#note didn't think about how HEX 9M set up HOW for 42. That's the play for sure #tacticssmall

#note thought it was close between this and (N)IQAB but it really isn't. I really don't understand Q dynamics well enough... Scrabble is tough.

#note things are starting to get interesting. I didn't know if it was quite worth 10 points to play this over BOITE L11, but thought it was close, and considering I was trying not to lose by 40+ which would be good enough maybe 40% of the time, I liked the long-term defense this provided. MOS could mean one of two things: good leave or terrible leave. I couldn't stomach being wrong about the likelihood he was keeping poorly, but if he can't capitalize on BOITE L11 immediately I should just win on the spot. Quackle says this is -5 to BOITE and -4 to EBONITE, but it doesn't know how to defend the position after. Though maybe neither do I.

#note wanted to take out VAGRANTS and try to shut it all down. AA L12 has a much better leave, but he can play on M column easily and reopen threats. E(T)A 9A wins the sim because it scores. #questionable

#note honestly should have lost the game with this play. I just couldn't find I(N)DRI 12J. This takes the F hook and I can't really block it unless I get specific draws. The exact thing I don't want to be doing in this position. #findingSADDEST

#note not sure anything is an 100% win, but this seemed good enough. I lose a small amount of the time when I draw UUW, or if he makes a good fish (I think)
