It's winnable Paul. A few little tricks help. Sometimes you can worry back off of the foundations until you get down to an existing tableau pile. This works well when you have a tableau pile of hearts for example say 4,5,6 and 7, and another pile 8,9,10 and J. The tableau piles are consecutive but fall foul of the rule about moving tableau groups. I used every trick in the book to win this one as you will be able to see.
Richard, since I got a new laptop (since my last one essentially blew up), I'm trying to win all my old games. Some of these old wins were more than 20 yrs ago and my mind is not as sharp as it used to be. I'm having trouble with just the basic ones. What's a winnable 40 Thieves? My best score so far is 55/30 on #7. Is that a winnable one? As always, thanks in advance.
I think we found these back in 2007 I did list the moves for 410867233 and I still have the list of moves on 8 pages since 2007 I can send these if you want help

I see you're absolutely snowed under by responses to your cry for help Paul. 😂 Looks like it's down to me as usual.
Your game is winnable but very difficult. I enjoyed putting it to the sword anyway.
Thanks Richard
Brilliantly worked out
Paul
You are always welcome Paul. 😊
Don't be a stranger, Paul...🤨
I have moved along quite well with a lot of games but Algiers 2510 looks to be a horrible one and my best score is 35

No idea why I couldn't get it to save with the normal PGS logo attached. 😕
Use this if need be.

Not an easy one Ken, exacerbated by the fact that I've not played FT for a long time, and I'm now an increasingly doolally old ..... 😁
Worrying back critical in FT.
Glad to know it’s not only me! THANKS
Paul, now that Richard has gone on holiday, I need your help! I see that you have Malmaison at least twice. Care to share your winning numbers?
THANKS!!!!!

All four of us had a hand in those back in the day.
thanks everyone! Back from holiday, Richard?
