Now S84T3 looks like it could be fun. First game after 5 minutes was a 94, second game after 20 minutes was 87. I suppose sub80 should be possible.

No danger from my side. Got a 101 on a relatively easy board, so I guess, for me, sub-100 will be the limit. But there are other players there, guess Lutz will take the fight for #1.

Yep, 77.14. 94 left, 50 right, 144 total clicks at 1.87 cl/s. I won't have any more time to play during the rest of this week. Lutz, it's your board now.

Actually, I am happy with my sub100. If I had more time to play I probably could go for a sub90. But never in a million years could I get a better time than EWQM's 77.

@Lutz, Stephan: What happened last week? The last time this board got played Stephan got a 97. My strategy was to play NF and solve/guess through top and bottom rows, then solve columns. Basically just what I do this week but with rows and columns switched.

@EWQM.: I didn't find time to play a lot (only Sunday evening and Monday evening, not the best times for me to play fast). So, my time was the result of finishing at least some boards (stopped after the 3rd), with flagging mines and opening safe squares. On Monday evening, I was aware that I would never beat your time and just wanted to stay in #2. As this looked okay yesterday, I didn't spend more time.

This week, I'm able to play NF style, think low 70 would be possible for me. 57 is an illusion for me to beat. So, be assured that myself won't spend too much time on this board.

I didn't play much and was not able to find the right strategy. Just tried it your way and got a 122 after 5 minutes which would have been good enough for 6 points. Cry Don't like that kind of boards, though.

Very low 70 indeed Grin, but still ages away from 50 Embarrassed

Well done, Stephan! Curious to see if that's enough to secure 2nd place.

Welcome back, Jon! Good to see you here around again. Btw, it was season 4 when you participated for the last time. So, you only skipped ~13 years or 648 tournament weeks Cool.

And with Jon, division 1 hat 15 players, so only 1 player more, and we would have had division 2 back Shocked.

@Lutz: Thank you for not beating my 58 in S85/T8. Without your help (achieving #2 in S85/T1), I would never have beaten EWQM. in a whole season's total by 1 point Cool

Small heads up to everyone else who, like me, has a hard time getting a decent solve on these small boards like S86T1:

You can play this board pretty much in the same way that can be used to achieve 1 second games on Beginner level. Assume that the leftmost column is always a 10. This is the case for ~18.7% of games so roughly every 5th to 6th board. Further solve rows from top to bottom, assuming mines are always in the leftmost possible position. Obviously you're going to lose a lot more games but you should be able to get a fast time within 10 minutes of playing.

@Stephan: Congratulations! A well deserved win!

@Lutz: Nooooooo! where were you? JK, hope you enjoyed the good weather yesterday. Wink

@EWQM.: Your strategy for S86T1 works fine. Beaten Maruda's tough 1.90 after less than 10 minutes Wink. But I'm quite sure that this 1.87 won't be enough Grin.
