#note I put an exclamation point here. I don't know if I didn't see that she had AXE for 57 (doubt I missed that) or if I felt she would miss it again or if I just wanted to go for equity despite knowledge of her rack. Weird. I feel like J5 OW is clear. #strategymedium

#note reallllly overthought this one. Why didn't I keep my A instead of my O? Worried about duplication with 3 A's unseen DO(D)O H6 is also probably fine.#strategysmall

#note from this position arises (edit: what I thought was) the most amazing endgame sequence I've ever seen a sub-1000 rated player play. I genuinely thought I was Q-sticking here. (edit: And I was)

Quackle's choice is N1 NU, and it seems to win by 209 according to its endgame analysis, so at least that's consistent with its estimations here. Still don't know if I should trust this.

#note I thought the A(V)A play was genius, which it was, setting up Q(A)t/t(OY) and Qu(AY) unblockable. Sadly it gives me an out I somehow failed to see!!! And then I play this for some really stupid reason. Maybe hoping she missed Qu(AY)? #endgamesaddest
>Irene_Rice_Gedney: ?EILQ 14H .EL +11 321
#note Quackle doesn't find this, but it's a mic drop play. Basically saying "you just played for 2 points and now you can't block my outplay. Just playing Qu(AY) seems to lead to a one-point improvement over this, but psychologically this is a killer move. I got completely owned in this endgame.
