#note 3 possibly ways to win here, all carrying the same idea.

5 minutes left before I played, ZIT at least muddied the waters, threaten NORMA and the triple,

so if VETS/ZE then I would drew with NORMA, no more calculations beyond that. This is not how you should play an endgame
>Rob_Richland: DELRTV N1 DELT +36 435
#note Then I saw JAUPED and I thought that needed to be calculated as well, DELT completely caught me.


(JAUPED is the only move that wins for him)
>Brian_Po: AMNOR 12K NORMA +26 417
#note 30 seconds left and this caught me, in 30 seconds

I saw NORMA loses, ZONA allows V(A)R, then I noticed there is no spot for the V, and he can't block ZONA. Should I play EM/MO, should I play MATER?

In hndsight playing overtime and play a longer endgame is better than an immediate loss
