Waiting for Brexit playing Microsoft Solitaire

On Tuesday afternoon, October 15th  2019 I achieved the 100 successful completion of 390 World Events played on Microsoft Solitaire Game Collection. There were only five games instead of the usual 20 or 30 and only two levels of difficulty,  Easy and Medium, none at Hard or Expert. I have only finished twice in the top ten of the allocated group of 100 other players worldwide, with an average 450000 participating and 24 occasions finishing in the top 25 because I spread play throughout the 34 hours of the event. In this instance taking 9 mins and 36 seconds compered to the present leader at 3 mins 53 and the 82nd at over 36 minutes.

In  2016 I commenced to play the first of over 1000 Daily Challenges  which cover the four levels of difficulty and the five types of Solitaire games Classic Solitaire Klondike where I have become a Grandmaster of the second level winning 97% of the 662 games  played, as I have at Spider, winning 98% of 627; with first level Grandmaster achieved  in Pyramid 82% of 268 games and a Tri Peak with 76% of 347 games. My favourite game  is Free Cell where Grandmaster level 5 has been attained with 98% of the 926 games played won.

In 43 of the months of play all four bronze, silver, gold and diamond badges were attained, the exception the first three months until I worked out how to play the games of greater difficulty. Because of the time usually required to  complete an expert level game in only nine instances has the Perfect level been attained in a month, completing all 150 or 155 games in the month, and four of these this year to-date.

When I commenced to play Solitaire games, as a break from computer chess, the focus was on the Star Club unlocking 93 packs in five collections of  a total of 954 have been completed, 83% of the total available, earning 1749 stars and 70 crowns.
