Here's a challenge for you

[bigbazza]

For all you folk who think Freecell is a simple and wimpy game and not worth trying.

The only game I play is Freecell as it can be a challenge if you play it the way I do.

I try to get as few cards out as I can and try to setup the last move so as many cards go out as possible. 49-50 being the maximum possible as aces and deuces (two's) automatically go out, so you have no control over them once they are exposed.

I have attached a screenshot where 46 cards will go out in one hit when I move the 4 and the 3 under the 5 of Hearts.

The challenge is for you to better 46 and provide a screenshot proof of this.
No proof will be honoured if you don't provide an screendump.

If 46 is beaten I will up the ante.

Maybe I set the bar too high at 46.
Please post your submissions from 30 onwards and we will have credit where credit is due.

Another challenge, when you open freecell, select game, type in -1, or -2.

As far as I know, Freecell has been included in every release of Windows from 95 to Vista. Don't know about W7.

Here is a download site if you want to try it.

FreeCell is the enormously popular solitaire game included with Windows. Because all cards are visible at the start of the game, it is almost entirely a game of skill. Almost all FreeCell positions can be won. The most notable exception is the game #11982 in Microsoft FreeCell and Pretty Good Solitaire.

Win 7 has freecell but I think he is on a mac.

[bigbazza]

Hell's bells. They are much more difficult than the standard version of Freecell, I guess. I will have to give them a try.

Hi bigbazza, I used to play that a lot. Never thought of it as a challenge I might give it a whirl. Sounds like a fun challenge too.

[bigbazza]

That's the trouble TeeCee. Most folk, especially serious gamers, think of it as a ridiculously simple game and it is one way. If you try to exceed a certain number of cards to go out in your last move, then it is a different ball game.

I am unhappy if I get less than 40 to go out in my last move for any game I play.

I save a screenprint of games where I get a large number left, and ready to go out so that I can prove it to any doubters.

The challenge is still out there. How many cards can you MG members get out
in your final move and provide a screenprint before you make that move.

[TeeCee]

Hi bigbazza, it sure is a challenge! Darn, I can get all the aces up, but then when I start to align the rest of the cards, they too automatically go to the aces, then I win again! I'll keep at it, and see if I can get the 3's to hang at the top of the lists... Darn, so close tho!!!

[TeeCee]

OK, I think I got it. I just cannot move any more cards, because the game will end. Here is my screeny, with 46 You are right, it is a challenge !

OK, that one doesn't look very clear, so try this one:

[bigbazza]

I've got up to 49 out.
See if you can equal that
I'm not going to post the screen dump right now.

Bazza

[TeeCee]

Ouch! 49? OK, I'll give it a whirl! You do come up with some good ones too! I like a challenge!

[bigbazza]

I'll go easier on you for now.

Try for 47.

Bazza

[TeeCee]

OK, Bazza, you did say 47, so how is this?

[Zack Magee]

Yeah? Well try to beat this totally-legitimate not-edited screenshot that just happens to be the same dimensions as TeeCee's
