#note Sim winner here is WIZ 13G. My play is about 1 point back. Also worth considering: TWA G13, setting up the Z. (-1)

>Carl: CEOSSSV 2J CO.VES +34 274
#note It's annoying that the only reasonable plays restrict the board. Quackle says that VERSO is a little better. The possibility that Jeff might challenge CORVES played a role too. I also considered COVES/VOCES D2, which sim quite a bit lower. (-1)

>Carl: ILOSSSV C2 SOILS +34 308
>Jeff: DOR L6 ROD +20 362

#note Am I actually going to win this game?
>Jeff: AB 1N BA +22 384
>Carl: ABGNRST 4A BR.. +9 338
#note This was the toughest decision of the game. It seemed necessary to keep some lanes open in case Jeff does something drastic to row M, but yet I can't let Jeff score a whole lot either. I can't do RIN 4B because I won't hit a bingo often enough. Sim-winners GARB/GRAB/ORB in SE quadrant look terrible because now Jeff needs only close column M to ensure victory (NESTLING notwithstanding). Maybe just BY I7 and hope Jeff doesn't block? (-6)
>Jeff: EILRTU A2 RE.UILT +27 411
>Carl: AEEGNST 3C ..E +7 345
#note Quackle says NEG 9K wins 31% of the time vs. 17.5% after my play.
>Jeff: AHN A12 .HAN +28 439
#note Jeff said that he mistracked and didn't see any possible bingos for me. However, his play is inadvertently correct since it outruns whatever I might have.
>Carl: AEGNOST 15H .EGATONS +77 422
