When I was 17 years old, I played Free cell many times, and I had the belief that I was strongest. I started to play online Free cell with foreign players.
I won the games for many times, but the
belief was broken.
One past day, I have met 3 strong foreign players
online, Dutch, Englishman and Chinese.
They were very strong, especially Dutch and
Englishman seemed to be stronger than me.
Free cell is the game that players send
their cards on the table, the points are piling up by Heart cards. If one player’s point becomes over 100, the
player is loser and then the game ends.
The strongest players’ game started.
In beginning,
The Dutch and the Englishman played the game advantageously. But I and the Chinese
kept on playing patiently.
When the game was closing to the end, the
Chinese and my score were near 100, but the Dutch and the Englishman’s score
were near 90.
The last game started. My cards were worst,
and I thought that I would be loser.
Suddenly, I got one idea, trying to do “Shoot
the moon”.
Shoot the moon is the technique that
colleting all point cards, and if it is done, 26 points are given to the other
all players.
In the beginning, other players didn’t
notice what I was doing because I was collecting point cards. But in near
ending, they noticed, but time was too late. I collected all point cards and “Shoot
the moon” was done. I won the game!
The Dutch and Englishman sent me the
message, “Beautiful!”, “Excellent!”.
And the Chinese sent us the computer virus.
My computer was crushed.
My belief was crushed, too.
