[HMM II OFF TOURNAMENT] 7th stage of the annual Van Kanigem tournament

Regarding the ROUND ROBIN – I’m not sure… I haven’t actually become a better player since last year. I just didn’t approach problem-solving systematically before. I played without scouting. Still, as a legacy of my local multiplayer battles at work, I have trouble with diplomacy. And, most importantly, I can’t force myself to replay from the very beginning. So, given that my opponents have enough time, my place is from 3rd to 5th. I’ve been told many times that I play very well, if in chess terms, when I have a material advantage. That is, in the context of Heroes, when a lot of factors are already interacting. But I don’t reach that point correctly. I was shocked by how badly I started the game in the 2nd joint match in Heroes II. And I almost won. Just now, in Heroes I, the same situation happened, and I even had a preliminary victory. If you’re interested, take a look. Yesterday, I realized that I could play according to my plan one day faster. If it weren’t for vbn’s participation, I would have simply said that the opponents played poorly, and that’s why I won.
