>Arie_Sinke: ?FGINOT 8H aNTIFOG +78 78
#note FoOTING, lOFTING, or aNTIFOG. Not much to choose from between the three. Quackle seems to really love FOoTING, probably because it gets hit with fewer eights.
>Lilla_Sinanan: AJ N6 JA. +27 27
>Arie_Sinke: IMOOPRY O3 PYRO +22 100
#note This play is not particularly good. I can optimize leave with OY O6 for 19 (my best option) or optimize immediate scoring with PIMA 7K for 27 (my second best option). Trying to compromise falls a few points back.
>Lilla_Sinanan: ADEI 7G IDEA +14 41
>Arie_Sinke: ACEIKMO 6J KOA +34 134
#note I was oblivious to KOI here, which is a slight improvement. Most leaves are a bit better when you trade out a I for a A and this one is no exception.
>Lilla_Sinanan: EH M7 H.E +20 61
>Arie_Sinke: BCEHIMS 5I MIB +30 164
#note I saw CHIMB but convinced myself that I was misremembering it. It's a significantly better play.
>Lilla_Sinanan: AEELLTV 10H ANULOSE +68 129
>Lilla_Sinanan: AEELLTV -- -68 61
>Arie_Sinke: CEHIIPS 3L CHI. +22 186
#note This looks like my best option; nothing else worth considering.
>Lilla_Sinanan: LU I3 LU. +6 67
>Arie_Sinke: DEIPRSU 2E SIRUPED +72 258
#note This may or may not be better than playing something comparable for fewer points with HOES. I'm giving back a lot but also giving back a lot to myself. This scores more, so when in doubt take the points.
>Lilla_Sinanan: EINOS 1A NOISE +20 87
>Arie_Sinke: AAGINVV 1K AVIAN +39 297
#note This is correct because it scores far more than anything else.
>Lilla_Sinanan: ?ADDEOT 10G TOADiED +70 157
>Arie_Sinke: EEGSTUV 6E VUG +12 309
#note This is right. It is meh but right. Spending the S for a few cheap points is almost certainly wrong here.
>Lilla_Sinanan: EF 2A EF +22 179
>Arie_Sinke: EEQRSTY 11H YEET +26 335
#note I don't really love exchanging here; I need to keep scoring to ensure that I can outrun two bingos and a bunch of vowel draws will bail the Q out. It does appear, though, that TREY 11E for 21 is a bit better than YEET. Maybe. I really like the way YEET kills the southern part of the board in a way that TREY doesn't.
>Lilla_Sinanan: EGIR E4 GI.ER +18 197
>Arie_Sinke: ABEMQRS H1 Q.A +38 373
#note I got the bailout I needed.
>Lilla_Sinanan: EOTX 8A OXTE. +39 236
>Arie_Sinke: BCEMORS B6 BO.ER +22 395
#note This is defensive, taking out threats like OXAZINES, but potentially too paranoid. Maybe just BECOME D7.
>Lilla_Sinanan: LW A7 L.W +13 249
>Arie_Sinke: ACMNSTW 11B SWAM +33 428
#note This is fine.
>Lilla_Sinanan: AEORTUZ C11 .UZ +30 279
>Arie_Sinke: CLLNNRT D8 .CL.T +18 446
#note Tough draw - this is the best I can do.
>Lilla_Sinanan: AENORST 4A ORAN.ES +18 297
>Arie_Sinke: ILNNR F11 INN +13 459
#note It's a technicality, but this is an endgame error. INN allows EFT 2A for 8, whereas if I play RANI C3 she can only go out for 5, so RANI is a 2 point improvement. In a closer game these nuances can matter.
>Lilla_Sinanan: T C3 T. +4 301
>Lilla_Sinanan: (LR) +4 305
