arikuun gets stronger

arikuun (BC) beat me this evening in a 13x13 match; and by a good margin of 33.5 moku. He did a good job of building a central pillar which supported all of his encroachments and linked his originally separate groups. You can see it in the image above.

He mentioned that he's played up to 500 games but it doesn't seem to show on his stats. There was a notable lag also in his responses so I wonder if he's using a different client for IGS.

Couldn't sleep this evening so I snuck in this match. What can I say? This game is addictive.
