sorry, that was my mistake
(puzzle was rejected for mis-matched rating)

and you did subsequently play your own 7.1

as for the rejected puzzle,
if it turns out to be useful --
it could be played by anyone
(but we tend to leave it for the player who first presented it)

ED=10.7/10.7/10.5

congratulations, still nothing above 10.6 on my side, but long batches ongoing

However, on a strategic view point, I would have differed this one, having taken my chance for the highest rating

just considering the number of 10.6 diamonds coming now, I am wondering whether a 10.7 diamond exists. Could be although I am still very poor in 10.7 10.8 ERs
