I could not participate to this game (and not to the future ones) ... what a shame !

After this game the ranking will change.

At the moment I have nothing to play in the high area.
After several hours I should leave the computer for several days, when the game likely will be closed.
Nevertheless I planned to continue crunching this pattern during my leave, collecting more puzzles for the hardest database.

[dobrichev]

a nice pattern isn't it ?

Surely it is.
Your efforts in finding it were worth. Thank you!

Sorry for your laptop. Inject sleep(1) in your code to avoid overheating

For the next games I may provide a tool for playing from smartphone. But this is not a promise.

Sorry for your laptop. Inject sleep(1) in your code to avoid overheating

I play on my travel laptop having an i7, but I normally limit the parallel processing to 3/4 batches to avoid over heating

Just 2 remarks on your pattern list

Most of them have more than 23 clues
In the game, we have another constraint, the pattern must have one or more symmetries

And hunting high ratings seems endless. (seen a strange 10.7 diamond, but not your 11.2)

While others are scaling the heights, I've been scrabbling in the foothills. This has been played twice and trumped twice. Let's see.

For the next games I may provide a tool for playing from smartphone. But this is not a promise.

And for the next game I could have in test a fresh code much faster in the low ratings (also with nearly no deviation against serate in the range 1.0 - 6.2). To have a new clone of serate (10 times faster than skfr ??), several more months are needed in the way I am working to-day, but it should come
