CSW Preendgame #17

Score: 383-341
Pool: ADNNOOORT

Opponent’s options: DONATOR o7 (101), column a bingos
Potential plays on next turn: Irrelevant: ADNOORT is the only concern

Subgoal: Prepare a plan in case your opponent has ADNOORT, both this turn and next turn (if applicable)

Resolution: The best way to combat this rack is to play IONIZER 14f (16), allowing you to play FEUS o6 (41) next turn and outscoring column a bingos.
