Saint Petersburg

Time for a new tourney. Dan wins if he gets 11 out of 20 wins. Let the games begin. The reward: 10 cents and bragging rights.

Game 1: Sep 1st. Michelle wins by 12. woot!
Game 2: Sep 7th. Dan wins by 20. Booo!
Game 3: Sep 10th. Dan wins by 17 points despite Michelle playing REALLY WELL.
Game 4: Sep 11th. Dan wins by 10. Somehow, neither of us realized that the game was over until it was.
Game 5: Sep 24. Michelle wins by 5. Close game the whole way. I got up by 3 greens early on, but Dan almost pulled it off. Dan was short by 3 rubles to make it a tie.
Game 6: Oct 19 Michelle wins by 13. Michelle buys lots of blues early on while Dan stocks up on oranges. (And Dan points out, I did get the Judge the first round.) Dan gets both observatories and both pubs, but trails by 20-30 points most of the game. Dan ends with 10 oranges, and since he can't end the game early, Michelle manages to get 8 by spending her very last ruble.
Game 7: Nov 2 Michelle wins by 4.
Game 8: Nov 5 Dan wins by 15
Game 9: Nov 20 Dan wins by 17. Sigh.
Game 10: Nov 26 Michelle wins by 28. Dan never had the opportunity to buy an orange higher than 12 the whole game. Michelle got the judge on the first round. 'nuff said.
Game 11: Nov 30 Dan wins by 14.
Game 12: Dec 4 Dan wins by 34.
Game 13: Dec 6 Dan wins by 18. Ok, this is not looking so good.
Game 14: Dec 10 Michelle wins by 44. Oh yeah, you read that right. 44! (Just 44, not 44 factorial)
Game 15: Dec 18 Dan wins by 15.
Game 16: Jan 3 Dan wins by 22. This is not going well, folks.
Game 17: Jan 11. Dan wins by 28.

Total so far: Michelle-6 Dan-11
