I will hand it to Tony and his alter ego: he/she/they/them put(s) a white hot spotlight on the folly of making time part of any rating system on this site.
Quite simply, by using cards, he is playing a different game than those of use who do not. I don't for a second believe that the Tony/Ellie belong to a club with a single member. We might be surprised how common it is to solve games at freecell.net by other means.
No cards, no notes, no external aids.

What gender does Tony identify as when he plays as Ellie?
I don't think you are allowed to ask that question.
I am more interested in the "Titanic" part of Tony.

Clearly needs to be moved up to at least climate 8 or 9. If not 11.5. ;)
Clear cols 1, then 8, after the initial easy clearance.

Congratulations, kangaroo! That is a very nice win!
I have copied it to the "Never won winnables!" thread.
I lost it initially TT, but thanks. I included "zero wins" as part of "seldom" lol.
Yes, I knew that you had lost it initially from your earlier post.
The "Never won winnables!" thread is much older than this one.
This is becoming confusing on which thread to post to. These threads are getting crowded with games that are easy and meaningless from the point of skill.
Maybe we should have a thread titled "Every Game Ever Played".
Or, "Every Game TitanicTony Has Played".
Or every player on this site could start a thread "Games that {insert nick} has played"
That way we would have hundreds of discussion threads with each player boasting about their expertise like TitanicTony does.
Maybe Discussion threads should require as OPs either MrFixit or whoever happens to be President of the United States at the time. There should be a total cleanout pending that.
I am not sure about OP MrFixit. The other one is ok.
I was thinking more along the lines of Michael Polidori.
There seem to be rather a lot of him.
This game didn't seem that hard and only took four minutes. However, it required a leap of "blind faith" to progress, by which I mean the first moves were made without having a pathway to a clear column worked out.

I'd rate it >2300, but what do I know.
Hey, Brew, looking at your recent play, apparently all 19 losses were yours!
I think you should try using a deck of cards, AND taking notes, rather than run up 19 losses!!!
Just my opinion...
By the way I adjusted that game's rating to give it a better starting point based on your suggestion, Brew. It's now 1945 instead of 1620. And no, I have no intention of doing this regularly, but since you had me looking at ...
But I was really only being facetious, rhetorical...I do applaud you sir, for respecting my (datum) opinion.
