>JD: BEEIISY 8G BEY +16 16
#note should maybe just exchange down to ES - dead even on a sim. my general philosophy here would say to exchange.
>Mark_Milan: RU G8 .UR +6 6
>JD: EEEIISU -EEIIU +0 16
>Mark_Milan: EEILNRT I1 ENTIREL. +63 69
#note lientery would be better
>JD: EILNOSU 11F ELUSION +70 86
#note I figured I would make the position more difficult to interpret, in case he forgot about DELUSION. Q seems to prefer the placement at 12A.

>Mark_Milan: HORU 13L HOUR +32 119
>JD: AMNNOPW 4I .MPAWN +26 141
#note MINNOW and UNWON might be a tad better for the points.

#note I can also play THINK and hold the D and J to score with next turn. not sure which is better.

>JD: CEJKNOP 12A JOCK. +52 279
#note ack, completely whiffed on JERK.

>JD: DEGNOPV 8A GO.P +30 309
#note huge miss, maybe time pressure? POOVE at B10 is vastly better. I was far too focused on putting the G at A8 to take advantage of my case N.
>Mark_Milan: ALR A12 .ARL +33 350
>JD: DDEEINV N10 VE..E +32 341
#note now down 41, I liked creating the S hook on row 15 for Mark to worry about and have to block, but I can also play DIODE this turn for a bunch of points to catch up more.
>Mark_Milan: DEGR H11 .RGED +24 374
>JD: DDEEINS B10 DI.DE +36 377
#note I'm actually the supposed favorite to win the game after this move.
>Mark_Milan: AAIT M3 A.AIT +18 392
>JD: AEFGNSY 4B F.GEY +24 401
#note I was focused on trying to block his Z plays on row 4 while also drawing an out, and saw that FOGY would leave me with ANISE at row 15 or ANSAE on row 8 with the right draw. in contrast, FOGEY only seemed to win when I drew an A (ANSA) or the E (in which case he can't play ZEIN). but under time pressure I nonetheless played FOGEY. the endgames where I draw the Z are hard for him too. my analysis wasn't bad under time pressure, but in this case if I play FOGY I win. FAY also wins 3.5/8, winning if he doesn't have ZLOTE.
>Mark_Milan: AAEILTZ 2F ZEI. +37 429
#note only win
>JD: AINS 15K AINS +14 415
#note with FOGY would've drawn ANISE here for win
>JD: (AALT) +8 423
