I feel torn between NOW and NOWT at c2, but I go for NOWT. I hate to part with the T, but it's an extra shot at an E or S, and keeps the spread at 30, where we still have an outside chance of winning without a bingo.
I vote for NOWT. 1877.

"I vote for A14 AX and my rating is 1800." is a good example, "I think like A14 AX looks like the best play." is a bad one. If you have more to say about why you chose your play (and that is the point of this exercise), send your message to CGP. If not, private e-mail to me is fine. In either case, you should receive an acknowledgement of your vote from me soon after I receive it. If you don't receive an acknowledgement, send me the vote again. When you do receive the acknowledgement, check to make sure I've recorded the right vote for you. Remember, A14 is a vertical play, 14A is a horizontal play. If you include commentary about your play, it may end up in the CGP archive, even if you send it privately to me. If you don't want your message included in the archive, please say so in the message.
