How would the next couple of turns have played out if you had played SEIF in row 7 on your third turn? My gut instinct from watching this series is that BestBot would have played SEIF in row 7 rather than row 9. Is there any way to feed BestBot a position that you have artificially created, and find out what it would play?
I don't think so, unfortunately, though I imagine BestBot would've bingoed with FETTErED from the F in SEIF as it scores considerably more than TwEETED and partially blocks the SEIFS hook. CASEASE wouldn't play on the right because of EE*, so I'd have played it with FOGIES, then who knows! That's what's cool (and also kind of annoying) about Scrabble -- if it isn't the endgame, you can never really know what would've happened if you had done something else instead.
The absurd things happening is why I believe the draws are random Randomness is truely random, and absurd things happen all the time, so if absurd draws weren't a common occurrence it would be weird
I'm at 3:56 and I already absolutely hate how closed this board is becoming. VOCAB from the bot pretty much closed the entire first quadrant unless you reopened it by ending a longer word with S forming FOGIES. I think you need to be careful not to close the board too much too early. After the bot plays HID it's critical you actively try to open the board as it's getting critically closed.

Lol yeah that didn't age very well

Obviously, aliunde is the unideal play.

Coulda been different if SEIF was played for the S hook to the triple
Tough luck, Mack.
I'm still not convinced these draws are truly random. Absolutely absurd.

One of these players is cheating.
