#note should probably just do LUM M2. I thought this might get a hold/challenge or at least unsettle Jason if he didn't know the word. Then I noticed A(LUM) and was annoyed at that prospect, although that could be good for me if I draw an A. I didn't think Jason would miss a play with ALUM. DU(A)LLY was an option I didn't consider. I also considerd (A)DYTUM but that looked to make the game too easy for him and too tough for me with my LL leave. #strategymedium

#note I didn't see BREVIT(Y). That could be OK, even though it gives him an R to play to and the 15 column. #questionable
>Jason_Vaysberg: EGINSTU 7A GUESTIN. +62 201
#note held and released. Noticed GUN(G)IEST and wondered if both Jason and I were making GUESTING up. Then decided that he just didn't know or see GUNGIEST and that this was almost certainly its anagram.

#note actual rack. M3 OF may be a better version of this, but this is pretty solid.
>Joshua_Sokol: BDIJORU D2 BIJOU. +30 281
#note saw the best play of JURI(E)D right after I hit my clock. 2nd time that happened this tournament, and it made me pretty upset. Blocking the T as well as the S is beneficial, but scoring 42 is even better.

#note incredibly tough position. Figured he didn't have the Z of the X as there would be better plays with those (C1 _AX) and ZA(P) 3L. Reasoned that he might try to overextend and block the X bomb spot. Wanted to overcomplicate and try to draw my way out of this mess. TOOLER also an option. ORLO(P) seemed like the standard idea. #questionasble
>Jason_Vaysberg: ENTT D10 NETT +16 345
#note plan seems to have worked
>Joshua_Sokol: AACELNW A10 ANLACE +29 357
#note blank(s) still out, Z still out, X still out. Overload of desire to go for turnover. Thought about ways for him to go out in two with something like FAITH/F(AN) and wondered if I would have enough if I drew ZX. I get ZAX C1 a lot, with or without the blank. I don't know if I should regret this decision but I certainly did. WAN F10 is the other option. That serves to complicate things a bit more at least.

#note even if I have both blanks, he only loses with an H draw. Did ANLACE lose me the game? JURIED obviously did.
