whats the most amount of FreeCell games you have won in a row?

[brxndxn]

My dad and my mom are fiercly competitive with each other... and my dad loves FreeCell..

My dad had it up to 400+ games (starting at 0) and my mom noticed.. So she started..

I think my mom is winning by far - mostly because she works at home from her computer. She has like 1400 games starting at 0 and not losing a single one on her computer.

My dad is at about 700 now and he hasn't lost one.

FreeCell starts to get very easy usually with an occasional very difficult game.

BTW, when I worked at a computer store, I had an old lady come in with an old 486 and she said she wanted me to save just her FreeCell score. She said she'd pay whatever it costs. Well, I looked at her score, and she was up to about 4000 games. It took me forever to figure out how to save her score and move it to her new computer. But, I did. She paid about $200 for it too.

My dad loves that game. Right now his high streak is 273, but I formatted their hard drive a while back, and im pretty sure it was higher than that before. He's only lost like 2 games out of 500 some.

that's the impossible one, hence -1

62 up to a couple of days ago. If I hadn't had a brainfart confusing the ace of spades with the ace of clubs, I'd still probably be adding to it.

Well, I cannot speak for myself, but I have a friend who has streak of over a hundred. Every FreeCell game is beatable, so it can be done. He is a little crazy about the game, however, as he has admitted to thinking about moves for 45 minutes before actually making one.

Actually there are like a dozen games that are proven unbeatable... i don't remember the link tho

 

[glugglug]

3 impossible game numbers:
-1
-2
11982

Don't know what the others are. Actually there is supposedly some computer programs made to automate the proof that they were all possible and the programs were able to solve game numbers 1-32000 EXCEPT 11982.

On my PalmV, I'm on a 35 game win streak. My overall record is 44-1. My loss is because I did a /R instead of a /U on the graffiti pad by accident, so it restarted my game.

I quit playing on Windows because you can cheat to keep from ever losing.

I constantly play free cell while I am on the computer, anyways I have 835 right now..I'm still working on it.

 

[jarfykk]

My mom and I won something like 26 (ish) in a row before I blew it. She still reminds me about this from time to time.

I recently lost a game and wanted to know how it compares to others. I have played a total of 7971 games and have won 7962 with my best winning streak being 3282 in a row.
