This Saturday the Dutch National Championsship stratego took place. There were a lot more participants than the years before and we had a great time!

Tim managed to get the double this year (after the WC) and won with equal points as Pim but better buchpoints. New on the top on gravon, Hielco got the 3th place and proved to be one of the best, also on the real battlefield, off-line!

Thanks, Ruben. Lightwing's consistency never ceases to amaze me, especially considering the luck factor and the reality that several players in those competitions do not make many mistakes. Playa1 is also quite consistent but he does not play online and I suspect it is because he does not want other players getting used to his style/tendencies.

Of course, when i think about Playa1, I cannot help but recall a game when I had him bloodied on the ropes in a game, but I had to go to work. I asked him to forfeit because he had no chance at all but instead, he began to stall each and every turn, knowing that I would have to leave Gravon to go to work. I did not expect such poor sportsmanship from him but I guess the beating that I gave him, was so demoralizing, that he simply wasn't in the right state of mind. Some speculate that this thrashing was the reason why he stopped playing here and the bone shaking fear that he might run into me again on the gamefield. When I consider how devastatingly evident my higher intellect was in that game, I consider it a miracle that Playa1 can somehow summon up the nerve to play in competitions but I guess, he knows that I won't be there. If I showed up one day, I would expect him to suddenly and unexplainably, revoke his participation in the event.

Beloved fans, it is a good thing that these euro tournaments continue but lets put them in perspective and remember that without King Sadi, how valid are they, really?

The graphics are so bad on that youtube video, that you will go blind trying to watch it. If you wish to make an interesting video, place a camcorder aiming at my house and watch what happens when I leave my house. Young and beautiful women, rush out from behind neighborhood bushes, garbage cans and sheds, disrobe themselves and offer their goods to your hero.

Only a putz would waste his time watching two nerds grope over a board game.

For only his first live tournament, Hielco did extremely well. I expect him to become more dominant in the next few tournaments, if he participates.

He was 5 last year.
That was his second tournament.
