Mike's opponent was an experienced novice player whose strength is variable. Mike opened the game with bingos on his first two plays, and he then played two more on moves 6 and 7. His other bingos were on moves 11 and 14. His opponent did a lot of trading and passing in this game, and she maybe made a challenged phony or two. Mike's records did not note a reason for each of the seven 0-point plays. His opponent passed a few times when her rack was very good, but she found no good plays. One became available after Mike opened up a high-scoring spot for her Q.
