This week's playbook focuses on board control so you can make stronger choices under time pressure.

This week, focus on board control before chasing peak score on every turn. Small structural decisions create consistent wins over long matches.
Generate three candidate plays, then compare immediate points, rack leave, and what premium squares you open for the opponent.
Run post-game review on only two critical turns where momentum shifted. This keeps analysis practical and repeatable.
Repeat this routine for five games and track one KPI: how often your chosen move matches your best two-turn expected outcome.
