>New_Player_1: AABOPTX 6D TAXO. +28 28
#note TEABOX is best. -6
>Quackle: AEIKRRS 10H SARKIER +76 104
#note Maybe Dustin didn't know KERRIAS? I was very surprised by this play.
>New_Player_1: ABEHOPT 5E HOP. +41 69
#note BOHEA is slightly better. -1
>Quackle: OUY 9M YOU +21 125
>New_Player_1: ABEGITU 4D GAB +30 99
#note Q likes GUV best. Makes sense. I did not see HABITUE, which sims about the same as GAB. -4

>New_Player_1: ?EEIIOU 12B OU.IE +5 150
#note Dustin was doing a good job of closing the board down, and Q agrees that this is better than exchanging. I just felt lucky that the R was still open to bail me out.
>Quackle: NTTY 11C N.TTY +24 230
>New_Player_1: ?AEINST 9C A. +6 156
#note Unfortunately, I did not know VIATICA. I played AH hoping for a T or S for TENORISTS/JEFES. When I drew another A to replace the one I had just played, I figured it was game over.
>Quackle: DGIOORS B3 GOODSIR +69 299
>Quackle: DGIOORS -- -69 230
#note With just one O unseen, playing DO/DAH probably wins the game for Dustin. Q prefers scoring with JO/PUNKIER, but that assumes perfect word knowledge, and we've already established that I don't know VIATICA. Phoneying, of course, gives me the best chance of winning.
>New_Player_1: ?AEINST B4 rETAINS +66 222
#note I played around for this for a while. Having full knowledge of Dustin's rack, this seems fine. He could play DO or GIDS, but neither of those is going to do much damage.
>Quackle: DGIOORS 13I GOR +28 258
#note I am actually a little surprised that playing here sims best. The scoring opportunies for me along the triple seem almost inevitable.
>New_Player_1: ?AABEFM A5 BEAM +44 266
#note Missed FlAMBEAU. Not upset about that. I prefer my play over ABEAM, given the consonant-heavy pool (just AEEI since I know Dustin has another O and I). But Q still thinks the extra 8 points is worth ... 8 points of valuation.
>Quackle: ADIOSW I9 W.D +20 278
#note Q says take the points and play OW/JOW or DOW. I agree. DOW seems safer, given that there is still an S and blank unseen.
>New_Player_1: ?AAFNQV I3 Q. +21 287
#note Last time I'll mention VIATICA. FAVA sims best here.
>Quackle: ILLOS 7K .ILL +7 285
>New_Player_1: ?AAFNRV O8 N. +6 293
#note Felt like I had to do this. Didn't want to burn the blank for FAVs. Plus I can still play FAV at 13M for a better score without opening much, if he doesn't block.
>Quackle: DDIS 13M DID +16 301
>New_Player_1: ?AAFORV M2 VA. +16 309
>Quackle: EGLOS 2J GLO.E +26 327
#note Dustin went over here. But we were using Brandon's clock, and it was in chess mode. So Josh came over to keep track of whether Dustin was going to lose more than a 10 point penalty.
>New_Player_1: ?AFLORS 1F FLORA +27 336
#note Q insists pROFS/GLOVER sims 29.8, compared to 16.4 for FLORA. I have no idea what Dustin is going to play, but SIZE doesn't win for him, even without any time penalty. FLORA doesn't even show up in Quackle. pROF, FRAiLS, and pretty much anything else with GLOVER sims above FLORA.
>Quackle: EMRSTZ N12 S.ZE +41 368
#note Sims best, but still loses by 3 before his time penalty. SEZ and REZ with GLOVE give him a 23 point lead, but still leaves the M on his rack, and I can easily play JEFES/SI? to win out.
