11.12 on intermediate, another 11 and several 12s today. Here's to hoping for a 10 or even a 9...

Well done, Fritz!

That's really close to 10: can you tell me about INT playing style (left/right clicks)?

Especially in GEN I find it hard to judge what board is worth trying: high numbers like 8-20 are probably an advantage but made the experience that's also important mines are spreaded well over the board. Can you give me an advice what are promising boards and what percentage you dicide to play?

For intermediate the fastest strategy is to not use flags and solve like this:

Solve the outer edges of the board going around in a circle. Use guessing if neccessary. Stick to the same starting point and the same assumptions when guessing in order to solve this without slowing down to think. You are going to lose a lot if not most games this way but if you're trying to be as fast as possible it's worth it. The games you lose this way will be lost early and not cost too much time overall. The games you get to continue past this starting phase will usually be much easier and quicker to complete.

Then solve column by column. It's up to you whether you only use logic for this or make occasional guesses to save a bit of time. The more guesses you make the fewer boards you will win but it might be worth it after coming within a second of your record for the twentieth time.

For genius I usually just look for a solvable outer edge. Some days I only play boards with a solvable top or bottom row and some other days I try to get a board started by guessing one or two safe squares on an outer edge. I don't have any specific strategy for genius beyond the start of the board except that occasionally I remember to not use flags during the last 5-10 seconds of the game to hopefully save a second or two.

Thank's for your advice!

On INT you're answer is like expected! I just checked my 2x18sec vids: one has 60 flags and the the other 62 flags so it's probably no suprise I can't improve. The Problem ist that this is my playing style for about 600 hours an that makes it hard to switch to your complete different (faster) style.

On GEN I remember watching some youtube vids of you where you play exactly the way you discribe. For me the best garanty to solches the board is a promising line somewhere in top as well as on the button (about 1 out of 100 boards) but that doesn't mean these are fast boards. I hate to be forced to but looks I should take more Tisch according your advice! I wish there would be something like 3bv for Nono, too! Grin
Regards

After getting 11.24, 11.31, 11.62 and 11.81 yesterday and another 11.96 today, as well as lots of 12s, 13s, and 14s, I finally got a 10.99!  Cheesy

25 clicks at 2.27 cl/s

9.97 seconds on intermediate! The board took only 20 clicks at 2.00 cl/s. One of the easiest boards to solve quickly and with few clicks I have ever seen. Now I'm 1st in the "Single Record Rankings (including Genius)" and 2nd on the other 4 rankings.

...

EDIT: looks like the only other 9 on intermediate was a 9.95 second game. Back to playing more intermediate, I guess.  Wink

Got a 46.10 on expert 7 days ago and a 46.10 today. Also another 47 5 days ago and multiple game sbetween 48s and 52s every day lately.

But today I finally got a 43.32 on expert with 36 right clicks, 47 left clicks for 83 total clicks at 1.92 clicks/second. 0.01s behind the fastest ever time on expert but with 6 clicks more than that game.

Now I'm first on both rankings that include the genius level, tied first on the single record and unweighted single record rankings and only 2 seconds behind first place on the world ranking.

I couldn't get a sub50 on expert today so after a bit over an hour of playing I decided to switch to intermediate for a bit and got a 10.18 within less than 5 minutes of playing. The game took only 23 clicks. Maybe another 9 is possible.
