#note in hindsight I like OOT/WEET which seems like the right balance of scoring and fishing.

#note I didn't see TREYF for 45, but I would still play this - seems to structure the board better for a come back.

#note I could cash my S now with CEASED, but felt like that wouldn't get me that close to winning the game. another option is ACEDIA at D3 opening the top-left and reaching for the blank. After ACEDIA, Puneet is never really going to be able to shut the board down. I would play that in hindsight.

>JD: ACEINSU 2J CEI.A +30 321
#note ideally I'd be able to fork the board, but instead I threaten column O and need to draw either a Q play or a column F bingo to steal. Playing the I here hurts since a lot of possible column F bingos need it, but CAUSE at N10 doesn't threaten anything new.
>Puneet: BE 1N BE +16 378
>JD: DEGLNSU H14 L. +7 328
#note the only 1-tile fish I could see was for NUTSEDGE, which he wound up blocking because I couldn't fish the L anywhere useful. Another try is fishing ION one short of the TWS, but with S? unseen he very likely has a hook, or he can just block. However, I see a strong play now that I missed over the board: BANG at N1, which sets up a scary column O lane and gives me backdoor draws on column F (SCHEDULE with H?, DELUSTRE with RT/R?/T?, DUELSOME with O?).
>Puneet: O F7 O. +2 380
#note good block
>JD: DEGHNSU J2 .H +7 335
#note his rack is so scary that I probably shouldn't fish anymore, but he already has QUEST for 74 a lot of the time at N10 anyway so I'm not really making things much worse.
