#player2 Mike Mike
>Aldo: ADOTY 8H TOADY +26 26
>Mike: EHNOTUU 7H UH +20 20
#note YOUTH L8 is probably a hair better, but this worked out.
>Aldo: ACW 9G CAW +31 57
>Mike: ??ENOTU K4 aUTO.yNE +78 98
>Aldo: IIUU -IIUU +0 57
>Mike: DEEGGJN 4J J.GGED +34 132
#note Virtually tied with JEED L1. The J on 1L is too easily hit, though, and GGN isn't my idea of a dynamic leave, especially on this board.
>Aldo: EPRX J11 PREX +33 90
>Mike: AEINNOP O1 PON. +21 153
#note I can't read my notes clearly, but if this is my actual rack, DIPNOAN O4 is a huge improvement.
>Aldo: EFU I13 FEU +28 118
>Mike: AEINNSU L10 UNAI +15 168
>Aldo: AV 15G VA. +18 136
>Mike: EILNOST M11 TIN +18 186
#note In a straight sim, LOG M2 is best. Inferring EIRS on his rack (seems reasonable), it still wins (by a lesser margin). I'm not sure I agree.
>Aldo: DEINORS G1 ROSINED +70 206
>Mike: BELOOSY 1C SOBE.LY +39 225
#note Missed LOOEY F2, which not only scores better and plays better defense, it sets up the B!
>Aldo: EW F1 .WE +29 235
>Mike: AIKLOOS 6K .OOK +18 243
#note Or KOI/KOA N13, or OKA 2I. They're all pretty equal.
>Aldo: AET 7M EAT +13 248
>Mike: AEILMSS N2 MA. +20 263
#note Or SI 8N.
>Aldo: AB 8N BA +27 275
>Mike: AEILLSS C1 .AILLESS +68 331
>Aldo: AZ B2 ZA +46 321
>Mike: DEEFIIL B6 FIELD +38 369
>Aldo: EHT A7 THE +41 362
>Mike: EIIIMRV D3 MI +17 386
#note I actually strongly considered passing here; whoever gets the Q appears to be stuck with it, twist and turn as they may. However, I was worried I could get counter-stuck with the C or V and be unable to win the endgame. As long as I don't draw the Q right here, the lead should be safe--and even if I do, I might be able to outrun the Q stick. Quackle suggests RIFE 13G, but why give him a bailout?
>Aldo: ORT D8 TOR +12 374
>Mike: CEGIIRV 11C VIG +18 404
>Aldo: INQRR 4F R.N +11 385
>Mike: CEIR D8 ....C +14 418
#note Quackle wants me to just play out with CERIC.
>Aldo: IQR 6F R. +4 389
>Mike: EIR E5 REI +9 427
#note Now it's wrong to play out! FER 6B is thirteen better (proof left to the reader).
>Mike: (IQ) +22 449
