1000 Wins in a Row

at Spider Solitaire at Expert level

I enjoy playing spider solitaire and have been playing for decades with Spider Solitaire by PeopleFun on my iPhone. In 2021, I decided to challenge myself to consecutive wins. So I reset my statistics and began not to abandon every single game. And I achieved 1000 wins in a row at Expert level (4 suits).


(addition: in Dec 2023, I achieved 2000 wins in a row)


Among the solitaire games, spider solitaire is one of the hardest games to win. It took several years for me to get 50% wins. The winning chances of a good player are considered to be about 1 in 3 games. Source: WikipediaAccording to a research, 2 out of 32000 games are not winnable. I was lucky not to have such games during my challenge. I am keeping challenging myself to see how far I can go. 


This is the screen shot of the 1000 wins.


1000 plays, 1000 wins, and 0 abandoned at expert level (4 suits)


The most challenging game took 8 hours and 5671 moves to win, where I had to undo thousands of times. 


 The most challenging game in the first 1000 wins. 8 hours of play time took a week actually.
