Comments on last move: ABDELOU  b13 PUD +12
PUD is a well-calculated set-up play.  Paul is hoping to draw the tiles "AR" or "ER" to form a triple-triple word score. This move highlights a key difference between current computer players vs. humans.  Interestingly, game analysis software ranks Paul's move as 224th best. But human players take the "bigger picture" into account.  Paul has found the ONLY play which gives him a genuine chance of winning the game overall.
