This was the single most impressive win I've seen by someone. Ever. Like, I was so completely blindsided by this one it's not even funny. The game was played a few weeks ago, so I can't remember exactly how it was played or the thought processes going through my head at the time. All I remember is that I thought I had the game on 100% lock, but then my opponent did some sort of Madman megaturn in which they Ironworks'ed all the remaining Tunnels and Estates for a 3-pile win. After the game, I remember getting up from my computer, walking around the room talking out loud about how that could have happened, how incredibly good elite players actually are, and the weird things they can see that others don't.
So ya, I just wanted to save this log for future reference, and give credit to my opponent for one of the most impressive 3-pile endings I've ever seen. Like, I don't even care about talking optimal strategies here, or getting better at Dominion, or how Knights kind of suck. This was just one of those games that makes you feel like all what you've learned has been in vain because you will, inevitably, get destroyed by someone from Japan.
