#4 Score at the end of the game

[Eric Smith]

When either player runs out of letters, the other player (the
one that still has letters) should have the points that remain
on his rack removed from his score, and those points are
added to the score of the person that got rid of all of their
letters.
The behavior in Quixotic is that when either player uses up all
of their letters, they both get the points taken off of their
score.

the comments from Eric aren't quite right, here's a bit from the rules
(fair use):

'The game ends when all letters have been drawn and one players uses
his/her last letter or when all possible plays have been made.' In tourney
rules the second clause becomes 'There are six successive scores of zero
resulting from passes, exchanges or challenges and the cumulative game
score is not zero-zero.'

Classic rules are:
- When the game ends each player's score is reduced by the sum of his/
her unplayed letters. Also, if a player used all letters, the sum of the
other player's unplayed letters is added to that player's score.

Scrabble association tourney rules are thus:
- If you go out, increase your score by double the total value of the
unplayed tiles on your opponent's rack. Her score does not change.

- If the game ends with neither player going out, each player reduces her
score by the total value of the tiles remaining on her rack.
