Wow that was harder than expected. Not a medium to me... Wait for the J was my key.

The key to winning this game is to ensure you play the 9 and J first.

make sure you bring 6s down onto 7s

whooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooo got it!

Great clues...I waited all day and came back and finally got it..well one off which drives me nuts but a heck of a lot better than my score this morning. Night all.

Bruce, I can only imagine how impressive his performance was. He just gets better with time, Especially his footwork.

Robin, now I get why you said what you said about the 7 -- based on when you had initially played it ! It just takes a while for the story to get out since we're writing our responses back and forth over a period of hours.

KOH, I can see where that could easily happen.
57, your comments always makes sense. Please keep posting them.

MrWabbit and Susan after reading your comments, I went back to check it out for myself. It is the case where it doesn't matter if you leave or play it over. I think I know the reason why I considered it a defining move. I brought it down in the third round, cause I thought it might be beneficial at that point , thus yielding 150 moves.. The key for me was" when" I brought it down when I played that move, but not really being the key move of the game. I have enjoyed the conversation about the game today. Interaction was delightful and enlightening.

Yes Susan, as I think you have already made worthwhile contributions. So helpful in many ways.
