Yes, Anita we moved ourselves. It wasn't too bad, because we moved from one furnished apt to another. As always, though, there was more than we thought. We celebrated at the local Chinese restaurant for a late dinner.

Well, we've finished moving. Yay! Thanks so much for the generous clues. I wouldn't have had a hope of finishing this game today without help.

Yes, James, but in this instance, if you see that the 2, 3, 5 and 7 are in the deck (stock), the A is up in foundations and the 4 comes down, you might hesitate to move the 6 because it appears that it might play up (you might have to play through once to see this). What I missed, and what Robin saw, was that if you could play spades up through 7, why not through 8? Have a good night.

It's just like in this game, you'd think to put the 6 on the 7, in this case you don't

It has been that all along for me. Some moves make sense and others don't, and I still don't think it hurts to ask.

Yes, I suppose it is. Well, we play to learn and learn to play.

Thanks William. Obvious is only in the eye of the beholder...

One final note James: I said 42 moves before the flip. If you don't bring the 4 down, you're at 41.
