Falafel stacked men on the bar at least 10 times and each time Mochy had to separate them but he kept doing it! I'm home a lot so I'm watching a lot of matches and nobody seems to be telling the players about we, the RU-vid viewers, that can't see the bottom checker.
Interesting non-double at 36:43 . 27 hits I think plus double 5s. Assuming a miss and a dropped redouble you are down 2. If this is played four times then if your double is accepted then you win 6 (3x2) and lose 2( 1x2). So a net +4 over four games. If your double is declined you win 4 (4x1). If you do not double then over four games you win 3 and lose 1 - net 2.
Remarkable play. But was rude of Falafel to keep putting checkers, one atop the other, on the bar. He knew Mochy doesn't like this way of placing men on the bar.
im NOT said what players are BAD. i just said about bad play at start. 22:15 this double really bad. i think players little bit nervous because this is important rivalry (sorry 4 my english lol)
Not only would Falafel not be in his current position if he weren't good, but he is also fantastic to watch because he has one of the most unique styles of play among the BG pros. It is especially exciting when he's faced by a very intellectual player like Mochy or MCG because it showcases a beautiful dichotomy of instinct versus probabilities.
Yes, if he was "not good" why is he the center of all when the giants play in a big match and later have discussion. They all want to hear his insight. I agree with amtiessen, "you have no idea of what you speak."
