Going for a win, end game strategy. At the very end, if you are not winning, but close, you can try throwing a Hail Mary pass where you attempt a manuever with little chance of success but with a big payback (lots of points) in the hope that it will propel you into first place. You just never know what will work. Hail Mary passes were so named for their use in American football. The quarterback, late in the game with little time left, would call a play that had little chance of success, say a 'Hail Mary' prayer and attempt it. More Techniques at > The Foldit Labs
