I have some doubts,

I thought papy999's puzzle could be isomorphic to one of mines, it is not, so we have at least 3 puzzles rating 10.4 10.4 9.4

Hello champagne,

My 10.4/10.4/9.4 is isomorphic to your 3rd one

So we have 3 highest puzzles at the moment

How do you do to find so many highest puzzles ? That's unbelievable !

the third one is yours as you posted it

I have not so many puzzles over 10; I already commented on how I find them;
. generate
. filter high ones before entering SE
. cycle with the most promising.

my experience is that we need 4 to 6 cycles to locate the good ones.

As i started late, I just closed cycle 4. I am presently sorting out the best one

but you made a good job in that game.

Look at the results, you have all the highest positions so far.

Hello champagne,

I made a mistake, when i read your post... the 3rd one in your post is "my" 10.4 and you found 2 others !

I think we can find some other puzzles in the range 4.4 to 7.0... but I have also doubts for higher rating than 10.4

for 10.3/10.3/9.4 I've only 2 non isomorphic puzzles (I've already posted the first one)

Code: Select all

.9..6..7.2....1..5..3...4...8..1....4..3.9..8....2..5...7...5..9..1....2.6..8..9. ED=10.3/10.3/9.4
.6..2..3.8....3..5..5...6...4..3....5..7.9..2....5..1...7...8..9..1....7.5..7..4. ED=10.3/10.3/9.4

Yes, but I think that if you had participated to this game, it should be different.

I noticed ronk, joel64, Patrice, m_b_metcalf, gsf in the last games as very good players.
you didn't play since a while
Mauricio provided some of the highest puzzles in the range of 11.x

So what could happen with Mauricio and yours participation ?

What is for you the exact meaning of "most promising" ?

Hi papy999,

I suggest to switch later in the strategy thread. "most promising" is surely a key factor in the strategy and every one tries to improve it's own process. I have no problem to tell where I am.

Regarding the participation of the players you mentioned, Nobody knows what can happen in the game. The only granted submission is a diamond. I would likely have been reluctant to post the 10.1 / 1.03 you submitted.
