what is the "lead currently"

En ce moment, tu menes par 2951 points.

Mike Metcalf

write, nevertheless, if I were in Joel position, I would continue to pile points to try to be safe if anybody comes with a new highest rating.

That game seems to have very few puzzles over 10, but nobody knows where is the limit.

Two posts ago, even without the last-entry score, joel64 had a lead of 2008 pts. Even if someone else would've gotten the highest-rating, they wouldn't have surpassed his score.

Nothing so evident with 24 clues.

I am not in a position to play that game, but I had the opportunity to continue tests with my labtop.

Few hours ago, I had in cache about 15 possible moves, which shows that the game is still far from the end. (no new highest rating)

Apples and oranges. I was talking about a possible submission (by a different player) for the highest-rating (as you suggested), while you now seem to talking about the rest of the game. After such a submission, everyone would still have opportunity to play some of your "15 possible moves."

nothing to object, but this is not a 2 players game.

To what is that a counterpoint?

champagne 1 1447 57m59s pearl,highest-rating=696,last-entry=343,dealer
ronk 17 1823 18m04s rare-0*3,rare-1*2,diamond*10,pearl*5,bad-submission,premature-entry*2
joel64 29 3367 50m41s rare-0*5,rare-1*4,rare-2,diamond*14,pearl*7,consecutive-entry,mulligan

Lest just assume you played the last submission and this is a final highest rating!!
