GIVING THANKS WHERE THANKS ARE DUE

A long time a.go, I observed on this blog that my score on the game of Free Cell was pretty good but that I could not get it higher.  David Palmeter reported that he had a very very high score but used the undo facility, which I had shunned. Encouraged by him, I began to use that facility and since then have not lost a game. Yesterday, my all-time score went up to 98.4%, for roughly 15,000 games total. I have always been grateful to him for this encouragement and I thought I would just pass it along now. Thank you, David.

To be fair, as a player, if you use Undo, and spend 47 minutes on a game, you can "win" almost all of them.

Robert Paul Wolff said...

But of course, that is the whole point, why do you put "win" in quotes?By the way, I believe there is one game that it is impossible to win although I have no idea which one it is.

That's the way to do it. Determination! Never give up!

I've been playing chess since I was a teenager. I have been playing chess online for over 20 years now. Unfortunately, my Elo rating has been falling steadily in recent years. After the games I always ask ChessBase and it mercilessly shows me that I start to lose after the fifth move. If I win, ChessBase shows me that I'm only winning because my opponent is making bad moves. I think that since supercomputers have been around, mankind should really think about redefining the term "winning" so as not to leave the field of honor to these miserable digital monsters.

I put win in "" because I just think fair play should involve a time limit. Depends on the game, the purpose, and the prize.

Bitcoin investments Scams

Beware of Bitcoin investment schemes where scammers, posing as experienced "investment managers," lure investors with tales of massive cryptocurrency profits. Promising hefty returns, these fraudsters ask for an upfront fee, only to vanish with your money, leaving you with empty promises. They may even ask for personal information under the guise of fund transfers, risking your cryptocurrency security. Don't let the allure of quick wealth cloud your judgment. Always verify the credibility of those you're investing with and remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay informed, invest wisely, and protect your digital assets.
