I find more than 100 puzzles with the same pattern in the data base of potential hardest

a profligate pattern .... so how many new puzzles [ not in database > 10.5] were found ?

I find more than 100 puzzles with the same pattern in the data base of potential hardest

a profligate pattern .... so how many new puzzles [ not in database > 10.5] were found ?

I'll check to-morrow, but surely most of them are in the cache of the players.

I am very sorry that ssxssxs resigned. It's not by far the first time that a player uses the data base of potential hardest. I don't like this way to play, but anyway, to-day many players just contribute to the game without the willingness to win.
And a player posting the "best rating" at the very beginning receives a very small bonus, so the final battle stays in the 4.5 8.1 area where no data base exists

Between these two, lots of pearls. I 'lost' a 10.3/10.3/9.4 at some point, but had a 10.3/10.3/3.4 in cache.
