>JD: ADIIOUW -ADIIOUW +0 0
#note exchanging 7 to open is rarely right, but here keeping AD is pretty darn close to just exchanging!
>Ezekiel_Markwei: ??AEOQU 8C EQUAtOr +98 98
>JD: FLMNRTV F6 FL.M +17 17
#note could exchange again! this is tolerable, or VENT.

>JD: CEEIOTX L3 .OX +40 400
#note Q seems to slightly prefer PIX and a CEEOT leave?
>Ezekiel_Markwei: AEFLY 14B LEAFY +53 442
>JD: CCEEIOT 15F ECCO +32 432
#note ideally I would try to leave 15F open for a desperation bingo, but probably just need to score and hope.
>Ezekiel_Markwei: IJ O1 JI. +35 477
#note that hurts
>JD: DEEEIKT 11E IDEE +39 471
#note the tempo is bad, but I just don't have any other plays that even get me close to scoring enough. need to pray to draw an out from here, or to draw the As so that I can threaten KATA on row 15, in which case it might be tough for him to block. another thought is EKE/KVELL at 6B which can only win if I pull the R (REKE). I'm not certain which is a better try.
>Ezekiel_Markwei: EGGHRUV D12 GR.V +24 501
#note because I actually did draw AA, Zeke had to make a really tough play here to block KATA. the only wins are GRAV and RAV (threatening GRAV hook), so this was a great find on his part.
>JD: AAEKTU G5 TAU. +16 487
#note for once, I had a lot of time going into the endgame because we had both played fast, and I ended up using every second. I didn't have everything quite figured out when I hit my clock, but I knew I needed to block HUGE and that he wouldn't have much after TAUT, and then I spotted a big potential out....
>Ezekiel_Markwei: EGHU J12 E.H +14 515
#note Zeke told me after the game that he had only spotted the threat of AKE/KVELL and not my other high-scoring out, so he thought he was about to win by one! cruelly, the only win he has here requires him to see the scoring spot where my highest-scoring out fits...
>JD: AEK 12L .AKE +22 509
#note just enough to tie
>JD: (GU) +6 515
