Byes in division 2 and probable transcription and arithmetic errors account
for the fact that the spreads don't add to 0.
I don't have any spectacular tales of crucial plays to account for my 10-1 record. I had my share of bad racks, got exactly half of the blanks, 23 of 44 esses and 6 of 11 exes. I think it really comes down to not making too many mistakes. No spectacular bingos to report, although NUDISTS + B (B in 1st position) and AAHINS? + D were reasonably good finds. I might post more comments tomorrow if I can find any interesting game positions.
