17 Dec 21 UTC	Spring, 1906: What a comeback. I can see that you know this map very well
18 Dec 21 UTC	My victory now depends on a good guess. If I guess wrongly, you'll better your position.
18 Dec 21 UTC	That's right
18 Dec 21 UTC	Congrats :)
18 Dec 21 UTC	It all depended on the Black sea.
18 Dec 21 UTC	I liked this game.
18 Dec 21 UTC	Me too. I think I got better, didn't I? Still wasn't enough to beat you, but this game I started to really understand some important tactics.
18 Dec 21 UTC	The first two years were good, but you should have used Trieste. You could either have blocked Vienna or supported Venice to Tyrolia. There are no moves I think are particullarly bad. I think I wouldn't have moved the fleet to Ionian in year 3, but it's okay. I don't think there was a loosing move for you, one, that cost you the game out of stupidity. Some bad guesses. Maybe Serbia to Romania is bad when you could have used Serbia to hold.
18 Dec 21 UTC	In those 1v1 games I most of the times prefer holding the front to conquering centers. A thing I do is looking at how many builds I can do and if I would conquer more centers than I could use for additional builds, I don't do it, if the units can be put to a different use. You see I did take Holland and Denmark very late in the game even though they are super close to home. because there would be no use in taking them earlier, as the number of builds is limited by 3, sometimes when Munich/Venice are blocked even to 2. So I move my troops further along the map. For Germany, Denmark, Holland and the British Centers are centers to take only at the end to get over the treshhold. For Italy the Turkish Centers. No need to send units to Trukey, rather use them to hold the front. In your case I would not have moved Serbia to Rumania, but used it to hold Trieste and move Bulgaria to Romania. Turkey can be taken later, it's important to not loose at the Balkans.
