Heylo.
So I was simulating some games from a tournament, and came across this:
Ryan Fischer: Turn 11

15|= ' T ' =|
------------------------------
Now for me, MO(T)IONEd 15F 60 is the best play. Yet Quackle lists a
whole bunch of others, 14F MOLE being the most prominent, among others
with a good leave that don't empty the bag. Is this because the J is
unseen, or something similar? Think about it this way: why play for
26 and hope to draw a bingo on the next turn when it's not a 100%
probability that it'll happen, especially with MOLE closing things up.
With 5 tiles left, why should I care that I empty the bag if I'm
about to pull way ahead with nothing opening up too badly. Toni's
next play was A13 MAW 30.
