#note Wow VI(SCUMS) is pretty sick and is by far the sim winner. It also likes M9 DIVING more than this, though I'm less sure about that.

#note FOY 11D blocks some edge case bingoes and sets up my T. It's worth the 3 points and is about 6% better than this.
However, the best play here is YO(N) 15G. The most important thing here is endgame timing and minimizing the chance that Matthew goes out in the next 2 turns.
>Matthew: AEEEGNU 12D EUGEN.A +18 415
#note Great idea by Matthew here. He has the case E and sees that i'm unlikely to be able to score well given the tile pool. If he can draw an out play then he'll have a chance to win. YO(N) last turn would have greatly reduced that chance by leaving 4 in the bag instead of 3 and FOY D11 would have blocked this play. I got distracted by the score line when that was the least important thing about this position.
>Ben: AGINOOT C1 TA.OOING +62 479
#note The nut draw.
