>Steve: DIRRSSX N8 SIX +40 66
>Epstein: EINRSTU K6 UN.ITERS +70 89
#note 20 points less than the 2x2 anagram
>Steve: DDFRRRS -DDFRR +0 66
>Epstein: EEEHINO 12I HE.OIN +18 107
#note Championship player plays off the duplicate E for an extra four points. It's understandable for Paul to keep it, but a lengthy sim doesn't change anything. In fact, the second best play is EO(S)INE, even tho it only scores 14.
>Steve: ENOORST 11C ENROOTS +69 135
#note 11D OESTRON(E) scores an additional four points. Board vision mistake.
>Epstein: EEELMWY 10F WYE +37 144
>Steve: AAAINOS D10 A.OA +8 143
#note ASANA at O11 scores a whopping 29 points, but with an inferior leave. I may have recognized the word, but certainly didn't know it. OTOH, my play is only 2nd best in a sim by a tiny bit, given the powerful leave.
>Epstein: ?EEGLMY O12 ELMY +41 185
#note Paul misses bingos worth 99 and 97 points that both play from 13B. Tough find, but costly miss, nevertheless.
>Steve: AEILNST H1 STEALIN. +80 223
>Epstein: ?BEGIQR G6 QI +26 211
>Steve: ?ADFJNR C10 F.ND +29 252
>Epstein: ?BDEGRT 3B BuDGET.R +76 287
>Steve: ?ADIJOR 13F JIAO +20 272
#note Q likes taking the points with 2H (T)AJ, but I like keeping more bingo lines open at this score.
>Epstein: BEGHKLU H13 .UK +21 308
#note 2f HUT

>Epstein: ABEGHLN 2F HA. +29 337
>Steve: ?EILORV D1 VI.E +24 326
#note My first bonehead mistake of the game. Looked very hard for the bingo starting with the S at the top, but couldn't find it. Never even considered looking for a monster bingo ending in K, which I missed, but at least I didn't try to get away with OVERLIKE.
>Epstein: BEEGLNT I2 E.G +14 351
>Steve: ?ELOORT 15D bROO.LET +61 387
>Epstein: BCDELNT E3 .LEB +16 367
#note I didn't think this was good, but didn't want to risk a challenge since I saw the path to a win.
>Steve: AADEPUV 7B DEVA +17 404
>Epstein: CDNRTUW - +0 367
#note Paul with a desperate challenge. 14H (U)RD scores 23
