Good Grief Blackie, you sure can pick the games. this one is just to confusing for my tiny little brain. To many options. |

Hi Ken, I'm with Mike on this one. I just can't be bothered with the number of alternative plays it throws up all the time. This however is the result of just 10 minutes play. I'm not sure how difficult I would find it to put the finishing touches to it. |

The Monty Python reference is for you, tho english I figure unlike good old Dr suess, it is in your neck of the woods. I have a method with this game and so far can always win. This was my hardest test to date. I know you like a challenge. |

“My philosophy, like color television, is all there in black and white”
(or in this case Red and Black).
I'll maybe mess with it some more. I didn't think a score of 48 was bad for 10 minutes work. I made the mistake of putting two high spades in extreme right positions where I couldn't make further use of them. |

I just KNOW I'm gonna regret this. I knocked your game out in about 15 minutes. I don't expect I could scalp it as easily if I replayed it, but I found it pretty straightforward from my previous uploaded position. Sorry Ken. Now PLEASE be gentle with me. Don't go dredging up devilish Diavalo's or I'll throw in the towel. |

Yes Ken, You can make a brilliantly decisive move without knowing that you've done so. This can make a massive difference to the time it takes you to complete it. The reason I tend not to play it very often is because by the time you realise you have made a critical error, you have to undo for ages to try and put it right, and this process can go on and on and on with some deals simply because you've accepted the aces in the wrong order. |
