In this game, I'm playing against an elite player and totally luck into what feels like a dominating position. Yet somehow the game ends up being nail-bitingly close and I nearly blow it. Part of me thinks that it came down to that because if I hadn't aggressively gone to end the game quickly and built more instead that it would give him time to get multi-possession and just pile out. The other part of me, in my gut, feels I just horribly misplayed and nearly lost a game I should have won decisively.
I'd like some advice and feedback about what you all think of this board and how the game actually went down. Actually achieving the upper hand against a good player just isn't good enough...one also needs to be able to take the reins of the big engine and properly drive it.
