Game 2
Sims plenty close enough to ATONY to be defensible, but I should play AHOY instead.

#note Was sure I must have missed something here...it wasn't a bingo, of which this is the only one, but rather NORDIC. Didn't see it and didn't know it was board-safe. It is quite the board-killer's delight. I do know FULMINED and wouldn't mind eliding a subsequent trade of overlaps considering I am at a big word knowledge disadvantage in this game. That's probably overthinking things, but I did consider it.

#note Definitely should have considered playing at O7, which sims even with this and would be less volatile. I'm still getting used to *not* always chasing volatility. That said, chasing blanks is worthy here, plus opp's last two plays seem somewhat forced, against which my ER leave is probably the more groomed.

#note With blank and big tempo in hand, 1A VACS looks like the play, volatility be damned. I didn't even look, and anyway I'm a long way from seeing S(T) hooks consistently. Sim gives 8L S(PI)V the edge on win%, but I'd rather turn over a few more tiles to chase balance and shorten then game, if I see VACS that is. The CLAV(E) line is less reliable the stronger your opponent, I would think.

#note I did reeeally want to play 13E QI, and sim does love it, but I chickened out. Looks like I mistracked the IIs and had one unaccounted for.
