Elise Game Recap

One of Elise's odder moves in this game is BYRe J12, spending the blank for a 35 point move. This is largely because this tournament is only running at 3-ply simulation; this isn't the move Elise favors in deeper-ply simulation. Indeed, deeper simulation prefers simply BY J12, or if the blank is to be spent, LIBeRTY D6 -- but given that win probability estimates have Elise as the 12-to-1 favorite after this play, it is a minor point.

Towards the end of the game, Elise and Scrabble Companion both make some very good "little moves".

Game 8 in a series against Scrabble Companion; SC given advantage of first move. Elise leads 7 to 1.
