#note F3 is a sexy spot, MOONDOG is nice. I think with a lead, MOO is defensible though (he did block a bingo in fact). Im surprised he didnt do GOO instead though, what with the G being a bad tile. GOO looks worth it, if you dont do MOONDOG

#note I really had that feeling of a bingo being there through the A, but just couldnt come up with PETALOID. horrible

#note very difficult turn here. The idea with THY is to keep the F for 15 row/O column plays as well as the D for E10 OD?S. While those are good for me, a big worry is a very technical one - I likely need to draw two vowels here to win, but two vowel draws actually consistently lose to 4a Z plays by 2 points - ZINE and ZETA beat O12 F?ST, since he can block with E10 OBE or OBA to win by a couple points after 9B S?ND. Maybe this doesn't actually play out super often, but it just means I have to draw two vowels and he can't have an immediate Z play. 4J DIF also seems good, or FIT to keep the D. A problem here is that he's blocking the bottom right quite often here, whenever he doesn't have a Z play upstairs. I wonder if I should be playing something like SH(I)T L12 to make his blocks harder, protecting F?ST plays for myself. It's also better timing to play 3 tiles, forcing him to empty the bag more often (though ZA N1 still leaves 1 in the bag), also not forcing me to draw two vowels after THY or DIF. Not sure what's best here - I think THY does well when he doesn't have zine or zeta and I draw two vowels, but that's probably too much to ask. SHIT also opens me up to good Z draws, since just Z and vowel after THY is probably too clunky to win, unless I miraculously hit ZEST and he leaves it open. Champ likes DIF and FIT here. I'm liking SHIT right now, but could be convinced.
