technically it's cheating but i doubt it is useful enough to give an advantage (left side of the board stays at the same positions but the right side with the numbers may move to the left and right when you hit f2). but how in the world could we be able to prove that somebody uses this trick?

I agree with EWQM. As the board width varies, you won't be really able to adapt the monitor in a way that on the left one, the numbers are at the rightmost place. But simply try and tell us Wink

Well, well, two Ts gone and the points table looks somehow familiar, considering the S35 results  Shocked
Honestly, would anyone bet against Stephan to win 8 Ts and the S36 more than 20 points clear?  Huh

I would bet against winning myself all 8 Ts - the boards already played were quite good ones; int/exp level style is still very likely to come, then Gabi or anyone else will beat me. And small board with few mines will problably come up as well, then you will beat me Wink

@stephan: and it might be that you also won't get to win 7 T's in S 36 Tongue

i LOVE this board. got 7.70, 7.96 and 7.60 so far on boards that were good but not perfect. blasted sth that could have already been a sub7. i'd like to hear your strategies for this weeks board (after thw tournament of course Wink)

Yes, might... Congratulations, nearly one second gap to #2 at 7 seconds game time is nearly hexx dimensions Smiley. Seems that you didn't need other players' strategies. Myself, I didn't like the board, so I'm quite happy with #3.

I felt not so comfortable on that board. But stil I'd probably done better had I just had a desk to play on Grin
I'm refurnishing and was thus a little handicaped  that week  Wink Somewhen while this T I should get my new desk - then it'll be time to watch out (this 4.08 is a touchpad score Cool ).

@Stephan: ok, so you won this bet Smiley but the part about winning the S 20 points clear is stil open... you're at 14 now, just 2 points off winning the S with two Ts to spare. Considering how balenced the field behind you is at the moment, two wins should put you on 20 points.

@stephan: thanks

my strategy was to wait for a 15 in top row while having the cursor in the bottom right corner. then i'd solve the bottom row from the right to the left and then column by column. my 7.00 board had a 1-5 in the first column, which already saved 3 clicks. in total i needed only 13 clicks for it.

@Christoph: You were right, two wins were sufficient to get a gap of 21 points Smiley, as the ranks of the other ones were really balanced. Luckily, I didn't bet against the 20 points part Wink.

I had a quick look at historic gaps in nono seasons:
1. Maruda 24 (to Stephan in S28)
2. Stephan 21 (to Manuel in S36)
3. hexx 17 (to Luca in S06)
4. Luca 7 (to hexx in S08)

In S37, I definitively won't be able to repeat this performance as I will be in holidays for several days Cheesy.

Hi EWQM.,

nice fastest season statistics, even if it highly depends on the boards played in the corresponding seasons. If you check out winner times in past seasons, S36 had only boards which could be finished by the T winner in 12.73 seconds or faster. S21 had 21.95 as highest winner time. All other seasons contained boards where already one single board needed 30, 40 or even 100 seconds. In those seasons, a total sum of 52.02 would be difficult to reach Cool
