tournament games #3424-3443

I somehow managed to play nobody seeded higher than 7th last weekend, which wouldn't shock me if it were a first. Still, there were some entertaining games, especially the best of three against Alyssa. What better to do on a rainy weekend?

In round 2, your first play, I think I prefer AEOLIA(N). what do you think?

Interesting idea. 14 points saving a naked Q seems counterintuitive, but 17 points saving AAELO didn't feel so good either. With that in mind, I was probably more defensive minded.
