man rokakoma... what is up with you and winning all of these large-pot games?

:D :D, I wasn't expecting to wing this one, but I was lucky to get a noobish Germany ;)

Gratz Roka!! You definitely Wong this all!! ;)

Seems rude to say I played terribly. I'm clearly not as experienced as you but no need to be ungracious in your win. Thanks everyone else for a fun game.

Splintered: I didn't want to be rude, sorry, but the fact is you were the only one in the last two years who could have stopped me, and you didn't. For me, that counts as bad play. Sorry, I didn't want to offend you, but my win is 100% because your lack of experience.

Which is of course part of the game, and noone is experienced after a few games for sure. Also I don't blame you being unexperienced, because, hopefully, it's just a temporary state. I hope you can learn a lot from this game, and the next ones.

I just stated the fact, it was because of you. Maybe the word terribly is not the best choice of mine, sorry if it was insulting, I apologize.

slyster, thanx Mang!

Learning opportunity - when someone is a solo threat, find the 17 centre stalemate line that you can guarantee and immediately fall back to it. No sense spreading your forces to defend 6 or seven centres when you only need 4 of them. SPread yourself out and you might lose them all.
