#note a stunning position - considered trying to force a 6-pass scenario, but I might lose if he makes a blocking play at H7. Maybe HO keeping ILLEST?

#note this is already a really bad spot. SALTIE isn't that great of a stem, should maybe think about HA/HI or HAP/HIP, or maybe even AI.

#note not great, but I do need to score something. Q suggests DIB but it feels pretty blockable.

#note after the game I thought I should play CLOW 13K, but if I do that Eta can block bottom-right and I'm left with some pretty bad lanes. Prefer CLOWN now

#note his exact rack - Q actually wants him to simply play off EE or EU somewhere
>JD: ?AELOOT 13K TOOL +11 313
#note OWE sets up the last L and becomes very hard to block - but it does leave room for Eta to score and block on bottom-right.

#note the most important move of the game is right here - TREIF to keep board open and try to bingo out to win. I should never win if I bingo now, but I ran out of time.
