#note Missed JURAT/JURATS, which look good. This is bad.

#note Now I missed SYLVA, which looks like the play. VAULT also seems better than this. This is also phony.

#note Not so sure about this play. I didn't consider SO 5M, which opens another bingo line, guaranteeing that I bingo if I draw an N or E. A big problem with that is that KENNER and ZONK both seem to beat my bingos. In fact, UN has similar pitfalls - just YEZ scores enough against OROmETER, but on the other hand, can still be outrun by sNORTER, sTROKER, and UpROOTER (I don't think I saw the latter in game). Championship Player likes (N)U and U(N) for some reason - I think this can safely be ignored? I don't seem to have any bingo draws that play at 14G, so I'm puzzled by that result. I'm not really sure how he will react to UM - maybe just by blocking the O like he did? SEZ actually looks somewhat compelling as a bingo blocker in some situations, but I can actually win with ZONK sometimes, which lowers its appeal. Quackle actually suggests O(OF) as one of many best 50% winners if he has EEENORZ in the preendgame, though this result isn't to be trusted, at the least because of inference.

#note Champ suggests ORT. This I played with a few seconds of clock left, after thinking for a while - wasn't able to understand this endgame with what I had. At some point I noticed that his Z plays I saw gave me back REZERO if I played vEXT, but it seemed like he could delay playing the Z, so that might not work so well. Also, I missed AZO, so I was wrong - I only noticed REZ, SEZ, and ZONE. By the time my time was almost up, I had generated ERR? as something that could play through the Z if he played ZONE, but wasn't able to see the many problems with that plan and/or just needed to play something. Champ doesn't generate my play, but evaluates his next turn's best play after mine to be OOZE (which I didn't notice I set up) for -12, so that my play is +16, higher than most of Champ's generated choices, compared to ORT, which is evaluated at +33.
>TileRunner: ENNOZ L6 .ZO +13 430
>whatnoloan: ?ERR 9A RaRE +8 350
#note Edit: I guess I generated choices when I previously posted this game, so reported ERRs as the best play. Champ winner is actually 7I ER. This is -12. Ended with 346 points due to time trouble. Pretty terrible showing in this game. I'm not really sure how to fix BLITE, and still don't really feel like I understand why it's an error, though it seems to be , other plays I feel like I could potentially do better on.
