Reports on online games and their confirmations (Autumn 2009 season).

AliaSmehova (red, Tavern, Ain, Tazar) def Loi (blue, Castle, Valeska, Kir), 2smd4(3), 134.

We played with breaks, so I'll write in general terms... I remember struggling for the first 10 days, trying hard. And then I switched to my usual pace (when you build, don't focus on secondary objectives, farm resources, and start pushing from the early third stage) - but it doesn't work with Alex. I needed to push hard as soon as I gathered troops and go all-in on the third stage... I decided to wait a couple of days, playing comfortably - and the red player quickly outplayed Kir. I rushed there, hoping that the pressure would lead to mistakes - but there were none. I was completely outplayed.
Thanks for the game and the valuable analysis afterward.
