>JD: ?EIOSWY O12 YOWE +51 169
#note Q likes YEOW at O6 better, which I considered. for all that O12 is a dangerous spot, 8L and O1 are both a little bit more dangerous (the QADI/ZEDA/BLAZE type of play).
>Mina: HOPS 15A POSH +51 246
>JD: ?AIIIRS 14B I.ARI +27 196
#note she blocked SAIMIRI! I was hoping she might not know the VALIUMS hook, which was wishful thinking.
>Mina: ADEF 8L FA.E +36 282
>JD: ?DIORST 15F STORIeD +79 275
#note I was hoping she would leave column O alone so I could drop STEROID for 94. But I did have an amazing play available - SOREDIATE at M2!
>Mina: PT 12B T.P +18 300
>JD: ABCGLNX 10B B.C +20 295
#note my last moment of inspiration for this game. I liked the fact that she might miss ABAC and I can bide my time and cash something big like GALAX.
>Mina: EHINT O1 THINE +32 332
>JD: AGLNRUX N2 AX +37 332
#note I wanted to find a way to hold back the A, but I need points bad, and I figured I'd just hope to draw one of the other two As.
>Mina: BIIV 6J BIVI. +16 348
>JD: GLNRSUZ K4 GR.Z +28 360
#note immediately felt deep regret as I realized that I could just play RIZ to set up my G for next turn!!! I was running out of time already, sadly, and hit my clock too fast.
>Mina: OO N14 OO +16 364
>JD: ALNSTTU 9L UT. +16 376
#note Q likes plays that leverage the fact that I have an S. TAXI scores a bunch, and sets up row 2 for me to use if I can pull one of the Es. Other important factors are having a plan for the Q, and keeping an A for ABAC. TUNG at 4H is also pretty crafty, setting up a potential huge QATS play if I draw the Q, but also threatening to bingo on row 3. that said, TUNG often loses if I can't bingo because I'm sacrificing a lot of points. I would probably play TAXI against a weaker opponent and TUNG against a stronger opponent.
>Mina: IQ L3 QI +28 392
>JD: AELNSTY A6 YENTAS +35 411
#note trying to find a way to steal. this seemed like a good try, need to draw an out to win. Q thinks I have a good shot at winning if I drop LEY at 11J, which scores a ton and blocks her best scoring plays. Especially if she doesn't spot ABAC, I think that's my best shot at winning, even though the tempo is a bit awkward (I'll have a 6 tile rack).
>Mina: ADEEEOS 11J DEE +24 416
#note best play, nice!
>JD: LLR D10 ...R.. +15 426
#note should drop ELL now because COPRAH is unblockable (and she probably won't see it anyway, no offense). If I do that then I have an amazing chance to steal and win by 1 point, because she has to find her best play of TAVS/SCOP or she loses!!!
>Mina: AEOS B6 OE +13 429
#note still perfect endgame
>JD: LL J9 L.. +4 430
#note LAH
>Mina: AS 7I SA. +17 446
#note SAT at I8 for 2 more
>Mina: (L) +2 448
