Are you being a little overANALytical?  There is bound to be error in an 
solution set.  Go outside and chase the squirrels or something.

Quackle is not god.

      Toward the end of a game, I thought I had made a play that shut down the 
last bingo lane and assured a win. When I load the position into Quackle and 
ask Championship Player about the situation, it suggests a few different moves 
with a 100% win but not the move that I chose. When I specifically enter that 
move and then simulate, the moves that Quackle had suggested show up as winning 
100% of the time, and the move that I chose shows up as winning 99.96% of the 
time.



For the life of me, I can't figure out what could happen in that 0.04% of the 
situations. There was only 1 tile in the bag at the time, so I've tried all of 
my opponent's possible racks, and nothing turns up that is a win.



Is there any way to get at the information that Quackle uses during a 
simulation, so that I could either determine that a mistake was made on 
Quackle's part (and that my move was a sure thing) or find out just what 
terrific move my opponent may have had?



Thx in advance.



PS: ideally, I'd like Quackle to say "Great move, but you missed the remote 
possibility of your opponent's disconnected thirteen here". On a related note, 
in a previous post, I thought it would also be useful to show where moves 
played, so that I could see, for example, that 75% of my opponent's responses 
to my move use a hook that I had opened up or a hot-spot that I had created or 
a spot I didn't block.
