My, my, it’s that time of the week already! Let’s get to it.
I got dragged in a contest. That hadn’t happened in a long time 
I ended #136 (so upper Gold), quite better than I expected considering the experience lag I’m starting to accumulate in multis.
As for strategy, I’ve got the same run-of-the-mill BFS that I streamed get me out of Wood-1, just faster, deeper, and with an actually reasonable heuristic. I simulated a single opponent step maximizing finisher moves.
I also wrote a more in-depth postmortem if you really must know.
