#note All the 100% win plays either block 11A ADAPTIVE--which I hadn't thought of during the game--or leave one in the bag. 11H GRIN is best, likely because an E draw allows 2A UKE or N12 TREK. I hadn't found GRR N12 at that point, and I probably would have played it if I had found it. (-27)
>New_Player_1: ADEEITV N10 VIED +30 418
#note The best endgame is N10 VET, 11M PEG, 12E IDEA. (-5)

#note Tournament summary: 1st place, 6-0 +617. I felt like I consistently drew as well as or better than my opponents, and I played best against high-seeded opponents and worst against low-seeded opponents. I noticed that I am often too paranoid about bingo lanes and scoring spots, sometimes trying to block lanes that I could not block effectively while I had better equity plays elsewhere. My endgame is much improved, though, and I am satisfied with my performance.
