Why dont you play like that more often?
When it gets to late game and we have both broken each others bonus and it's a street fight - I tend to not do very well there vs good players. Vs bad players I just wait for them to make dumb mistakes and I usually win but with good players I'm the one who ends up messing up eventually.
That didn't happen in this game. Though it's hard for me to figure out what worked here and what doesn't work normally.
