Thanks Paul. I don't think I've played PGS in the past 2 years. That was several computers ago and I've lost all my winning numbers. So I'm now trying to win them all again, and Chessboard was driving me crazy. I'll give your number a try. At least I know it CAN be won. <g>

Audrey, it sounds like it must be time for a new version with some new games! <g>

BTW, has anyone managed to win any of the impossible games like Robert? Or Forwards and Backwards?

Hey, thanks, Paul. It works. I've started using the search feature and it's helpful. Now, I've crept up to 532 solved. Even with your great help, 7 Devils and Springfield are eluding me; I keep getting lost as I follow your hand written directions. Bye Audrey

Jax Ken and Paul,

Since the "Magnificent 7" are never going to be won, what are you doing with yourselves? Are you playing games randomly?

Currently, I am playing my favorite category of games (40 Thieves) and seeing how many games I can win. I'm up to 35 wins in Triple Interchange and shooting for 50.

I don't know if these are the same #'s as Paul has given you, but try 711822721 for Springfield, and 1667951616 for 7 Devils.

Hi
yes they are the same Numbers
I like double klondike and over 700 wins with no loses and playing radom games and closing in on 25000 games played
it looks like Audrey will be winning more than us as if springfield and 7 devils are won She will only have 6 to win if my maths are right

I've got 498250657 for Seven Devils and 1869676800 for Springfield. That will give you a couple more choices.

Springfield is #84128713 for me, havent been playing alot lately but am about to reach my second 1000 win game. I have won 5781 games so far, I just look at wins not total games. I do need a new game to get hooked on.

Ken,

Point Sable? I'm sufficiently impressed! My winning percentage is like 10%.

I've been playing Triple Interchange a lot. I had a 100% winning percentage going until I ran into #894401409 and #1633677952. Help!

Tpa Ken

P.S. Thanks for killing me on the Midshipman stats page! (LOL)

I would say neither is winnable. There are just no options to make a difference. Midshipman kinda caught on with me...alot like Cleopatra.(ROFL)

F.A.O Ken Millar,
Triple Interchange #894401409 and #1633677952 are both impossible to win. Tried everything but no room for manoeuvre, and majority of tableau cards remain inaccessible.
Sorry, Richard
