cest une honte de ne pas être en mesure de trouver le dernier mouvement 


@harleyman: Je suis désolé pour vous mon cher ami. Vous semblez avoir pris trop à coeur. En ce qui me concerne. Je suis satisfait d avoir atteint 137. Bonne nuit mon ami et ne vous gênez pas tant que ça. Il y aura des autres jours et d autres possibilités. Parfois, après une bonne nuit de sommeil une nouvelle solution pourrait émerger. 


Im sorry for you my dear friend. you seem to have taken too seriously. in my case. I am pleased to have reached 137. good night my friend and do not hesitate that much. there will be other days and other opportunities. Sometimes, after a good nights sleep a new solution could emerge. I thank you my friend for your words of encouragement, and yes, after a nights sleep, things may be different...

A perfect translation of what I meant to say. I might have used one wrong expression. I did not want to say do not hesitate that much, but do not trouble yourself that much

I got the jest of it, I wont despair...

@zaphod, play over the QH and that should give you 136...

As I said after a good night sleep gthings look different. I now finished 136. My solution was to play up hearts to 8 and put 8 D down.

WTG @zaphod 


How do you get the 9S which is under the JH?

9S plays up after a switch ; 8D -9C


Thank you Robin for responding. I had to go urgently to town and when I came back with a fresh outlook I found it immediately.

No one has posted for days..

I was looking every day but as nobody seem to be interested I did not leave a trace either.

James ,I might be able to help you better if you ask questions like Zaphod did. This way I am not just throwing out random clues. My clues would be taylored to your roadblocks to bring resolve and help you at your present skill level at the same time ; not that I am all that with a pack of crackers. E-mail me if you like....

Thanks a lot Robin, that means a bunch, but when I am stuck, sometimes the right question doesn't come to mind. Most times I can follow yours and Susans clues, and you do give a card rundown that is quite helpful. Like today, for the better part I was able to get to 138 with clues given, then all of the twists and turns were confusing. I will try to give you more particulars on a given game in the future. Thanks again... 


The last two days have been hectic trying to get low moves and I am ticked !!




A bar owner locked up his place at 2 AM and went home to sleep. He had been in bed only a few minutes when the phone rang.

You know you are really drunk if you cannot lie on the floor without holding on. 


I guess I also made it 122. I am however not at the best of spirits. Even jokes don't lift me up as they used to. I notice James and Robin also post less and nothing that is not related to SC. I tried to stimulate the international spirit of the participants but seemingly there are no takers for that either. I guess as I am not particularly interested in the SCIENTIFIC approach to SC I shall also be posting less. lol
to all.
