#note moment of truth - VARVE was tempting to try and grind out a win slowly, but VIVA looks optimally better - I am way favoured to hit the bingo lanes down below, and the first to hit has a big advantage in this position. Tempting to block those worst case scenarios, but felt like I wasnt favoured enough down tempo with the blank to justify forgoing VIVA

#note this felt good over the board, taking out basically all bingoes, but allowing some Z bombs at the bottom right. I felt like I could outrun them a lot, but really the Z is a bigger worry than I first thought. I think RURALIZE for 68 is the play - though I open the triple, not a lot of heavy stuff hits with the E there, just ZEES and a few things, but more importantly, I score more immediately to be able to outrun those plays. Also, the big downside of RURALIZE was leaving the CDEF clumns open, but if she hits those immediately I can hit the O column myself and easily outrun. If she plays on the O column for 30-40, I can just block the left side lanes and not have any Z bomb or anything to worry about. I think this was a big strategy oversight

#note LATEEN was tempting to take out the Z bombs, but I was a bit worried about getting outrun by a TIZ-type play and her having the blank, and the Q having nowhere good to go. QAT a tleast outrun a lot of immediate Z bombs cause 5 tile plays will empty the bag.
>Annette_Obrestad: CDELNSZ 6L L.C +11 354
>Jackson: DEEIILN 15K INDIE +23 427
#note Tough position cause I have to figure out how often she is keeping the Z with LAC. If she's keeping bingo leaves, I might want to block the W, cause stuff like windiest, whiniest, whimsied hit there, but if she is aware of DIZENS/MIZENS, I should definitely block with INDIE. INDIE looks optimal cause it's way more likely she hits the Z than bingoes
