Thanks to Chee Hui, I'm playing about 20 games of the very addictive msn game Solitaire Showdown with him every day. It's very challenging to play against him, and the slightest distraction can result in a loss. I've had a few interesting results with him. The first one happened sometime during the week. The game was close. So close that it depended on whose double click on the last card got through first. Both could move up, but although I kept clicking, the system deemed that I was second. So sad :(

The 2nd interesting result happened today. Both of us got stuck. Now there's nothing strange about that, except that both of us were stuck at 0-0. None of us had moved a card off the 13 pile or placed a card in the center.



Another first. I've yet to hear of anyone playing against 2 people at once, but that's what jeryl did, with an overall win percentage of 80%. 16-2 against chu huey and 4-3 against me. This is embarrasing. I'm never going to maintain my measly 59% at this rate. Chee Hui complains that he's getting thrashed when it's only 60%. That doesn't happen too often, and when we end it's usually quite even. Looks like I need to find easier targets, haha.

Anyway, jeryl is probably right in saying that I play too much. If I can actually blog about solitaire showdown, I think I'm playing too much of it.
