That, my friend, is evidence of a power working against you. I suggest a priest.

Ok, played with chinese checkers more. Got scores to record, but a score of 90 and 80 is still impossible. You cant move 10 pieces all the way across the board in 10 moves, it doesnt even make sense.

With a 90 You have to only move each peice once!!!

ONCE!

That means every single move you make needs to get your piece into a finishing spot. Thats very very impossible.

Quite right, it is impossible to achieve this score playing by the rules. Using the maximum number of players, there are still no combonations that would allow you to complete the game in 10 moves.

Its not a huge deal, but just harping on it in case your bored.

Found a study on the least number of moves it takes to win a one person game of chinese checkers. 2 player game makes it easier.

Even in a one player game the minimum number of moves is 27(73 points). And thats only in a 1 player game...i cant imagine 2 player being near that easy. Although sometimes you can get a free move or two off the opponent, it generally slows you down, cause the computer builds up blocks.
