>Arie_Sinke: BCEHLMY 8D CHYME +36 36
#note Best I can do.
>Julia_Bogle: FHIN D5 FIN.H +13 13
>Arie_Sinke: BEGILRZ E2 BIZE +40 76
#note Couldn't come up with BEZIL C2 for 39, which looks like a substantial improvement. The L really doesn't help the leave here.
>Julia_Bogle: AADEIRT 7H RADIATE +62 75
>Arie_Sinke: EGLLOPR L6 G.LLOPER +74 150
#note Only bingo.
>Julia_Bogle: KNT N6 K.NT +18 93
>Arie_Sinke: ?AEIILT 14F LAITIEs +71 221
#note Some tough finds are my best options - (RE)ALITIEs H7 for 77 and LIThE(M)IA G3 for 72. This opens up a spot that I don't need to open up and is far from best.
>Julia_Bogle: ERW H12 WE.R +33 126
>Arie_Sinke: EIIORST O8 OI +14 235
#note This is probably best. Just the sort of play that Quackle loves. Only question is whether or not OI is better than LINO 8L for the same score, which is probably an unsolvable question.
>Julia_Bogle: EMN M10 MEN +15 141
>Arie_Sinke: EIORRST 2C OR.ITERS +64 299
#note Another better nine missed - ROISTE(RE)R H1 for 80!
>Julia_Bogle: GJU I4 JUG. +12 153
>Arie_Sinke: EIIOUUX 4I .EUX +36 335
#note ROUX 13L for 34 may or may not be better; Quackle loves it. I guess if I'm going to keep four vowels anyhow, one of them might as well be an E, and the X is the perfect spot to unload a few vowels next turn for a good score if Julia doesn't get to it first. I'm not sure; I like scoring 2 more and not giving back an easy spot for 40ish plays.
>Julia_Bogle: EFOS 1H FOES +40 193
>Arie_Sinke: AIIOUVY 1A IVY +32 367
#note This is fine, no reason to play anything else.
>Julia_Bogle: OPT K10 POT +30 223
>Arie_Sinke: ACDINOU 3A CUD +26 393
#note This is an uninspired, unmotivated, lazy play made very quickly by a player with a 144 point lead who's already looking forward to round 9. It's not terrible but other options are better, including OUD in the same spot (it should be pretty obvious that the improved leave is worth the 4 point sacrifice), C(H)IAO 9C for 29, and ANODIC C9 for 26.
>Julia_Bogle: AQ K3 Q.A +24 247
>Arie_Sinke: AINOORV C9 AVION +24 417
#note This isn't terrible but CORVINA A3 score 15 more points and is clearly far better.
>Julia_Bogle: ADEG A3 .AGED +10 257
>Arie_Sinke: ENOORSW B5 OWE +33 450
#note I figured my odds of bingoing here were basically nil so I might as well score a few more points and keep the O instead of the E. Probably wrong but I don't really know for sure.
>Julia_Bogle: AABL B12 BAAL +18 275
>Arie_Sinke: ?NORSTU 3K .aTS +32 482
#note This is bad. All the best plays (including NOTeR D11 for 25) block SAND.
>Julia_Bogle: ADNS D12 SAND +27 302
>Julia_Bogle: (NORU) +8 310
