L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2

[gamerman01]

Good point - I just had to stop the advance for a turn I thought, but I’m still screwed. I’m just trying to bait you into poor moves, that’s all I got at this point.

Of course I’m using gamesmanship and playing mind games with every post… :grinning:

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Haha!! To be honest, I am quite confident in my German defense game. I think, currently you are unable to land anywhere safely. I’m gonna double check ;)

Sorry for delay, work is more intense right now and pretty much against my wishes my weekend is pretty full, but maybe I’ll squeak it in somewhere. I haven’t played anyone this week either, so not just avoiding this game, although I probably should be :dancers:

Maybe it will be time to quit when I look at Russia, maybe not. I’m pretty sure that Ukraine battle was the game - I realize most players wouldn’t see it that way but I do

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 I fully understand, also the playoff games need to take precedence.

You mean in addition to everything else then? If things move along in the same manner, the Ukrainian battle will definitely help speed things up. I agree there.

[gamerman01]

Hard times in some other places, thanks for the acknowledgement, but Ukraine was the dagger. I knew the Russian front was my best chance, now I can’t even show my stuff :D

[gamerman01]

This is probably not all that hard a move, just gotta sit down and do it

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Of course!

[gamerman01]

Hmm, an unconventional option presents itself. I’ll have to do some more analysis later
