Obviously I meant later today! Will have to rewin some games as I didn't save them originally.
Here are some more from your wish list to be getting on with.
Richard. |

Richard, I don't know if I should direct this query at you or the Black Knight, but his solution for Binary Star leaves the 10 of diamonds and the 3 of spades on the foundation piles with the 5 of hearts and the King of Clubs to play. In the words of John MacEnroe's wife "It ain't working!" |

Hi Audrey,
Apologies for the Binary Star I pirated from Ken. It was very close though. I got Dire Straits to assist with the second one.
"That ain't workin' that's the way you do it".
Let me know when you're ready for more.
Richard.

Richard, Not only are you the master of PGS, but you are the master of abbreviations. D.I.Y.? And on another post, F.A.O.? I think the first one is do it yourself, but the best I can come up with for the second is For American Oglers? Am I right? Do you know me THAT well? |

Hi Audrey,
These are the games I've not won, with the exception of Frog. I won it with the number shown, but cannot (be annoyed to) emulate that feat.
Forwards & Backwards
British Canister
Kings & Aces
Picture Patience
Queens Jacks
Robert
Frog 78069337. (Frog Ameriken Only?)
I should manage to help you with everything on your list other than those.
Richard. |

Hi, Richard; I think that Thomas mis-classified Frog; it's a hard, hard one and has no reason nor rhyme. Everything is working except PGS is freezing more often ... ?? shocked at what I'm up to. TTF
I doubt if Ken knows that acronym, or was around at the time of Tommy Handley. Audrey |

Hi Audrey,
If it's freezing it suggests that you are trying to run too many things simultaneously.
Try doing just one DL at a time and disconnect from net between times.
I won Frog at my second attempt! Divine intervention again? Hate the game with avengence.
Tommy Handley eh? "She knows,you know".

Hi Audrey,
Did Hilda Baker's catchphrase twig with you? Another of her gems was "I must get a little hand put on this watch".
OK, back to business. |

Richard, 49 is a great game. It took me 2 years to win it. Try #371399969. Enjoy! Ken |

Two years to win it? You'd have been about six when you started then.
Will try your suggested game. Thanks, (subjectively). |

F.A.O. Ken. Thanks for 371399969, which obliged reluctantly. Now doubled my win score with Forty Nine.Not sure I would have persisted without knowing it was winnable though.
F.A.O. Audrey.
Here are some more games from your list. Have skipped some meantime, but will get back to them. |

Richard, Paul is a good PGS player, much better than me, and he's helped me out with PLENTY of games, but it was me that gave Paul the winning number for Reserves. FYI Ken |

Hi Ken,
I stand corrected although Paul emailed it to me and I made an assumption. I'll also correct you about your own PGS prowess, you're far better than you think.
OKKM, YHS, Richard. |

Apologies re a couple of these uploads. The German Patience one won't work for some reason, and I've posted the wrong ~ for the Grounds For Divorce. May have been at the wine gums.
Will return to German later. |

Hi Audrey,
You've no idea how much effort it took to re-win this game. Having a winning number is practically no help. Here is the finished article.
I don't anticipate playing this again, far less winning it.

Todays contribution.
This just leaves five on your list.
Ken Millar may have a Spaces and Aces, and Rouge et Noir should be right up Ken Blackwells street as it is so similar to Diavalo. How about it guys? |

Two more bite the dust.
This only lesves Zodiac, plus the two in the previous message.
Pheidippides can see Athens, and will soon die of exhaustion,(unless some kind soul chips in with the last three. |

Richard, Have you looked at the stats page for Spaces and Aces? There is Ken Blackwell at 100% and the next person is at 10%, so he's the one you need to appeal to. I have solved Rouge et Noir , Wheatsheaf, and Zodiac (so if you need help with those, let me know.) |

Hi Ken (M),
Just got your posting. I only need a saved game of Rouge et Noir to complete the Audrey marathon. Have you got one? |

Thanks Ken. I managed to win your number, although I failed to re-win mine!
That should be your list complete Audrey. I could have saved myself an enormous amount of work if I'd have saved them originally.
Be good,
Richard. |
