A new algorithm ?

Not exactly but somehow yes.

Having to play from my travel PC, I changed the filter selecting puzzles to rate quicker (and potential seeds).

It works better than expected and I have in hands plenty of trumping material.

I still hope to find a 10.3 diamond 'and some of the missing ones

champagne,
"you have plenty trumping material"
I've also 2 self trumping 7.9 and 8.7
and some mike's trumps
but nothing for you ! and that's normal because you have played 20 : 17 diamonds and 3 pearls (ER=8.0, ER=10.7, ER=10.2 - premature entry)

This is a sitting-duck for being trumped, but I now have only self-trumps.

but nothing for you ! and that's normal because you have played 20 : 17 diamonds and 3 pearls (ER=8.0, ER=10.7, ER=10.2 - premature entry)

BTW I was not expecting a 10.2 diamond, but it came with less than 5 ER 10.2 in total
and the game goes so fast that I can be short in time to find the 10.3 diamond if it exists

No sign so far that we did not reach the highest rating

I have rated more puzzles with serate (2x ER10.7) looking for ratings over 10.7 or diamonds, but not that much (127 puzzles rating >= ER 10.4)
