A great solo performance up at the summit. Well done.

::: comment :::

The bottom end of the ratings is as competitive and even more tactical than the top end perhaps !

The game is often decided by the tactical play in the middle. Sometimes statistics are informative. For instance, my 6.9/6.7/2.6 had been played 11 times before and had won in 50% of the games. Your 6.9/6.9/3.0 was at 8 and 91%, and Pat's 6.9/6.9/3.6 is at 1 and 98%. The 6.5/2.5/2.5 is doomed at 5 and 33.3%

Regards,

Mike

it may even come down to who actually plays the last puzzle ...... interesting those top-rated the puzzles are still trickling out - possibly there are many puzzles still to come.

According to my records, the 7.9/7.5/3.6 was played only once before, by Pat, but as a 'more', and thus should now have received a higher rating bonus.
