Hive 63

I played black here against the strongest opponent yet. I'm thinking that in Hive, the stronger opponent taking white probably has an advantage, and can keep the black player on the defensive the entire game. That's certainly what happened here.
This game is definitely worth replaying in detail to see just how white was able to trap black's moves at every step.
Here's the end result:
I don't feel that bad about this game as this opponent is in the top 50 players, and I'm down around the 200 mark at best.
