“Despite starting with 6 vs 10, I actually could have won this match. After a few turns, it was 6 vs 6 on the pitch and I had control. However, my real life started intervening, and this meant I wasn't barely looking at the screen let alone thinking about things. First I mis-moved my big guy, meaning a GFI was needed to execute my original plan. I was better off leaving him a square short but, not thinking, went for it, he fell, 1-0, and things started getting worse. A blitz meant it was a quickfire 2-0, and then real life took over and Bert was kind enough to run the clock down as I had no choice but to leave immediately.

Hope to meet you again on the pitch soon Bert, and next time I'll make sure there's nothing to distract me!”
