I'm super out of touch with the lower levels now. I think it'll apply most for 1900-2k+ HD players. It's taken me a long time to sum up all of this in the thread. It could easily be 10x longer. I think the main gist of it is when you get ahead, focus on having control of the extra stones and golds and letting the game develop. If you're able to gain control of two of their golds or stones you basically win. Don't force it, but if it's there and you didn't take it then you've made a big mistake. I used to be too focused on 3tc booming and my eco being perfect when really I should have focused on gold/stone control first.
