The clue

One you crown, one you sacrifice — both leave the board eventually.

The rack

Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.

A1N14K11I9N14N14A1I9N14P16W23O15G7A1L12O15A1I9

The answer

2 words, hitting 95 exactly: KING + PAWN.

K11I9N14G7= 41
+P16A1W23N14= 54

KING 41 + PAWN 54 = 95. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.

A new puzzle every day.
