There is a lot that contributes to good or bad play, McVay needs help. I do see progress although progress doesn't translate to victories but it will some day. It's always easier to destroy than construct so in order to keep the little hope I still have I'm thinking about quitting the board altogether. I actually "enjoyed" this game better without all the negativeness of the game time forum, there used to be a lot of constructive thoughts here, I miss those days.
Take care, enjoy the criticism, better times will come.
