#note I didn't think UNUSABLY was good! That's the play.

#note Not sure I saw this at M8, though I kind of liked this blocking the N. But perhaps I'm better off playing this at M8, or JOLE at 8L, which I did see.

#note Wondered if OLEA or ALOE at 14H could be good. Maybe WOE 10M to block? Or maybe this is fine.

#note Added 11/9/22: I played this roughly because it blocked bingos and didn't open an S hook on column H, maybe also because it scored OK. Also I think I felt Q sticking me was somewhat awkward for him, because, I thought, it would require him making a low-scoring 12A play. Of course, what I missed were column C plays. Indeed, I could've played one, like M(I)LE, myself. I'm still unclear on what the right play here is though - blocking bingos and the 3I QI spot *might* have merit. Maybe I want to play MO K2 instead, to leave two QI spots open, though the low score seems undesirable, and I'm still unclear on which side of Q blocking I want to be on. (also, maybe row 2 is theoretically a better bingo lane after MO than after MILO, but it requries Steve to find possibly tough nines ... I haven't actually looked at the exact bingos available, though)

#note This might be the weirdest result I've seen from Champ - it lists a few non-outplays as winning, all by a bit more than 6B outs, but then lists two ties and a bunch of *losses*. 6B outs don't show up anywhere on the list. Maybe it just gets lazier once it finds a win? It would be funny if one could slightly modify this endgame to one where Champ loses only because it chooses a non-out.
