Congratulations to Maruda for winning S86/T2. Btw, it's the first win that doesn't come from EWQM., Lutz, or Stephan since S79/T2 (after 55 consecutive wins by those three).

And it's Maruda's first T win since S58/T8, about four years and three months ago Shocked

.
That one was also a big board with relatively low mine density, so Maruda showed again his strength on these boards impressively!

For this tourny, I had seen your 13 after dinner yesterday. I thought my 11 from the evening would be enough to pass you but those dreams got crushed quickly when I uploaded my score...

Managed to shave off quite a bit of time for S86T4 by adapting my strategy a bit.

I start by strictly solving columns from left to right, first clicking all safe squares, then flagging all mines in each column. At 5-7 columns left I switch to solving the remaining rows. Just made the jump from a 232 that felt quite fast to a 216 that felt like an average game. I used 196 left and 139 right clicks, so I guess it comes down to using the right clicks more efficiently.

Skip boards until you get one with a lot of mines in the top and bottom row. If they aren't solvable right away, guess quickly. Then solve columns left to right or right to left.

@Stephan: Do you know what the longest streak of consecutive T wins are for 1, 2 and 3 different players?

@EWQM.: I didn't know, but could find out Tongue

. And did find out, very interesting topic Wink

.

Most consecutive T wins for one player:
8 by hexx (S26T3-S27T2) - stopped by Maruda
8 by Stephan (S73T5-S74T4) - stopped by Lutz
7 by Maruda (S28T4-S29T2) - stopped by Alliska
7 by EWQM. (S72T1-S72T7) - stopped by Stephan

Most consecutive T wins for two different players:
29 by EWQM. or Stephan (S60T7-S64T3) - stopped by qqwref
18 by Luca or hexx (S07T7-S09T8) - stopped by Nikolaj
14 by EWQM. or Harryck (S50T1-S51T6) - stopped by Stephan
13 by hexx or Maruda (S06T4-S07T8) - stopped by Luca

Most consecutive T wins for three different players:
55 by EWQM., Lutz or Stephan (S79T3-S86T1) - stopped by Maruda
54 by hexx, Maruda or Stephan (S22T5-S29T2) - stopped by Alliska
49 by EWQM., qqwref or Stephan (S60T7-S66T7) - stopped by Lutz
32 by hexx, Luca or Maruda (S06T1-S09T8) - stopped by Nikolaj

Sorry for stealing this T win. It's a surprise indeed that you didn't submit a faster time in late Saturday evening - would had expected that .

Well deserved for putting in these extra hours on a Saturday. I didn't have time to play yesterday and I've noticed that lately I find myself spending a bit less time playing Nonosweeper than earlier this year, especially later in the week.

Thank you, EWQM. I used the opportunity to finish season 88 with 64 points Cheesy

. Included some boards that turned out to be extremely hard to win for me with Lutz as main opponent and specialist for bigger boards, but I'm lucky about the achievement anyway

.

And as I was in vacation afterwards, and Lutz might have taken some off-time as well, S89/T1 was probably the very first T board in history without a single German player submitting a time Shocked
