>Cesar: ADLRTTU 6D DUAL +19 33
#note i was beating myself up for chickening out on DURAL but apparently that's even worse. this situation is very tough for me, i can't ever balance points and leave properly. but in situations like this, i don't necessarily need to go for a longer word, the simple 6E TUT sims best. leaves are important earlier especially. DUAL gives more back and i score less after it. how do i make myself see that? (-9)

>Elizabeth: ILMNSSU L3 MUSLINS +79 141
>Cesar: EILLNNR 9C LINEN +19 78
#note ok, heads up. OBVIOUSLY this move is extremely important. i need to catch up fast. i spent some time on this, but not enough. the problem is that i believe there are no other words besides LINEN or LIN at the bottom left. LINEN is only 1.6 pts behind LINN, but it is IMPERATIVE to find LINN! how do i do it????????
>Elizabeth: ACHP 8A CHAP +51 192
#note no!!!
>Cesar: AEFLORT 10E OF +28 106
#note it's easy to overlap, but i have a shot at a bingo and it scores.
>Elizabeth: IOPTV 11B PIVOT +32 224
>Cesar: AELNNRT C7 R..L.NE +16 122
#note this seriously has to be a joke. time to make a suboptimal creative play that might result in an S hook or something. 5C NAN might be more sensical. -0.3%

>Cesar: ?ACEENT K9 ENACTEd +68 220
#note i was mad at the end of the game for not having more pATIENCE. turns out she would have done BRAZErS then. -4
>Elizabeth: ABRZ 14J Z.BRA +72 323
#note scrabble really is not for the faint of heart. i am proud of having no reaction at all to this play, though.

>Elizabeth: ADE 15H DEA. +23 346
>Cesar: ADEIOTT 1F AT.ETOID +63 322
#note ok, my only chance now is to somehow will her into challenging this word as much as i can, but ethically. i have no idea how to do that. i had about 10 minutes on my clock, so i thought i could waste a minute or so and then just plop it down, as if i was trying to give myself the guts to try a desperate phony. what's the best way to get an opponent to challenge?
>Elizabeth: ENOS O12 NOSE +32 378
>Cesar: EEEGORW N2 WE +26 348
#note -20 to VERGE, but i don't believe it. i could draw EROGEnIC and have a tiny chance of getting to play it. but i don't think theres any way to draw a bingo in two spots.
