOR E8 E.ED +24 97
#note OXEN or EXON slightly higher
>Magra: AFLOOSV D1 VOLOS. +26 124
#note I swear to good I didn't play VOLOST just to play it. It just seemed like the best move. but quackle says I should play AVO at 6I which looks right.
>xp: AENOQRR K8 .RANQ +28 125
#note nobrainer
>Magra: AEFGOST 3C F.OTAGES +78 202
>xp: CEEINOR 1C O.ERNICE +89 214
>Magra: DEHMNNW D8 W.NED +40 242
#note I wanted to hold onto the H for greater flexibility - for instance, it fits at 5E. However quackle says just to go for the points.
>xp: ABDISTZ J10 ZA +64 278
#note nobrainer
>Magra: HIKMNOP 5A KNI.H +34 276
#note a further battle to keep the right tiles for next turn. I didn't like any of the Q plays but quackle does. actually QOPH looks great, but IKON sims level with it, to my surprise. I guess there are lots of ways to score next turn. Putting the K in the triple lane actually gives xp more points per turn than any other play anyway.
>xp: BDEILST 13H BILSTED +87 365
>Magra: FIMOPRU 2J FRUMP +54 330
#note FORUM actually didn't occur to me.
>xp: EEHILNO 1M HOE +29 394
#note Ducks like HOI(D)EN N10 for 36 better but i was worried about the unseen blanks
>Magra: AAEIOTW A1 TWEA. +39 369
#note just trying to stay afloat
>xp: CEILNRU L4 CURL. +20 414
#note a wretched play. TWEAKIER for 45. duh. my stee moment. this play almost certainly cost me the game. barf.
>Magra: ??AILOU B8 a.OULIAs +70 439
#note definitely the most important play in the game, and, according to quackle, I screwed it up BIG time. I missed a couple of plays that save both blanks - QUAI or QUAIL. QUAI in particular is devastating, setting up a hook with all of the case letters in hand. My play makes the game a coin flip when I had the option to make myself an 84% favorite.
>xp: AEIINPV N10 VIE. +16 430
#note xp:
i have no idea why i did this.
jd: quackle claims that AVIDIN or VAPID win 1/8. VAPID is incorrect but AVIDIN is the real deal, giving XP PYE to go out for a jillion at the bottom-left. VAPID does block my big play (extension to DIRTYING) but I don't get why quackle thinks it can win.
>Magra: EGINTUY H13 .UY +24 463
#note blocking PIANO
>xp: AINOP A13 APO +24 454
#note sigh, I lose
>Magra: EGINT 8H .....ING +39 502
>xp: IN 12K .I +26 480
#note couldve gone out, wanted to get the higher loss for the fun of it.
>Magra: ET C12 ET +14 516
