Subject: Seldom won winnable games.

Nice work Ellie2!

Not a bad return for four minute's play!

YES, very nice, roo,...!

Game: 10x0 5764-5;....  Game stats: 17/3/17.6%/1903;....  Player Elo: 2336.743 ▲ 0.613.

while attending a useless meeting...

9x2 5726-12

The knot seemed almost Gordian, to me.

        Game: 7x4 28471-8;
Game stats: 9/2/22.2%/1813;
  Player Elo: 2243.425 ▲ 0.625.

With a 2243 elo, you are expected to win an 1813 elo game every time.  Nothing to brag about.

Well, now my 'Elo' is even better (lol):

        Game: W9x2 14537-10
Game stats: 37/3/8.1%/2128
  Player Elo: 2250.703 ▲ 2.705.

Still, you are expected to win that game on the first try.  Still nothing to brag about.  

Come back with the game elo is greater than your elo.

Sorry, but I've never been dealt a game with an 'Elo' greater than mine, except for the unwinnable games, but I still manage to lose A LOT OF GAMES, ☹!   For example, just last Monday, I lost 3 games in one day.

Never?

Gosh, now I've just won one of these "impossible" games, but its 'Elo' is still 122 points less than mine.

Game: 6x4 22064-5;.....  Game stats: 83/2/2.4%/2210;.....  Player Elo: 2332.415 ▲ 2.703.

This elo system must be terribly flawed.  I can't imagine your 'true' elo would be less than 6,000-8,000.

Assuming your elo is not artificially high for some unknown reason, you are still expected to win that game, perhaps with more careful play than you normally would use.  

Again, nothing to brag about.

It's not "bragging", it's commenting (keeping a record, which is why the thread was started)...

If "keeping a record" is the reason for starting a thread, why not start one titled "Often lost winnable games" and record your losses there?

See the thread "Never lost winnables".

Not the same thing, Tony, but I correctly predicted that you'd think it was.

Either way, still bragging about doing, or not doing, what is expected of you.

... and it remains seldom won 

Wow, roo, I didn't even know 12x0s with stats like that existed - pretty extraordinary for that variant.

Impressive one Roo! Great job!

Er Go, if you look closely you will see a red down arrow, meaning I lost that game. Uberman just picked up the newsworthyness of my post. I suspect the game was in a tournament.  

Tournament, repeated streak play, whatever, absolutely delightful game. Win count augmented by one.

I just checked my recent play and saw the stats at 2/103. I knew someone would tackle it. Then I came here and was totally unsurprised to see Mastermind's comment. Congrats. 

Whoever classifies these games as to difficulty had the extreme temerity to call this one climate 5:

Ain't no way.  I'm betting whoever has beaten it did so by brute force. 

Bummer... a streak ender... most folks didn't have to play that game. makes you wonder about that average streak difficulty thing    eh TN?

Of course the by-naughts are the only variant that God considered when devising the level parameters. Get over it!

He misses Andy Jim 

Well, at least somebody got it.

Game: 7x3 10263-6;.....  Game stats: 10/2/20%/1719;.....  Player Elo: 2308.397 ▲ 0.261.

Unless your elo is artificially inflated, you should beat a 1719 elo game. 

Nothing to brag about.

Game: 7x3 4478-6;.....  Game stats: 31/4/12.9%/1921;.....  Player Elo: 2309.436 ▲ 0.779.

Not "bragging", just "seldom won", which is the title of this thread!

This thread is here (and was started by me) in case some other players want to try it.

        Game: W8x3 9182-9;
Game stats: 53/2/3.8%/2121;
  Player Elo: 2233.630 ▲ 2.804.

This one was a surprise!

Game: 10x0 22922-5;...  Game stats: 25/2/8%/2030;...  Player Elo: 2305.822 ▲ 1.377.

        Game: 7x4 5122-9;
Game stats: 22/3/13.6%/1953;
  Player Elo: 2231.213 ▲ 1.363.

Game: 6x4 20338-5;.....  Game stats: 84/3/3.6%/2168;.....  Player Elo: 2292.800 ▲ 2.677.

Game: 9x1 9358-5;.....  Game stats: 38/4/10.5%/1946;.....  Player Elo: 2235.132 ▲ 1.292.

This was a surprise -- it wasn't that difficult, imo...

Game: 11x0 20647-5;.....  Game stats: 27/2/7.4%/1923;.....  Player Elo: 2245.213 ▲ 1.095.

Toughie, 2C and 4S at top of same column:

Fun game!

Game: 11x0 1148-5;.....  Game stats: 47/4/8.5%/1991;.....  Player Elo: 2244.107 ▲ 1.535.

Difficult game:

Game: 11x0 30516-5;.....  Game stats: 39/4/10.3%/1954;.....  Player Elo: 2299.602 ▲ 0.972.

11x0 13292-10 11/1/9.1%/1823, much more difficult game than yours, Tony, and what did I get for a great solve without cards? Screwed on the ELO. 4077-10 24/5 1905  4062-10 3/1 1910   4006-10 7/1 1912 3909-10 4/1 1913. 

This one barely qualifies as "seldom won"....

Game: 6x5 15640-6;.....  Game stats: 13/4/30.8%/1772;.....  Player Elo: 2248.140 ▲ 0.486.

30.8%??

Maybe we need a definition of "seldom won".

Or can we just make it up as we go?

I pressed the right button on this one.

Game: 6x4 26391-5;.....  Game stats: 105/2/1.9%/2257;.....  Player Elo: 2307.317 ▲ 3.511.

Interesting game -- several deadend paths.

Most honest people consider dead ends loses.

I believe mental health professionals characterize these individuals as sociopaths (i.e., those who cannot even be shamed into communally acceptable behaviors, short of debilitating punishment (à la ball-peen hammer taken hard to offenders' digits)).
