There's at least an 11 game win streak in this group (the most I've seen so far is 9).

How about posting a list of your best non-winning games Larry. It would give me something more productive to work on. I've been replaying the first 100 games repeatedly to see how far I can get the average score up to. The novelty is wearing off!

Richard,

The streak ended for me at # 862. Give a go at this one and see if you can keep it going.

Those absent eights of spades kill it stone dead Larry.

Thanks Larry. I'll have a stab at them later today, perhaps even tonight. We may have plans that I don't even know about yet. Ha!

Just wait until you see this solution Larry. Talk about being an idiot! I buried an ace in the waste close to the start of the game. I still managed to win it. Incredible.

OK! My mind was/is clearly elsewhere. I didn't bury an ace. Thank God. That would have been a worrying new development. Some of the old grey matter is still working reasonably well.

Richard, that sounds like you are a little confused. Is BG tormating (?) you again?

Nobody is tormenting me Markus. I am in agony with my back today. I am concentrating more on not moving than on anything else.
I'm going to have a few brandies tonight. That's a certainty.

I let the first A with purpose (?) !!!, knowing you would change it to a S.

BTW, you know what a Sau in German is in English.

"With purpose"....just... "purposely" or "deliberately".

Is 864 winnable? Both 3S are buried early and my best score is 63.

I've not played it yet Ken, but I can get a 3S into the tableau with just 5 in the waste.

I'm being kept busy this morning getting everything ready for going away tomorrow morning. I did manage to skive off sufficiently to win #864 though Ken. Solution attached if required, but if you hadn't missed the early play to get a 3S into the tableau you might have won it unassisted. Try that first.

Touché, or perhaps if things keep progressing the way they are, toupe! The delights you have to look forward to. Oh! Sorry. The things you have to reminisce about.

BTW, in case it's not clear, I was lamenting my own receding hairline. I am becoming follicly challenged.
