XDAP-02 WeWin vs BoldDutch

Sorry, was late in responding to your latest PM in our flurry of exchanges.

You made some good points about sz125 and I’d support a move there. You’ve convinced me that that’s a solid move and I withdraw my dissenting voice. I apologize for the change and I’ll leave it up to you if you want to stay in sz124 or move back to sz125. Or you can stick with the compromise at sz124.

Sounds like a challenge that I’ll accept. Saw your message about not being able to make it out next time around, sorry to hear that. But I’m sure we’ll clash swords at some point. Just as an fyi; I consider Chris, Bryan, another Brian, and myself to be the in the top tier of A&Aers at the group.

Dave’s pretty strong too when he’s in his element and I would consider him 1A. The only hole in his game is he’s too safe so you can take risks against him that you might not take against other players knowing he won’t hit you unless he’s got great odds. The two Br(y/i)ans I’m talking about sadly don’t make it out on a regular basis and they weren’t out there this past saturday. Jury is still out on you, but from what I’ve seen I’m 99% you’d fall into that top tier as well. The only person I really try to stay away from as a partner is Jeff. His play style’s way too reckless, he doesn’t really take advice, and tends to blame his partner if they lose. I like being aggressive, but it’s controlled aggression. But he leaves pieces out to be whacked with no counter and doesn’t really think ahead. He’s also the only person I know of who’s had Tokyo itself captured twice on US2. (TWICE)

And I’m talking about the bald Dave who’s the manager of the suites we were at and not the David Shankey we faced. David’s pretty decent, but he never plays global outside the group and he’s only made it out 2-3 times since April. So he gets rusty and overlooks things from time to time. And like you saw, once he’s down he tends to throw things at you regardless of the odds hoping something will stick and turn the game around.

The german mechanics are making sure there are plenty of grease in all the bearings…

No big fancy speech from Churchill or anything? C’mon, rally the troops.

getting ready to rumble…
