TKO Your problem might be that some of the clues below fit one way of playing this and some fit another version. I got 99 by using 10 first, 6 onto 7 which eventually reveals 9 which you put onto 10, 7 moves first of the red 7s. There are obviously other ways of doing it.

Well, I have to thank all who posted  James . I tried and tried and couldn't get anywhere. My final score is not good...but at least I finished...It is really nice outside so I am going to take a break and get in some gardening. See all later. 

Actually several of us communicate regularly but others never take part.  I wish everyone would communicate.  But it is not a perfect world.

Hi all.  Stinky, you are quite welcome. I think communication helps out quite a bit.  More communication might help this site out.  

Finished once, but can't come close again! Which black 6 first?

Thank you!! That 9 did it for me. I'll add 7. Stinky, are you Bruce?

Irishp - thank you for the explanation of a "James".   I have been playing here for years now - different names different accounts - I seem to recall someone named James.  A fitting tribute to a generous player.  Thanks again for the response.

9, 9 first

9 of hearts first, don't bring down the 6 of diamonds.

Folks,
Before I play this turn,  remember Layla
