#note Overall, I'd say the tiles were above average in the second half of Nationals, but LOTS of duplicate tiles, and lots of drawing back the tiles I just dumped.

#note I sincerely thought about playing (HA)IRSPLIT* 5D, but I generally don't get away with phonies because I smell like a wounded gazelle. It's a rare genetic condition that attracts challenges and repels women. No, seriously.

>Carl: EINORST B2 .OINTERS +67 145
#note After the game, I asked Zach if he would have challenged PILIS. We both thought it was good, but neither of us wanted to play it. And I figured that JOINTERS couldn't be that much worse than anything on Column N. I'm not going to risk losing a turn over two points of equity. (-1.5)

#note This is a tough pre-endgame, and a better player could have improved on my play. It's tempting to keep the QU combo, but what, realistically, am I drawing to? Row 14 is fool's gold, and I'll often have to settle for QI 4A in any event. For these reasons, the sim winner is actually VODUN B11, followed by QUOIN 5H.

#note The only winning move.
>Zach_A: EGGST O4 GE.TS +24 374
>Carl: CNO A12 CON. +9 372
#note In what time remained, I rescored the entire game before playing CONI, which I was 100% sure of. I was only like 96% on CONN and wasn't about to lose the game over three points of equity.
