Like I have been saying for ages; Lighty is the greatest stratego player ever. Damn shame this site won't act more fairly and allow him to come back. Besides, the way females have been swarming me here, I could use some backup.
P.S. Did Stratego (Dieter) present Lighty with the glorious award and if so, does anybody have pics?

For those wondering about the presence of Hielco (Freddy Krueger), there is a rumor that he stumbled upon a carefully placed jumbo bag of marshmallows outside the WC building entrance and could not resist. By the time the beloved Gravonian awakened from his belly-up sugar coma, the tournament was over, with Lighty the Great taking the top honors and furthering his legendary status as the best ever. It's a damn shame, because I believe that Hielco could have possibly broken into the top 7, if he played perfectly. |

For those wondering about the person behind the marshmallows, it was me . Pictures can be found via www.strategobond.nl . It is callled "fotos" in Dutch. Lightwing is very good, but it wasnt easy for him. Competition is great! |

The fact that it wasn't easy, merely makes his victory more impressive. This dutch fellow continues to prevail under extreme pressure, time and again. You euros really do not have much to celebrate these days and if you had any sense, you would be boasting of Lighty and bowing down to him as your bastion of euro pride.
Banning Lighty from Gravon is the equivalent of locking the Boxing Hall of Fame doors on Muhammad Ali. Lighty is amazing. Damn near brings a tear to my eye that I tutored him when he was just beginning his teen years.
Tell me, Ruben; did he utilize one of the classic King Sadi hoodazzlery moves when it counted most? OMG, something tells me he did. |

I like Joe Frazier more. No Sadi tricks against me, only lotto. With barrage he used some Sadi techniques though.
