#note 9H (E)UOI wins the sim, maybe because I get sixes at J8 next turn? Didn't come up with it over the board despite taking a few minutes here.

#note D(O)F in the same spot wins the same, maybe because of PP synergy? Leaving 8A open seems right, anyway.

#note As mentioned earlier, I went into this endgame figuring I had lost, so I completely auto-piloted this and didn't notice that Rasheed is L-stuck if I play 15N N(O). I immediately realized it when he played there for just two points. I was moderately annoyed but not devastated about it since 1.) I was tired (it was 10 PM) and 2.) I had no expectations for cashing at this tourney. Rasheed had some winning sequences but having VEX(T) in my back pocket makes it non-trivial for him.
