This became Mike's highest loss ever, taking over his previous high loss of 479 (to a winning score of 526) in a game played at the Coral Gables (Miami, FL) Club in 2003. There is a problem with this achievement in that a few days after the game was played, it was discovered there was an addition error made by both players, and Mike's score was incorrectly boosted by 10 points.
Instead of playing the phony triple-triple SORdIDER, Mike should have played its acceptable anagram dISORDER or the equivalent word mISORDER in the same place. SORDIDER is acceptable in Collins.
Instead of playing QADI, Seth would have gotten a lot more points by playing QUAD at h12.
