I only have a minor contribution to offer. I apologize in advance.

My brother-in-law was school district champion in high school, and his dad, (my father-in-law), could easily beat him and not even have to see the board to do it. He'd be out shooting basktets while David was in the house, the only one looking at the board.

I have never heard either of them talk about strategies the way you just described it. It sounds like you and your competetors are both playing power games of fast and furious take overs. I would think that if you could learn a new strategy and practice it alot by yourself, you could go back and beat these other guys because they expect you to play the same every time. Instead, come up with a new game plan that they do not expect.

I hope my apology at the beginning was good enough to carry through.
