Hey EWQM., would have been a gentle thing if you hadn't beaten my time in S56/T8 finally Sad Wink. Congratulations for winning this season anyway, of course.

There is no need to catch up Wink, at least not as long as I couldn't catch hexx in terms of ranks #1 in div1. And this might still take a long time Sad

about last week's tournament: congratulations to nymike on his first place in division 2. may many more first places in d2 and eventually some participatons in d1 follow.

about this week's board: it took me less than 3 hours to finish a board. the one i completed required only a single 50-50 guess with just 6 squares left.

Congrats to Lutz, EWQM. and Vladimir - the only ones who managed to finish this awfully tough board with 36x11/175. I was far away from finishing a single one, even if I tried hard. Didn't succeed further than 70% (and misclicked there Sad ).

congrats stephan. by any chance, could it be that you started holding back your fastest time until sunday afternoon? every time you beat me this season, it happened with a game posted on a sunday.  Tongue

@EWQM.: It might look like this. But I played the game right on Sunday evening. These days, Sunday afternoon or early evening is one of the small times where I play, that's why I sometimes can achieve a better score at that time.

Last week, it was big luck. My game was played at 18:44, after re-starting for ~2 minutes.

By the way, I never would hold back a time. Assume I have a 9.79, and keep it back. You also play a 9.79, upload it, and I'll be second with a tied score only due to late upload. Would be a very unhappy situation.

i got this 6.42 on friday evening, a bit after posting my 6.59. i'm lucky that it's 0.01s faster than your time.

You're lucky in two ways. Not even the minimal difference, but also the situation that I was on vacation and couldn't play on Sunday afternoon. But congratulations anyway Wink.

Hi! I was setting up shortcuts and stuff on a new windows install and thought, why not?

I picked an interesting month to click the tournament button again......

Just mis-clicked at 95.56% complete on S56T8, looking at the rest of the board no guesses needed to complete....oh well......it would have been sub-300 too

my 304s success on s58t8 had a 50-50 guess with 3 mines left among the last 6 squares. i did make a few guesses in the beginning of the game. not going to play this board again.

interesting fact: s58t8 is only the second tournament ever to have a height over 25, the maximum height in custom mode. the other such board was s52t1 with 12x30 and 14 mines.

Hi all.

Current T with 29x27/100 seems to be hardly solvable. Should I ask Yariv to change it to 30 mines (same size)? Closure should then be one week later than originally scheduled.
