Thanks, but please don't improve too much. You got a very very close 2nd in this game ... and won the prior.

I'am wondering how to improve the search for puzzles with rating between 4.6 and 6.5... and how to get rapidly diamonds

Puzzles between 4.6 and 6.5 seems to be rare ?

Best regards
Patrice

I guess there are

very tiny chance to get a diamond starting with a UR,
nearly no chance to get one with a UL
and no chance to get one with a BUG,

is a rough estimate of the average elapsed time between moves
done a long time ago to weed out bots,
or at least to coerce bots act more like the human counterparts
