Move 204

[17:46] buzzsaw[8k]: what is the haha for?

[17:46] eurosteev[6k]: where you almost lost against Al yesterday, in not securing your terr.

[17:47] buzzsaw[8k]: oh so you are looking at that game

[17:47] buzzsaw[8k]: yeah but lucky for me I was far enough ahead.

[17:47] eurosteev[6k]: in the cga league. you lost your bottom right corner

[17:47] buzzsaw[8k]: Are you reading my blog?

[17:47] buzzsaw[8k]: Yeah I know that

[17:47] eurosteev[6k]: I was there watching the game!

[17:48] buzzsaw[8k]: That is nice. I like how people watch each other's games.

[17:48] buzzsaw[8k]: It makes it nice.

[17:48] eurosteev[6k]: just saying, that you should know when to hold em, know when to fold em...

[17:49] buzzsaw[8k]: So is that a snarky suggestion that I not finish the game?

[17:49] eurosteev[6k]: I mean don't take chances just to grab one or two points if it might cost you the game

[17:49] eurosteev[6k]: I'm really not trying to be snarky, sorry igf it sounds like that

[17:50] buzzsaw[8k]: I like to take the opportunity to play and count in tournament games.

[17:50] buzzsaw[8k]: I understand what you are saying about not taking chances

[17:50] eurosteev[6k]: I'd like to see you win your last games in the open, and not lose them

[17:51] buzzsaw[8k]: In games I am ahead in the future I will play more conservatively

[17:51] buzzsaw[8k]: and look for places to defend

[17:51] eurosteev[6k]: AI, not al but ai plays the winning move not the biggest

[17:51] buzzsaw[8k]: In reference to the league game with Al, I was actually trying to trust my reading as my teacher had told me to do. I should have played chicken instead

[17:52] eurosteev[6k]: I know the feeling, and have also lost won games :)

[17:52] buzzsaw[8k]: I'm going to count if that is not annoying :-)

[17:53] eurosteev[6k]: np

[18:00] buzzsaw[8k]: You are very nice.

[18:00] eurosteev[6k]: thank you

[18:00] eurosteev[6k]: I try to be

[18:00] eurosteev[6k]: sorry for the haha earlier

[18:00] buzzsaw[8k]: I totally messed up on the right by extending too far and the game went down hill from there

[18:00] eurosteev[6k]: hard to judge texting sometimes

[18:00] buzzsaw[8k]: Yeah, actually the haha hurt my feelings.

[18:01] buzzsaw[8k]: when I found out what it was about because that seemed mean.

[18:01] eurosteev[6k]: I take it back then

[18:01] buzzsaw[8k]: thanks

[18:01] eurosteev[6k]: just want to pass on my 'experience' of losing won games by going for that extra point!

[18:02] buzzsaw[8k]: I do appreciate that advice, but it might be better after the game than in the middle of it, but I am not accustomed to chatting during tournaments so that is new to me.

[18:02] eurosteev[6k]: of course, s/t you don't know the score

[18:02] eurosteev[6k]: and don't want to give up anything

[18:03] buzzsaw[8k]: If I have enough time I often know the score because I do tend to count.

[18:03] buzzsaw[8k]: overtime is a $*!% though

[18:03] eurosteev[6k]: and i don't, but should

[18:03] buzzsaw[8k]: there are a few more dame

[18:04] eurosteev[6k]: don't have to fill them

Move 224

[18:04] buzzsaw[8k]: if you do not want to you do not have to except in AGA rules they count

Move 226

[18:04] buzzsaw[8k]: It won't win the game for me but it will add an extra point for each dame
