we had a good arcade here at one time, but the games were loaded with malware, so it was dismantled.

Does anyone play chess?

we should get it for the forum, I used to play all the time a while back but have not played in ages and was thinking of dipping my toe back into it....

had a couple friends
rookies enouh to want to play 4 d chess

ie four players each his home fth of 4eight then onto the regular table

i talked them into each playing one game against me rather than
didnt have it so novel as theyd happy to play

thinking thinking

what i should have done
was given them each made the forth players moves given the three us sat at the table.

never done that math...

my minesweeper game continues to notch up
mabe it was just seeing how fast it could be legitimately played, dunno

but ive started seeing gameplay i hadnt noticed before
has really cut into the number of times i have to guess

didnt expect to pick up much more on that front but i have

cool
still aint beat 125

that was the easy game of a lifetime
so far...

might break 100 should one like that ever come around again...

Amazed how much further I’m able to see into the game board. Stuff I never saw before where now in situation I used to have to weight odds before choosing a guess to proceed with I no longer have to

But there is still the dreaded 50-50 box

4 squares in a box with two mines in it
50 50 odds no matter which one box you pick to click on

If you don’t hit a mine the block is solved
Often a game winds up with two of these problems

Even three of them sometimes

Way better at figuring the odds when i have to guess
