Nicely done @e-pluszak! Had to sacrifice your moving Amazon piece to get the win in time! Well played!
Weekly Challenge 1: Amazons Handicap
Maybe well played, but also very lucky, especially on moves 3, 4 and 6. Still thanks 😊
Yeah, you definitely need a bit of luck to get a good score, but you still played it as best as you could, and the last move wasn't necessarily obvious.
12 is insane… 11 seems so improbable. I’ll keep trying nonetheless.
@statmatt I've kind of noticed that effect, it does play marginally faster when the controls are lower, but it just times out

I've played twice on 30s+5s and it timed out both times.
--- Edit ---
That said you're right, it does play much faster on 1m+1s specifically
@shinuito Ah yes, I think we need to make an adjustment for the two consecutive moves (the move and the the arrow placement) that Amazons has. What I said should hold true for any other game on PlayStrategy.
I expect you've got less chance of a timeout with a lower increment. I would suggest using 1+1 or 2+1 for this challenge.

9 moves! I was very lucky!
My best so far is only 16 so I'll just share a funny fail :)
