#note I felt under pressure and may have panicked a bit with B10 CURRY. I felt the board closing fast, and I wanted to create some volatility. I think B10 CURRY is much better if I'm holding an S. Even without one, it creates a bingo lane for later in the game. In the short run, maybe it induces a suboptimal blocking play from my opponent. The problem is that IOTT is a bad leave. Quackle likes C12 UT for 9 points or 3F DOUT for 11 points
>Orry_Swift: LOT 12A LOT. +8 181
#note This was a brilliant play by Orry. It never crossed my mind that he was setting up QI at C9. LOTH looked like an attempt to block the triple line. I don't even think I appreciated what he was working here when he explained it to me after the game. Only through later review did I get it. Probably I just wasn't thinking clearly at this point while feeling under pressure to come from behind against a superior opponent.
>Ken: AAIIOTT K5 O.TIA +10 126
#note I want to open up the bottom right quadrant. Quackles also likes J5 IOTA for 4 more points, but I feel like that is easier to block.

>Ken: ??HIOTY J9 THIOnYl +80 271
#note This remains an area for improvement. Finding double blank bingos is very hard for me. J9 THIOnYl is a good find (and a word I had studied), but didn't feel good enough to put me back on a winning trajectory given the score gap and possible responses by Orry through the L on the 15 line. Better plays that I missed are 01 ISOHYET/FRAILS for 103 poitns and H8 TOOTHILY for 98 points. I knew both of those words but was not good enough to find them in these circumstances. Quackle says ISOHYET gives 21% winning chance versus 8% for THIONYL, but ISOHYET really puts Orry under pressure if he doesn't hold an S.
