I have become a fan of the Klondike game, and it brings a question that you might want to add to the FAQ. In almost all deals, the game is winnable. I don't know how random the deals actually are, but is this the case with an actual deck and Klondike played on a table? In other words, if you were smart enough to make the right choices all the time, as to which of two equal card files to move--say two files headed by a black 7, either of which could be moved to a file whose bottom is a red 8, could almost all of the real games be won? Your game tells you at once if the game can no longer be won, and you can undo the goof and choose the other black 7 to move. Similarly, your game tells you if you try to move a card which will be needed further on into the game to a position in which it could not then be used, that the game can no longer be won, and you can go back and undo the mistake and pursue a different tack. If a person was clairvoyant, could almost all of real card games of Klondike be won?
Thanx for your answer. I'm sure this question must occur to other players. Perhaps you have answered before, and you can just direct me to the url where the answer is. --doug -- Blessed are the peacekeepers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A. M. Greeley
