#note Took a long quackle analysis in this move. First, I mistakenly write the letter I have in my rack, so I have to recall my decision at that time before I play this move.
Quackle suggest WUZ or WAZ best, I tend to agree but real game for some unknown reason I forget that new words and think I cannot play Z in that place. Next, quackle still suggest exc leave S,Z and blank as 2nd best, even with 47 points behind. My move seems like 3rd best, AHEAD 13A SOZ for 50, which I spotted but not interested to take 50 "very unhealthy poitnts". The tile for next move will be terrible after leave VWDG. Not to mention if open triple word square with S, which very easy to reach using 5 letter words that can be added S. Playing VAW only also means retain Z, a letter that worth almost like blank in this board situation

There is additional consideration why I play VAW, which of course outside quackle consideration. Most likely Fatur will score another decisive 30++ points in that spot, while Z spot in 13C is unlikely to play since it require -OC, -OP, -OB or -OK 3 letter to score well. Playing VAW will also make Fatur think, "Damn he has another blank", and he started to play defensively, block bingo line while in fact the real threat for hi is not a bingo line, but double word spot in 13C, for quadrupling Z. Also, playing VAW will create WAS. Player rated over 1000 (but still below 1200) wll undoubtely know AWA, but maybe don't know it cannot be added S (AWAS*). So placing word like that also make some trap for him and hopefully work.

Still, I still upset that the fact I didn't spot WAZ or WUZ in this move, which obviously better than VAW after all that considerations

>M._Fathurrahman: HIW M1 WHI.. +22 366
>Christian_Oktavius: ACDGIOT N11 .GAD +12 437
#note 1J GODWIT is what quackle suggest. Hovewer I have planning something big that now will be easily ruined because his WHITE. So I play EGAD in order to make him use that triple in 15O and not interfere my secret plan
>M._Fathurrahman: ADEIOOP N1 OO +19 385
#note Not working, but he admit thinking differently. He said because I open the spot he want to open the spt again so both of us can score big, not realizing that I just open that spot so let him use and I can play CONQUESTS for 60 if I get N, which I get now
>Christian_Oktavius: ACINOTT O1 TA +30 467
