with only two playing if I stop you cant win ......
if champs comes along then I will be beaten !
I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of puzzles - I dont really know where to search. I never got your 9.9 diamond
At least I have shown that playing can be done with programs "widely" available
C

So, are you planning to resign, or to venture on?

::: comment :::
I was very impressed with your 10.4 diamond, which I still haven't found independently. The game is now in the state where, barring trumps or a new highest rating, the last player wins. (The game is still open as you omitted the spaces in the resign command!) But I'll be away for 36 hours over the weekend.

Great game, thanks for playing.
