I think you will agree when I say that this goes to show that a development advantage can lead to an easy game for the player with the advantage aslong as he keeps the intiative. SO to answer the question "is development crucial?" the resounding anwer is yes! I hope you enjoyed my annotation. If you have any feedback or you think I have made any mistakes please PM. Tom
