You can rest assured that champagne and Pat will keep the game going. It was a tricky pattern. In any case, that was an impressive first participation.

Ok, I'll go rest now. I do not think I'll find a 5.0 (which should be there for this pattern).

It was a tricky pattern.

I agree with you, Mike. We did not find any diamond better than your 8.8 diamond, and anything better than my 9.3.

In any case, that was an impressive first participation.

First, this was my second participation (I posted a 7.9 in game 302, which was trumped). Second, I agree with you that this was impressive (currently, >1000 points). Start was not impressive (-50 penalty), but I did not give up and posted better and better puzzles. When you posted a 9.2, I answered with a 9.3. I played actively and did not fear submitting x.x/1.2/1.2 puzzles for slightly rarer ratings, like 5.7 or 6.5 (my last two submissions).
I'll post my strategy for this game in the Patterns Game Strategies thread.

not easy to play on the beach side with just a laptop and some fresh code to test.

I am waiting for the results of long batches to see what to play (likely this night or to-morrow morning)
So far my best is a ER 9.4 and no serate nested elimination showed up so the ceiling should be ER 9.4 9.5

And I have some oddities to analyze in the fresh code based more on a brute force spilt.

9.4/9.4/2.6 is not something to play so early
