A lopsided vote (7-1) so I'm ending it early.
I peeked at the bot results before posting, so no vote or analysis from me this time.
I'd like to encourage participants to say why they're voting the way they are - the discussion is the main reason why these matches are interesting. Of course, it's perfectly acceptable to vote without saying why.
rollouts coming as soon as Z makes his take decision.

Another play where 2-ply analysis and 0-ply rollout disagree. Both say it's a blunder to hold the cube, analysis says clear take, rollout says clear pass.
These positions are tricky. (c:
