#note Several plays are about equivalent here. In a game situation I ought to go for the one that sets up a phoney hook.
>Mad_Palazzo: AEHT 1A TEA.H +30 162
>Arie_Sinke: GGNOQST G7 T.G +21 223
#note With 6 I's out I am confident about keeping QS. Sim concurs.

>Mad_Palazzo: AF 14F FA +31 214
>Arie_Sinke: ILNOOQS 15D QIS +28 317
#note A questionable play. QI 14B retains the S for a sacrifice of only 4 points. I was concerned about potential comebacks such as OILY but that should not matter.

>Arie_Sinke: ILMNNOW K8 MINO. +18 366
#note I played this to score and obstruct bingo lines, especially easy S-ending bingos down column K. In hindsight AMNION 3H would have done a better job, rendering sevens almost entirely unplayable. Sims favor 14F FAWNY, indicating that in this situation it is important to keep a balanced leave while drawing into a pool that is fairly weak apart from the S and blank.
>Mad_Palazzo: OY H14 YO +24 286
>Arie_Sinke: DLNRVWW C12 V.W +9 375
#note Now things are starting to look a bit bleaker. I will have a hard time preventing a bingo. My best bet is to clear out any point tiles that I do not want to be stuck with while not emptying the bag. I can probably outrun most bingos. CP gives a slight edge to WOW in terms of winning chances for reasons which I cannot understand.
>Mad_Palazzo: ?ACIILS I12 .I +6 292
>Arie_Sinke: DLNRRTW 2B TW. +21 396
#note It is impossible to block LAICISe/LAICISm in all spots, but I can still outrun it.
>Mad_Palazzo: ?ACIILS 6B CIS +26 318
>Mad_Palazzo: ?ACIILS -- -26 292
>Arie_Sinke: DLNRR F6 R.... +11 407
#note A significant amount of spread was lost during the endgame.
>Mad_Palazzo: ?ACIILS 11B CAL. +16 308
>Arie_Sinke: DLNR 7E ....D +11 418
>Mad_Palazzo: ?IIS I2 SI +19 327
>Arie_Sinke: LNR 3H ..RN +4 422
#note Playing anything like RAIN 3G forming ERR did not occur to me through the whole endgame.
