Yes this is very true, but I think Uri should take care with his wording.
It seems to imply Edward is staging his games and that isn't very nice
without proof. At least that's the inference I draw from his statement.

That is one reason I personally wouldn't post a combinative victory here whether
or not I used "Anti-Comp." play, as people would question the credulity of the
game.
