#note I thought about TEAZEL 3I but didn't want to give Noah another lane. That's silly; there are lots of lanes anyway. (-6)

>Carl: EENOTUV 1G .OUNT +24 136
#note FUTON narrowly wins the sim here; surprising, as it gives back a big X spot. (-1)
>Noah_B: ABW F2 WAB +35 124
>Carl: ?DEEOVX H3 EX +40 176
#note Too bad I didn't play FUTON, huh?
>Noah_B: OTU 4C OUT... +30 154
>Carl: ?DELOTV L7 r.VOLTED +72 248
#note This has to be better than the M8 placement. No 3x3, plus it's harder to hit something big at J14.

>Carl: ACDILRR 4K ACR.D +46 294
#note I played this quickly and actually missed a bingo here-- RAILCARD H7. But even had I seen it, I think I'm still playing ACRID, which gives back nothing and looks absolutely beautiful. Noah has had a few turns to draw an S or blank, and RAILCARD is just asking for trouble at this score. Even if he doesn't have the hook yet, what was a comfortable lead now becomes a race. (-13?)

>Noah_B: ?AEGGMO B6 GAwMOGE. +67 297
#note The right play here is HEMAGOG 11D, but it's hard to pass up a word this awesome once you see it. Now, the big question: what do you do with my next rack?
>Carl: BEIJPQU 11H JUBI.E +55 422
#note Hell. Yes.
>Noah_B: HOP A7 POH +38 335
>Carl: AFHNPQW 6F Q. +31 453
#note I played this instantly, but the position is far more perilous than I perceive. The right play is FAWN A3. In fact, whereas FAWN apparently wins 100% of the time, QI only wins 88%. Unless I block, Noah has a surprising number of bingos down Column D. Worse, there is the possibility that Noah can play JINK H11, setting up a huge play on Row 15. FAWN, leaving one in the bag, makes that a lot tougher.(-16, tactics large)
