After thinking about this a bit, I don’t really see any reason to drag it out, regardless of how much it pains me to resign in round 6 :) The next round opponent is waiting so you may as well get to it.

It was a conscious decision to take extra risks to try to make up for the high bid and my deficit in skill level, so I can’t really be too upset about how it turned out. I botched Japan again as well, which tends to happen when I play experienced players, so thanks for that lesson!

Well played and good luck in the rest of the playoffs :)

[gamerman01]

Thank you, bmnielsen, and good game to you too
You’re a great sport and a pleasant person to play with, so much appreciated.  Now get out there and win a bunch of 2016 games!  See you at the top, and maybe in next years’ playoff
I will consider Rome and Z95 avenged  :-)
