Jocke » 25 000 on bricks VI sounds a little hard I think, but it should be doable. Anyone who solved the level "Santas Chimney" btw?
Ojomax » Working on my B7 designs right now...
Eckhard » Something's wrong again. I sent the last message only one time. Greetings to Jyrki!
Eckhard » You're a twen now? All the best for your future! Have fun!
Eckhard » You're a twen now? All the best for your future! Have fun!
Eckhard » You're a twen now? All the best for your future! Have fun!
Eckhard » You're a twen now? All the best for your future! Have fun!
Ojomax » BricksH 2 in November sounds more like it.
Jyrki Lahtonen » Eckhard, I'm impressed with your speed at designing new sets. Of course I will participate, but cannot predict how much time to play I will have. Another starting date won't change that though!
Eckhard » Hello, it's very quiet the last time, isn't it? I'm planning to start BricksH 2 in March, what do you think?
Jyrki » Hi Jocke! Good question. I tried it for may be half an hour, but couldn't get the master up any significant way. I will give it another go, because I think (hope) that I'm onto something.
Jocke » Anyone who solved the Fab_ago Wondi remake yet?
Eckhard » Thank you, Boris!
Ojomax » Methinks we saw a classic case of Alberto Zorilla yesterday... (I guess that's on-topic here )
Ojomax » Andreas appears to have plans for B7
Ojomax » Now 6xx. This once again shows the upside of not catching sleep... I figured out the solution last night, in my bed
Ojomax » I finally successfully NTYIPed Schnappi!! Though it's still only 8xx, and it took another 60 hours or so...
Ojomax » The whole Finnish javelin team is rumoured to be in great winter shape. It will be another 16-6 this summer.
Jocke » That was a surprise! Wissman was great! How about Tero Pitkämäki?
Ojomax » Silver for Wissman. Not bad.
Ojomax » Holm wins.
Ojomax » Wissman makes the final despite a tactically worrying semi...
Ojomax » Holm clears 2.36 and is very close to gold!
Ojomax » Holm over 2.32 with his first and ensures a spot in top 2...
Ojomax » Kallur out with an injury... Holm clears 2.30 with last attempt and remains in contention for the win, though Rybakov looks frighteningly strong.
Jocke » Thanks! Kallur Holm and Wissman need their support!Congrats to your 65!!
Ojomax » Evilä skipped this indoor season to prepare for Beijing, so no top 8 spot for us in any event... I'm officially supporting Swedes this time
Jocke » I don´t really know how to get to the 65-club. It is very tricky! Go Holm and Kallur!! Is Evilä participating ?
Ojomax » Jocke do you have a handle now? And yes I'm glued to the screen watching Valencia for 7 hours a day, no time for chess/bricks
Jocke » @ sampsa: Are you watching the indoor world championchips in Valencia? Much spanish these days btw lol!
Jocke » 93 at Primavera at the moment. This reminds me a lot of Aldebaran. I also played some chess yesterday, almost tied against a 1774 player. But I lose more than I win LOL...
Eckhard » Yes, you have a good chance to win this one.
Ojomax » You think I could have chances in Primavera? After all I have a whopping 6 days to play with this time.
Ojomax » Nostalgy 192... half greens now
Ojomax » Octo 184
Jyrki » http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quylthulg
Eckhard » Congrats!
Eckhard » Congrats!
Eckhard » Congrats!
Jocke » Congrats! Now you just has to sit back and relax for Bricks VII!
Ojomax »
Ojomax » Something like solving all levels in Bricks VI brings about the sort of state of absolute bliss and joy that you only experience a few times in your life.
Ojomax » I couldn't help shedding a few tears. It was such an emotional moment.
Ojomax » OCTO SOLVED!!!!
Jocke » Another 100 moves is down! Maybe I can get it right this time? Congrats to your new records Sampsa! And also congrats to Eckhard & Robert for leading the damn thing
Jocke » Yes it was nice to see! It does not happen very often. But it was amazing! I did improve > 100 moves on crawler. Let´s see if another 100 will come soon.
Ojomax » Jocke - nice to see the rarity of a Swede breaking a T&F WR!
Ojomax » Table progressing slowly but surely towards Eckhard&Fabrice's record. 359/1555 now... (the steps have gone from 777/2999 to 2222, 1777 and 1666... at some point I started doing it on purpose )
Ojomax » After an effort of what I fear might be in the area of 120 hours, I improve my Table by 101 again. Luckily not with my initial path.
Ojomax » Finally new before-barrier packing in Table! (Only took a century to find...) I'm not actually happy as all this means is that I have to opt 2 packings instead of 1...
Jocke » Second try on Crawler: 357. The final moves are not difficult, but the sliders are really in the way. Lets see if I can make 2 more improvements 100 moves each...
Ojomax » Finally got a neatish post-barrier solution in Table, only took some 30 hours to find... so that brings my Table to the superb score of 572
Ojomax » For yesterday and today I've mostly been NTYIPing Table... not a very pleasant experience
Ojomax » ...but I still managed to surpass you in the amount of greenery.
Ojomax » By the way, I'm not sure if I've said this already, but congrats for the 40K! Even with a helpful teammate that's one hell of an achievement... perhaps I'll catch up with you in a decade or so
Ojomax » Thanks Eckhard! It's way too many months between records for me. Hope to find more time for Bricks now
Eckhard » A week late: happy birthday, Sampsa!
Jyrki » This daily puzzle I can solve: Nxe5, dxe5 and then Qe6!
Jyrki » Thanks Jocke & Sampsa! Mucho appreciated. I was at around 80 moves for a couple of weeks as I was clearing the barriers in the wrong order! Crawler initial 479
Jocke » I liked your solution very much Jyrki! 53/401 is outstanding! I got only 70 moves btw lol! Too little time and so much work!
Ojomax » Congrats Jyrki! I get a lovely deadline of 05.01.08 for a giant puzzle like Crawler, lucky me
Jocke » Congratulations Jyrki!!!! Good luck on Crawler too! And happy new year everyone!
Jyrki » Sampsa? A link to the Javelin levels could be nice!
Jyrki » Aarghh. My Shorty is thoroughly stuck at 53/401. The early moves look ugly, but I'm happy with most parts of the solution. I don't think that will be enough to win it.
Ojomax » Merry Christmas everybody!
Jocke » I wish you all a very nice and happy christmas!
Ojomax » New Boris will be up before Xmas. Gods I've been lazy lately... (and I meant to compete in keyb 12 and even got decent results but forgot about the deadline )
Eckhard » Thanks, Jocke! Sampsa: what about Free Me, it's a Switching Quyilthulg level.
Eckhard » Thanks! Sampsa, what about Free Me, it's a Switching Qyulthulg level...
Jocke » Eckhard, I solved all 3 of the latest keyboard levels! Very good level-design!
Jocke » Wow! Congrats to him and hope he will find 52! It is very difficult to opt indeed.
Ojomax » Jyrki's on the way to win Shorty. He's at 53 now and not at all satisfied
Eckhard » Thanks for your good wishes. Got 3 excellent levels, 2 of them really tough nuts suited for B VII.
Jocke » Ok! I play the keyboard levels sometimes, I have little time these days. I too work on some bricks 7 design...
Ojomax » Congrats Eckhard for marrying his wife
Ojomax » Jocke - I've got an unfinished sketch for one possible B7 design. You playing Keyb 12? I think I'm going to return to Keyb activity...
Jocke » Hi there! I hope you are all healthy and happy! @ Sampsa: Have you made any bricks 7 designs?
Jocke » Hi there! I hope you are all healthy and happy! @ Sampsa: Have you made any bricks 7 designs?
Ojomax » TM 125
Ojomax » 54 now.
Ojomax » Jocke - 57 now. First snow of the year today, I'll do a Boris on it tomorrow (not today 'cos I'm lazy ) These problems can be very difficult you know!
Jocke » Sub 100 is feasable at the moment But did you look at todays chess-problem? What did that guy think back in 1958? Anyway, I really want to see the solutions to September rain...
Ojomax » Anything on Shorty yet? I'm on 58 after not much play... Sub-50 takes another path.
Eckhard » It's OK again.
Ojomax » Boris will return tomorrow!
Jocke » My name is Jockebricks
Jocke » Sampsa, do you want to play some chess with me today? I am online at Babas chess from now on. Congrats to your amazing 139 on Meander!
Ojomax » *drumroll* We have a winner!!
Eckhard » Aaah, Meander!
Ojomax » The record is 139 moves
Ojomax » Jocke - all three guesses are wrong, and your chess is even further away. 30.Qh4?? Bxe5 (for example) 31.Rh3 Kf8 fails to win, and anyway I can't see how anything could be better than a mate in 4.
Jocke » Oops! I meant Qh4...
Jocke » Btw Sampsa, I think the solution to todays chesspuzzle is a little strange. Shouldn´t Qh6 and then Th3 be shorter and better??
Jocke » I try with a triple guess this time: Tempus Fugit, Fish Pond or Nightshift?
Ojomax » No (though I deeply distrust our first chamber there)...
Jocke » Is it "Crowded"?
Ojomax » Good, I was already worried It is a B5 level though.
Eckhard » It was my guess.
Ojomax » Eckhard - is that your guess, or did you play that yourself?! In any case, Marco and me don't have 105 there (we did improve to 111 though).
Eckhard » Hovermaster 105
