Beating Stef is not hard. Beating him consistently is.

Play good Dominion. Don't be afraid to mirror. Don't be afraid to non-mirror. Don't panic and green too early or get complacent and build too long. Just do everything right.

Shoot him with the bow when he opens his eye, while rolling away when he prepares an attack. Do it three times and you're good.

...I wonder how many more unhelpful answers we can come up with.

Try to play at a time when you're in a good mental state. Make sure you have eaten and slept well beforehand. Don't be too exhausted. Remain hydrated. Recent mild workout and fresh air is also nice. Try not to have other things in your life that will stress you during the game (or at least find a good way to ignore them).

Well apparently it went Stef 4-2 Polk5440

It occurs to me that Stef could have been reading all of this advice as well. Maybe we should have been sending PM's to Polk instead (Iet it be known that I am only being half-serious here).

My advice read his logs, watch his videos and videos of other top players. Also, play the board like you would normally.

He did +1 Donald's post....

Anyway, it was a good match; I felt like I played pretty close to my best given my current skill level and the match did feel within reach. I played a little sloppy at times -- there were definitely opportunities for me to put together an upset!

And SCSN will be happy to know the 6 games clocked in at "only"  2 hours and 40 minutes.

Is there any way to find out your record vs. someone?

I think my record vs. Stef is pretty reasonable. In fact, I think I do better against higher ranked players than mediocre players.
Maybe it's because I know I have to play my A game and thus play more focused and pay more attention.

With mediocre / unknown players I'm more likely to be goofing around.

I think you can search by player on gokosalvager.

I did and it appears I only have one game against him, which I lost; so my memory is failing me here; I thought I had played more against him and at least won some games.

Actually you do — you can tell what one should avoid doing when playing against Stef.

Wow he has played almost 4,000 games and is only level 29. That's no sock-puppet account.

Yeah I know, but when I see the actual Stef, we usually chat a bit because we're both from the Netherlands and have played each other in the Dutch tournaments a few years ago, so I'm more likely to remember those games.

That being said, I took a big break a while ago so I might still be remembering Isotropic games. :D
