#note i didn't want to give him a letter to bingo through so i don't like IMAGE as much. however, if he's vowel heavy, maybe it's not such a bad thing, and then i can use the scoring spot next turn?

#note i sorta wanted to play GLOCHID but that's a bad play.

#note he ended up challenging very quickly. i got worried for a second it was a weird CSW word.

#note -0.5; BEDBUG is great here to apply the pressure.

#note oh nice. TIZ 9A has fewer of the problems that BLITZ does. after FARO too it seems he kept something fairly strong or else wouldn't have made such an aggro play. but idk. -1 #tacticssmall

#note very hard move. i think this is still right. there's not that many high point tiles that can hurt me too bad here, and this keeps a pretty decent leave. 14E TOIT may be a bit better because of the i's in the pool but TIPS is a better leave. any other options?

>cesar: AEILNST 10I SLAINTE +68 293
#note come ON i should have considered SALIENT. aren't these the racks that we drill to death? but i didn't list this one among the anagrams that started with S in my head. however quackle likes SALTINE and SLAINTE better, maybe because there's already a lot of unseen Es? i don't know. i give up more pts with SALIENT apparently.

#note i didn't spot the J14 GYP spot, and at this point i'm pretty unfocused. gotta work on focusing in all situations. since a loss here will make me 1-2 in the early bird so far, it was tough to stay positive, given how i lost the last game! This is a great example of how one lost moment of focus costs one the game. The most elite players make the right play here - it is essential to keep the V to score at 8D, so the best plays should actually keep EV. that makes YEN even better. In the main event, I had a somewhat similar situation, but at that point I was significantly more concentrated and I think I made the right decision. -16 #visionlarge

#note i was in despair at this point. the meow meow wasn't working, and this was my 20th loss or so since nationals, most of which were to <1800 players. i messaged my Mina telling her I wasn't going to break 400 again and that i should just quit! but she reminded me that that wasn't the method.
