The message is I pretty much suck at the mid to late game. If I get a good starting position I can take out a player of average ability fairly quickly, or a player of even good ability if they have a particularly bad starting position. But without a good starting position I am useless. And regardless of starting position in a game that Last much past 75 turns I almost always lose.

I guess I commented on it because Cheese sounded like it was looking reallll bad. It's nice to see a game turn around like that, though. (no bad feelings intended, Geo ).

If you look at a KOTH game like a chess game, then I would have to say I tend to be average (or so) during the opening. A little less good during the middle game. But best at the end game (the fewer pieces on the gameboard, the more I am able to recognize important squares and pieces). The trouble with my analagy is defining the opening, middle, and endgame in KOTH.
