Short story of Free cell (Card game in windows OS)

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.
