You don't see this every day. Game #1 and #7 were the same, 7x6 16547-9. Funny how it credits you with winning #1 but never #7. Incidentally, I played #7 last, and didn't even recognize it. I'm always amazed at those (.poke WRAC) who can remember specific games after the fact.

Lol. I looked at the result earlier and I thought it was a bit odd to see an unsolvable 7x6...... I know what you mean about not remembering games easily, although I guess it's harder to do so when you have a variant you can pretty much blitz your way through as opposed to having to study it.

I probably wouldn't have recognized it myself. I can sometimes recall the brutally tough games in agonizing detail, but the fast ones just kind of blur by. By the way, one of these days, I should write some code to check for duplicate games when generating tournaments. With the AIOs, it's not all that unlikely. If my calculations are correct, it will happen in about 1 of 1171 tournies for the 8x4, and 1 of 3511 for the other variants (which each have three possible difficulty levels). WRAC
