I just played this board with vsiewnar today as part of the league. I opened Potion/Chapel to my opponent's TMap/Chapel, which I understand is viable. We both ignore Ambassador in the face of Chapel. I plan on building a Scrying Pool "engine" of sorts, picking up a Pirate Ship along the way to deal with TMap collision. I considered Tactician but never got around to it as I needed to start scrambling for points once vsiewnar picked up a 3-0 Province lead. I end up trashing my Potion once I get 4 Pools as at that point I'm either buying money or green. I start catching up and hit a few golds and we tie, at a point buying Estate after Estate until I can purchase the last Province to eke it out.

I don't know what is optimal here, but we were both pretty sure we made some mistakes and could've built something tighter. Did I get very lucky for it to be this close? What would you have done?

Treasure Map is not viable in this kingdom. Even SP + Pirate Ship will beat it.

I think you just want to open ambassador / silver and transition into smithy BM or like single tactician and BM. Treasure Map doesn't seem too smart just because your opponent could do Pirate Ship, although I don't think Pirate Ship is very good here, otherwise.

I have been forced to accept that lackluster play is a town tell for you.

I don't think it's that obvious. The moats can be really good defense here.

I think vsiewnar's biggest mistake was buying Duchies (and especially estates) over golds.

Moats are rarely good defense in 2-player Dominion, and they are even less so when there aren't +actions in the kingdom.
