#note Q recommends (YO)K here, but BEAK jumps to the top of the sim and increases my win percentage from 14% to 18%
>Paul_H: CIL 14E LIC. +12 371
>Mike: EENORST O1 .ENOTERS +74 367
#note The comeback also involves getting lucky - this was phony, but unchallenged
>Paul_H: AEEPRTX 6J PE +33 404
>Mike: AEOPRTX N10 PRETAX +55 422
#note Finally, the comeback depends on playing the endgame correctly, but after giving myself a chance and getting lucky, I screwed that part up. I was fixed on playing the X to maximize my score this play, but Paul pointed out that playing PRATE/PEART/PATER and keeping OX is a winning sequence. If he then plays HIJRA 15A, OX at 14A scores enough to win. If he plays JIVER 3A instead, OX at 2E is enough. Another winning sequence we didn't see in te post mortem is preventing HIJRA by playing EXTRA at 15A. The OP can then outrun whatever he plays next.
