>Matt_Canik: (E) +2 475
#note This game was incorrectly scored officially has 475-419.
The missed bingo and challenged phony lost this game. Other than that, a suboptimal opening is the only real mistake. 11 of my 13 plays are in the top 4. 12 in the top 8. Overall, I give myself a B-/C+ this game.

Matt missed a bingo. 12 and possibly 13 of his 14 plays are in the top 6. I give him a B+.
