COGST Plate QF - Priest vs. Gardner

Our two contestants are Richard Priest, runner-up in Series 58 versus Martin Gardner, semi-finalist in Series 49.

The game on Apterous.org

Apparently Richard got the first numbers right but inputted it wrong - a real shame although theoretically he would still have lost.

Nice game. When do you want it Gardner? My internet connection is a bit shoddy atm, so I will have to play from Emma's. How about Sunday night on Apterous?

Sounds good, The Plate is a little bit behind the main draw so hopefully we can set the two finals for the weekend after when everyone can watch.

Very high standard in your game, well done to both.

Yes v well played guys, v few maxima missed there. And the highest score of COGST so far, as I'm sure Martin will have noticed!

Would it not be better to finish the Plate quarter-finals before starting on the Plate semis though?

Well I'm hoping Charlie will play his game in the next few days, in which case both semi-finals will be in order. Although in fairness I hadn't realised it was the best score of the competition.

It was frustrating to lose, especially with the numbers thing - I typed in (9 x 4) + 50 x 9 then realised I'd done it in the wrong order

. But at least my apterous play seems to have improved since the recent Kirkulation I suffered.

I'd have been happy for you to do some more practise, I was free all night but that's the past now.
