Your elo really took a beating since Friday.

Well, mine has just gone up a bit...

Game: 10x0 9387-5;.....  Game stats: 24/2/8.3%/2068;.....  Player Elo: 2278.538 ▲ 1.848.

Wow. I didn't win it,  but check out those stats

Sorry, You Lose

Mode: Streak

Game: 9x2 914-5

Elapsed: 11:10

Game stats: 135/1/0.7%

Elo: 1797.176 ▼-0.896

Streak was: 4

Didn't win this one, either, but thought I had it 'til I blew it at the end.  (And had NO idea it would have these kinds of numbers.)  That said.............it *is* a very difficult game, and to have it placed in the climate 5 pile is just a miscarriage of justice

Game: 6x4 11280-5;.....  Game stats: 79/3/3.8%/2115.543;.....  Player Elo: 2253.85 ▲ 2.516.

Good one.  That helps my 'Elo' recovery.  Thank to you, DoC!

Nice one to win. Very interesting game.

Another one of those "...but I just banged this one out! Now I'll probably fail a 93% solve rate game."

Snap!

Game: 10x0 27589-5;.....  Game stats: 19/4/21.1%/1893;.....  Player Elo: 2280.361 ▲ 0.78.

Gosh, two in a row:

Game: 10x0 31463-5;.....  Game stats: 25/3/12%/2063;.....  Player Elo: 2282.145 ▲ 1.785.

This one helps make up for my stupid loss of my first game today (misread my own notes, grrrr):

Game: 7x3 19425-5;.....  Game stats: 48/3/6.3%/2057;.....  Player Elo: 2248.672 ▲ 2.01.

Game: 10x1 21230-6;.....  Game stats: 11/2/18.2%/1793;.....  Player Elo: 2285.976 ▲ 0.444.

This was by far my most difficult game so far today!

And it remains seldom won!

WOW, this is definitely one of my best ever:

Game: 8x3 5617-10;.....  Game stats: 146/2/1.4%/2284;.....  Player Elo: 2254.745 ▲ 4.387.

Help -- I'm in severe pain from overuse!!

Another such 11x1!

Game: 6x5 28626-8;.....  Game stats: 11/2/18.2%/1919;.....  Player Elo: 2288.328 ▲ 0.855.

Ouch, these difficult games are keeping me up past my bedtime.

Game: 5x7 27794-6;.....  Game stats: 48/3/6.3%/2066;.....  Player Elo: 2266.485 ▲ 1.933.

This was definitely a VERY difficult game!  I must have re-dealt my cards at least 6 times.

"6", he says.  Try 9 - and that's not counting the "mini-shuffles" where he just backs up a move or two.  If you count each reversal or backtracking........had to be over 50.  Maybe 100. [I'm only a deck of cards.......so counting above 13 gets problematic for me.]

you know what the only conclusion i've come to after years of this shit? that tony is a decent person and you are not.

Thanks ix!  I appreciate that!

TitanicTony has a "split personality".  I'm his better half (LOL)!

I'm not sure that 2/10 qualifies as "seldom", but what the heck:

Game: 7x4 6091-7;.....  Game stats: 11/3/27.3%/1745;.....  Player Elo: 2268.126 ▲ 0.376.

I'll take it. Clearing a column wasn't a problem. Felt like a 20 minute game!

Game: 8x2 32170-5;.....  Game stats: 39/5/12.8%/1925;.....  Player Elo: 2302.279 ▲ 0.821.

Thank you ix. It done my heart good to see that today. Missed it before. I don't read a lot of threads. And I saw several have been added to the blues fix thread but after my last post, I left it behind. The sanctimoniousness. Don't know if or when I'll look at it. But someone does need a taste of their own medicine. In spades. You are smart to not bother and I salute you for Nov 3 because sometimes, silence implies approval.

ix -- I briefly pondered crafting a response to this but decided to leave it alone. However, now that you have received response, I'd suggest you consider who is applauding your comments and what that might mean. 

Tough game!

And yet again!

Game: 7x3 10633-5;.....  Game stats: 43/4/9.3%/1950;.....  Player Elo: 2259.217 ▲ 1.162.

Game: 6x5 8168-6;.....  Game stats: 11/2/18.2%/1861;.....  Player Elo: 2254.897 ▲ 0.753.

Normally 9x3s aren't too rough, but this one is - a bit.  Fortunately, I realized it before it was too late:

Of the 12-sums I despise 9x3s the most. Paradoxically they remain my highest 12-sum streak!

Wasn't expecting to post here again so soon, but this wasn't tough, but it was tricky!

roo, you're killin' it lately.....

Nice game!

Game: 6x6 4910-10 ;.....  Game stats: 19/4/21.1%/1947;.....  Player Elo: 2296.721 ▲ 0.947.

Test - I could not view my previous post about a 4x9 game.
