Considering the knock in the end of the game:
of course you got an advantage by this knock.
1) You piled perfectly -> no opportunity to kill you
2) But that you use bat in the next round, what wasn't possible from the original position, that sucks.
I would have excused point 1), but point 2) is just lame.
You are right sorry about that. Just bad day for me.
bat to mine was possible from the origin position ;D
