>Evans_Clinchy: ABEIMNR -B +0 0
#note I love trading one to open and do it whenever it's anywhere close to correct. The MAINER# stem bingos with any of CDFGHKLOPRSTVW, or 49 of the 93 unseen tiles. That's good enough for me to take a shot. The sim thinks it's a close call -- MBIRA, BREAM, BARMIE and the exchange are all within 1-2 points of each other. What would you do?
>Karl_Higby: EFIRX 8H REFIX +46 46
>Evans_Clinchy: AEIIMNR 7H AMI +22 22
#note AIMER 7I sims well, but it didn't feel right to me. I'm already playing from behind, so why muck up the board?
>Karl_Higby: EEEILSS L7 E.ILES +26 72
>Evans_Clinchy: EIILNOR 12G LIONI.ER +59 81

>Karl_Higby: FK 11K K.F +37 137
>Evans_Clinchy: EEGLNTY 13M YE +30 122
#note Sims even with YET 13I to unload an extra consonant. The board's not great, so I'll lean toward taking the points.
>Karl_Higby: BEORW 6F BOWER +37 174
>Evans_Clinchy: AEGLNTV M3 GAVEL +23 145
#note Sim likes dinking away the V with REV N12. My gut said the board wasn't quite bingo-friendly enough to justify that. In hindsight, I may have been wrong about this. Sim says I'm bingoing over 62 percent after REV. Not bad at all.

>Karl_Higby: GI B6 GI.. +10 238
>Evans_Clinchy: CDDIITV F6 .ID.D +13 257
#note Just trying to score without giving anything back. I missed a couple better options here, most notably IDENTIC D6.

>Karl_Higby: AZ 5E ZA +32 291
>Evans_Clinchy: ?DHORSW 13I HOD +30 385
#note SHOD sims better than HOD. I figured with the case S and blank in hand, I could make a spread play by opening for a bingo here.
>Karl_Higby: AG G4 AG. +17 308
>Evans_Clinchy: ?ARSTUW 3A oUTWARS +76 461
>Karl_Higby: AIMNOOT A1 TO.M +24 332
>Evans_Clinchy: ABEORY 13C YERBA +25 486
#note Sloppy. Best is YEA 13E, keeping ROB 14H to go out next turn.
