#note Dunno.
>Jesse_Day: ?AENNNX 10I AX +30 304
#note JD: this looks interesting in hindsight. I didn't want to give back a ton of free points with ANNEX, or make Josh's bingos go down (there are no Ss left, so only I can hit OMAS). I'm happy to wait and control the board. At the same time, I make it more possible for my rack to head toward a disaster scenario.

#note Scoring I guess. Not sure which metrics I should be using here.
>Jesse_Day: ??EEMNP L11 .EMP +24 343
#note I didn't see SPAEMEN, my only bingo, but this looks way better - after SPAEMEN pulling the Q kills me, while with this path I could still score or bingo with it using the blanks. I had also been pushing Josh hard on time, so I was able to slap this down quickly and force him to react fast.

#note JD: I had been pushing Josh pretty hard on time, and had about 10 minutes for this pre-endgame. Unfortunately, I only spotted the best sequence in post-mortem. It was hard to shake the notion of fishing for a bingo, even though the only rack that I could come up with that fit in two spots was drawing an I (EQUINES/INQUERE). I saw NIQAB at 15G and the possibility that I'd only have to burn one blank to play it if I drew A or I - but I only saw in post-mortem that I have the amazing FE(HM)E! That way, I threaten NIQABS/KEMPS as an out-play, which Josh will have trouble seeing in the 30 seconds he has left. Even, with perfect play, he blocks with FAVA/FA and I go out with NIQAB on the left to steal either a 2-point or 1-point win!
>jvc: AAFILOV B8 LAV +18 412
#note I was low on time and wanted to block unseen six starting with AQ, which there are none, making this a terrible play. There is a much more dangerous spot.
>Jesse_Day: ??AEENQ 15G NiQA.s +57 410
#note JD: Josh didn't see this one coming - I hoped that he might not react quickly enough to find a win.
>jvc: AFIO 14F FA +15 427
#note I had about 6 seconds left. C6 OAF is better by 3 points.
