I vote for AX a14. I think there are fewer winning chances with EX instead of E at the top of column O, tho we might win by more when we win. The S hook has been sitting around for too long - our chances of hitting it keep lessening. It's not yet time to do something stupid without good points in return, and that applies just as much to leaving a big hook as creating one. And the E is still a better tile than the A. I think I like B1 UVEAL about as much as 2N EX. Volatility, yes, when behind. But not when your chances of benefitting are less than half of your opponent's. I suspect C14 XU will sim surprisingly close to all three of these plays. Leave, leave, leave.
