#note There are a few good plays in this spot.
>Tom_Bond: DIK 9F DI.K +17 63
>Noah_Walton: AENRRST K6 RANTERS +68 231
#note I decided that REGRANTS gave Tom more explosive plays, i.e. ways to come back (ZEST, ZORI, SH plays, etc.), so sacrificed a few points.

#note I didn't really consider anything else, but there are other good options here. AX 14E isn't THAT dangerous, given what's left. Actually, row 14 is a pretty strong spot for him to bingo on. I can also do LASED 14A, which is a cool setup. I think he'll take 15A a lot after LASED, but I usually have decent backup at 15F. AX is the spread play, and according to Quackle has best win% too. Looks good to me.
>Tom_Bond: ACO 11D OCA +27 216
>Noah_Walton: AADEHST 14B DEASH +51 343
#note Also thought about playing HATED. My reason for playing this at the time was that CUTE takes more underlaps than CUTS, and D takes fewer underlaps than H on the right side. On the other hand, H takes more underlaps than D on the right, which is maybe a reason in favor of HATED. S is OK on this board after HATED, since I can probably at least score with it on row 15. DEASH wins by about 5 valuation points after 2274 iterations of four-ply, so I think I like it. Spread is good.
>Tom_Bond: EEMRSTT 15A REMS +40 256
#note Tom said he had METTERS* here.
>Noah_Walton: AEEOOTU 15F EAU +14 357
#note Just trying to reduce his options as much as possible.
>Tom_Bond: IT B1 TI +8 264
>Noah_Walton: ?ENOOPT A2 PElOTON +79 436
#note I think the only alternative is blocking column A with a non-bingo, and I don't see a good way to do that. During the game, I quickly looked at worst case scenarios and it looked like I was still comfortable in them.
>Tom_Bond: ?ADEIOT M8 TOADIEd +69 333
#note I challenged.
