> When checking for possible moves I found that there is an advantage in starting on the right and moving to the left.

Well, the big piles are hardest to clear, so that's where you should start.

I was very surprised, however, that one should prioritize deck->table over table->table.


I think this is a consequence of 3 cards, 3 times around the deck. You have to prioritize getting to all the cards in the deck.



It's hand-curated data. No kidding it's missing.


Please learn the difference between LOOSE and LOSE.


Lose is loose that's lost an O, loose has to be looser than lose to have space for the extra O.


That seems to be a loosing battle.
