Hehe. Well, there is technique involved in minimizing your loss to a surprise counterattack, and it involves very cautious bombshell advance hex by hex. So it might seem to the other guy that I am being a jerk but actualie I am just playing to minimize counterplay. In Winning Chess Strategies this is the strategy advocated by Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan for when you are ahead. So I am just doing what a chess Grandmaster recommends.
