#note super weird spot between EPHORATE and this, two completely different ideas. EPHORATE actually gives less back immediately, but may make the board a bit tougher to control in the long term. OPERATE could have that effect too, if a horizontal bingo gets played through one of the floaters. I immensely regret this decision. It worked out way too well in this game, and I think put me on a lingering thought process of thinking I could tactically outmanoeuvre all of these players with way more critical word knowledge than me. Maybe I can, sometimes, but that's not what happened. I should have played more fun Scrabble, and instead I treated CSW like NWL and had very little fun because of it, and also did poorly.

#note wondered if OVERGET# was valid. Decided on this to set up HOV(ER) if needed and not breach the K column. I also get draws at OV(ER)B(ET), OV(ER)L(ET), which I thought was cool. Weibin Toh didn't like this play but I'm not really sure why. Quackle likes it. VEGO is obviously very powerful as well, and once again, playing that would probably have helped me get into the correct mindset in the rest of the event.

#note choosing the more suspicious placement to better set my Z up with ADZ. But this also gets blocked way more often, though perhaps not with Chris' range+deficit.

#note I was sure I was chickening out of WANZ* here, despite knowing WANZE#. I thought both were good. Lucky, I was very close to playing it.

#note A6 (T)AJ sims best. This seemed fine. RAJ 10B was suggested by Weibin, but meh.

#note had mistracked an L I think, so I didn't know if QUITE was going to give something huge back. It was either that or it was better than QUIET. -2 #endgamesmall
