i've to improve dratically in some way !

I'll stay out if the next game to have more time to work on my fresh code, I intend to release it (and the entire process) as soon as I reach the 8.2-9.0 area (multi chains)
But even with the code, there is room for chance and for a "seed strategy"

[1to9only]

::: comment :::

next game, my objective is to finish with 1000+ points, i.e. more points for me, less points for you. if champagne stays out, maybe i'll reach 2000+ points, but papy999 still wins with no competition!

my strategy and workflow need work, if in each game i'm making progress towards objectives, this will keep me interested in the patterns game. another objective: submit more 10s than champagne (maybe I'm dreaming! ).

is the patterns game to win the most points? highest rated? last entry? or to find all er-rated grids for the dealer pattern?

[champagne]

is the patterns game to win the most points? highest rated? last entry? or to find all er-rated grids for the dealer pattern?

My vision

First hours :
find as fast as possible diamonds and play them

In parallel, look for high ratings as a priority
Accept to see other players submitting non diamonds puzzles and catching temporary points
If you have free cycles, try vicinity around puzzles rated in the area 4.5 6.1

and try to open the field with the seeds choice (one reason on my side to try first the symmetry of given)

Later spend more power in the vicinity around ER far from diamond

If you want more details, the thread on" game strategies" is normally dedicated to such comments

[papy999]

is the patterns game to win the most points? highest rated? last entry? or to find all er-rated grids for the dealer pattern?

The official rule is (see post 0 of the Thread)

The player with the highest point total is the winner.

But each player can have its own objectives as you just have fixed yours.
Mines are
- trying to win when champagne or dobritchev are playing... I managed a few times
- trying to find puzzles eligible for the "potential hardest list" (diamond er=10.3 or er=10.4, pearl 10.5 or 10.6 and puzzles with er>=10.7, and the graal puzzles with rating 11.X)

Your objectives are very ambitious, and you are welcome in the game
This will put a new pressure

[papy999]

::: comment :::
If nobody send a pattern to Gremlin before the next game starting post, the next dealer will be Patrice and we can predict a pattern with 11.x possibilities !

1to9only,
you can add to your objectives
post a 11.X puzzle in the next game !
