#note I should have given more credit to this - it opens up row 2, column E four-timer, and after AMID/IMID it opens up column 6.

#note Played too quick here - if I accounted the actual risk in this board, then I might as well taken the points with ZARI. IWI/MIDI is a creative attempt to block.

#note Do not like how volitile it gets, I was feeling quite lost here, should I take the points with WIPE or PAWN or go fishing?

#note Best, unless I know what's in the bag!
Did see ENTITY/ES, but it's so unintuitive to leave upper right open. It's hardly convincing to choose EE over IT (maybe to keep the AMID hook), given 2 more Es to come.

#note The good news - is I've drawn all the good consonants, the bad news - is he still threatens to bonus.
What I've deduced:
DOULEIA hits two spots, WIL(D) does cover them all, but FNRT with 1 more to come is not promising, I would get done by a consonant draw, which is 2/8, a bad vowel draw does not secure the win, up by 26, but allow him to have an out in 2, scoring at least 40+my left over.
DOULEIA is also 2/8, but those other 6 outcomes are more straightforward wins.
2 minutes left on the clock, should I play LAWN? do I need to risk LAWIN? I eventually bet on the wrong horse.
Quackle agrees with what I've said, LAWN/LAWN is best, but it's tricky for Samuel to win. Eg, after WILD and drawing the D, there is only one winning move for him.

#note The game ended with 2:30 for me and 0:40 for him. We rightfully burn lots of time, PUBIC and GIB is close, QI orQADI or QADIS are close.
