Final result: Mark V. 65 - 69 Sid

This match reminded me of a sentence from Qijing Shisanpian = The
Classic of Weiqi [i.e. the game of go] in Thirteen Chapters:
"If he is able to work out who will win while the game is still being
played, he has calculated well. If he is not able to work this out, he
has calculated badly. If he does not know who is the winner and who is
the loser at the end of the game, he has made no calculations at all!"
Mark has calculated well!

Well played, Sid! You sucked up all the LWs, including two who were
flexible enough to play elsewhere. Great strategy!!!

Thanks! Good game. When we were done with the first few picks, I was
convinced that you had picked much better defenders than I was left
with. I had picked the first 2-3 up front based on who I knew. When I
researched the remaining, I found the opportunity to close out the
left, but I was still sure that this bit of defence would only narrow
the point gap. Catenaccio works sometimes.
