To Mike:
Mike, thank you for explaining, but I am aware that Robbie runs such an agent. When she decides she'll answer me if at all. I am just very curious. because I was about to post it yesterday (I mean 4.0/4.0/3.8) . I was about to post 7.6/7.6/7.3 but I still think it might be improved. I have 5 different of them .
Regards
Dinev

I found 28 4.0/4.0/3.8 and still no diamond. Robbie, how many have you found?

I found 122 4.0/4.0/3.8 and no diamond !
I found 1779 4.0/X.X/X.X

But it is not a rating zone where I'm focusing...
I try to find some more 10.x

You have a diamond to find : 8.7 ! I got 4 of them, but they are self trump for me!

Dinev, I wish you a best search !

::: comment :::
Yes I'm using an agent of my own, running on Unix Ubuntu !
Now it spools the game every 2 minutes to get new posts, this is why it can react so fast.

And Mike your are right : it's not "as human"
So for next games my agent will slow down the spooling and wait randomly before postinga puzzle.
Sleeping 8 hours a day : I've to think about ... this needs some changes in the agent.

Mike do you think it will be better for the game ? You are the main player !

to Robbie:
I've found five 8.7/8.7/8.5. Wait for a long batch to finish. Now I understand why you always win. I also wish luck to you, m.b.metcalf, , Pat and other players (if they make their appearance). I had hope for 4.0 diamond because i saw 7.2/7.2/4.0 in one of my files ( not that this is a sure sign...) but it turned out to be 7.2/7.2/4.4 and I have no sudoku ending in 4.0. But I continue to search.

Well, there was a time when there were players in time zones around the globe, so that certainly kept the playing field level. Even now, it would be less intimidating for any new player.

I believe that I had higher rating, but it appears to have been swallowed by my computer.
