#note no bingo if i find ricotta. gg.

#note down by this much, it's worth to sacrifice 3 points (vs MOToRING, which i laid down first). it opens the board more, and it doesn't set up easy scoring spots for him. quackle disagrees by a point or so.

#note i was seriously going to play BUMPKIN if he didn't go there and deal with the consequences later. all these plays are hurting my time, unfortunately. i even took too long on attic, i shoulda seen ricotta.

#note i think POGO is better than this actually. i didn't want to block a lane with N2 POD, but maybe that lane is way too hard to hit anyway? 6E UP also worth a thought. tough position for sure. -4 #tacticsmedium

#note yeah maybe that's why i want to take this spot.

#note i did not want to use my case S on C9 ZONES. i don't see a path to victory after it with a IOTV leave... another tough move. is ZONES actually right? -8.5 #strategylarge ?
>richard_buck: DIR C9 DI..R +16 395
#note sigh this hurts to look at. i'm normally really good about immediately seeing hooks when my opponents make plays. but somehow i didn't see this one right away, so i only discarded it as an S hook. i've seen harder stuff. why not here? i think to a large extent it was my time, i spent so long trying to come back. BUNKIE and PACEY took me forever to spot for example; i have to get faster.

#note i couldn't fish off just the V so i just went for a miracle. this is the winningest play.

#note i had about 30 seconds or so on my clock. i didn't think he was going to let me play OVATIONS, so i was looking for a Q stick. then he did this. i didn't think he had given me a bingo, and i was only looking to the right. i saw novations on my rack at some point but then thought too bad the ON is backwards. i then tried to continue thinking of a way to Q stick him and couldn't figure it out. this is of course a ridiculously bad play, but it didn't register that i wasn't Q-sticking him at the time, i literally just ran out of time. The funniest thing is that slow-playing the game actually works too, i didn't need to find novations. 6F IT wins for example. -120 #endgamelarge #timelarge #nojudgment #meowmeow
