#note I missed D8 CREAT(I)N(E), which is probably worth it here. The problem is that there are so many As and Es left, I have to be careful about keeping too many. It doesn't seem like any of the plays in the D lane, otherwise, are worth playing. I didn't think Nigel had S? here, so I figured I could race for one of those, or I might induce a small blocking play. Even if he does have an S, he may opt to play down from S(CAT) for not many points, or open up the board by playing a word ending in S. The odds of him bingoing with an S just aren't that good here, so it's a good shot to get myself back in the game. That said, I think CREAT(I)N(E) may keep me close enough - I just missed it.

#note I believe Nigel already held the Q at this point.
>dacrON: ?AEEEUZ J2 Z.EA +33 338
#note 4C ZEE seems so obvious in hindsight. The 6 points I get now aren't worth leaving C3 open.

#note Appears to win 100% of the time, despite what championship player says...
>Nigel_Peltiest: AEEOQRY O14 OY +17 371

#note I'll leave you to run this Q-stick endgame for yourself. pretty much set to win here.
>Nigel_Peltiest: AEEQR 8A .EER +12 383
>dacrON: EU 5L .U +2 388
#note I should just go out here. Not sure why I didn't - mustive been low on time or something and missed Z(A).
>Nigel_Peltiest: AQ 2J .A +13 396
>dacrON: E I3 .E +8 396
#note This was somehow counted as 7.
>dacrON: (Q) +20 416
#note Nigel went over by a minute, and so the final score was recorded as 415-386. At the time, I'd felt I'd played this game really well, but now after going over it I feel like I dropped the ball a bit. I got too desparate too soon, and played too quickly as a result, and was bailed out by some friendly tiles. Maybe morning four was destined to be the bad morning? Hmm....
