#note Stuff like D11 AB when I'm down over 100 points just seems wrong. I know this setup is difficult to block, and Michael won't be able to score a lot in the process. But I'm actually more hoping he makes a mistake here and doesn't block.

The only problem is after this play, I was so fixated on what he might do, I overdrew and lost my valuable S tile. This is the first time I've done this in quite a long time (played the wrong letters later this tournament in a similar situation) I was not likely to win either game, but I sure did myself no favors in maintaining any chance.

#note Had to decide to play this at either 1A or H1. Sim likes H1 very slightly better.

#note Plays along C8 like VAIN or VAIR are better.

>Jason_Vaysberg: AAEEMNP L2 P.NAMA +20 336
#note L2 PEA is best. Sets up 2 15 point out plays with O2 PEAN/NAME and 11H AMEN.

If he plays GONZO, then I underlap AMEN. His best move therefore is 1K ZOOM, to which I grab my 15 and out and net 4 spread points over the PANAMA sequence I chose.
>Michael_Ecsedy: GLMNOOZ 11G GONZO +36 428
>Jason_Vaysberg: EE 6A .EE +14 350
#note Frustrating game, but I'm generally happy with how I played other than the overdraw.
