Satellite Tournament #1 for CIS 2017, Volgograd.

You're talking to someone who was in the top 100 in the world on fixed maps back in the day, when the number of active players was still measured in the thousands. Of course, it wasn't top 1 like Antal or Flam, but it was still a decent level. And I'm telling you, as someone with experience, that some maps were played to the point of exhaustion, right down to the last tile, to the point of reaching the opponent. I don't remember the names, it was about 15 years ago. I remember one where you had to get in a boat and sail across the water to take a hidden treasure. Everything was strictly planned down to the last tile for the dungeon. And in the tournament in St. Petersburg against Matrosov, I personally implemented a plan that wasn't based on the "current situation," but rather on a specific, well-prepared strategy, where the mage goes to the opponent's base from the first day, leveling up in all the houses for magic and picking up chests, and kills the light creature in the early second week. And I don't care about the current situation. And on Desert War, with the relic (+6 to everything, I think), the game is played with almost perfect accuracy down to the last tile (well, with some minor variations for the less skilled players). And all of this is prepared before the game starts. This is what always annoyed me about tournament fixed maps. :D
