OK - this time around see if you can get to the top in less than 100 games or inside 1 month.

Rainelec holds the record at 35 days.

If anyone wants to summarise achievements I could put it in the unofficial tourney site for others to see.

Just as easy to have a top 5 if you have them. I'll add it tomorrow. Bedtime now... after a dozen or so moves

Not sure which it's a bigger test of though, my playing or my patience. Slow or what!?

Like watching grass grow
like watching paint dry
Slow as an asthmatic snail.
As slow as molasses in January

Come on - surely you can add to this.

But to answer your question - yes, one certainly needs a LOT of patience in this competition.

Waiting for the Cubs to win the WS.
Watching a drag race between a Prius and a Hyundai.
Living on an island with a soccer ball.
Trying to figure out how to lick my elbow.
