The lack of hard puzzles accelerated the game progress.
This pattern is possibly far below an average symmetrical one in hard puzzles fertility.
Nevertheless it was fun for me.

ED=9.5/1.2/1.2

well done, I did not expect such ratings, so I did not work in the ED=1.2 area.
I also missed the 9.4

[dobrichev]

Thank you.
Nevertheless your strategy (by not covering 1.2) won. Congratulations!
I have in cache
- 0 unplayed ratings
- 4 ratings lower than your submission
- 2 trumps
- 3 self-trumps

I early stopped the active playing but after that executed several possibly meaningless long generation passes, and one is still in progress.
Not sure whether I should play my trumps.

An observation on this pattern is that the hard puzzles are relatively "loosely connected", i.e. the vicinity search works worse than in other patterns.
Possibly it is due to the lower number of valid puzzles. I didn't investigate whether the minimality constraint is the bottleneck.

I halted the generation at the end of day one, and I have in cache one self trump and one trump, so, unless others players change the game, if you play, you win
