I agree  Grin  Grin
However, what hurts even more is the extra week, such that really everyone has enought time to beat my 700odd. But if you'd really like to even things out... let me choose the next board  Cheesy  Grin

finaly won a good board Wink had already LC'd 3 of them and messed up a board with 0 on the left and 11 on the right and all mines aligned to the 11...

i'm very curious which method you use to solve S38/T4. but let's not talk about strategy while the tournament is still running Wink

@maruda: only started playing this board again because you beat my time Tongue

@EWQM.: About strategy - after several unsuccessful attempts with different mixtures of flagging and NF, the final strategy was pure flagging while playing only those boards where I got a nice first or last column. Moreover, the main progress in times came by playing as risky as possible - so I lost several 13 and 14 games as well as one 11 due to wrong guesses.

@stephan: that's really interesting. i started with a mix of flagging and nonflagging as well, but after 15 minutes i decided to try hexx-strategy: waiting for solvable columns on the sides and nonflagging the rest. it took at least 10 minutes to finish a game this way but my first game was already a 13. overall i finished only ~15 games throughout the whole week.

Well done Vladimir! That game might bring new life into the fight for relegation.

Finally I got a new personal best on that grid. But I don't think that 11.12 will stand (well, considering Harryck it doesn't even stand right now), Stephan usually sub10s on this board. Yet I feel fast - but I think I'd need an 8.odd and I don't think I can/should invest the time to get an easy enough board for it.

Well done, guys... I would have appreciated if my sub12 would have been enough Wink.

About sub10ing: Stephan usually had more time than this week to sub10 on this board. So, I hope that Saturday will be enough for a 10.xx Cool.

Was enough for two sub11s, but it was tough. Thank you, Christoph, for not striking back Tongue.

I had no time to play yesterday. Actually my computer was switched on only for about 5 mins (just to look up the results from the ATP Tour Finals). So it wasn't difficoult to not strike back  Grin
I'm not sure when and if I'll play the current T (first I need to get back my mouse from my girlfriend...) Roll Eyes

got a super-easy board...unfortunately a bit too early: not at all warmed up and still a bit sleepy. at least i finished it Wink

top row was 2-2-4-2-1
bottom was 3-3-3-2-1
3 empty columns and no guesses...needed only 19 clicks.

Historic moment: After unbelievable 307 tournament participations in a row (which means participating in every existing tournament from S01/T1 to S38/T5), Maruda finally didn't submit times for S38/T6! Hey Maruda, I hope you won't retire?!

P.S. Congratulations to EWQM. Good job!

Historic and sad... but I'm more concerned about Klaras disappearence, does anyone know what's the matter with her?

My sub2 today was pure luck (for me because it was a super easy board and for everybody else because my hands were totally frozen and I hardly could move the fingers at all - probably it would have been a sub1 otherwise). Maybe I'll find a little time to play at home (where it's warm and cosy) later this week.

@Christoph: Klara missed 5 Ts in a row, but submitted for 2 of the last 3 Ts. So, I think, she hasn't disappeared.
