Solitaire StrategySolitaire Strategy
1. Always play an Ace or Deuce in Solitaire wherever you can immediately
2. Always make the play or transfer that frees (or allows a play that frees) a downcard, regardless of any other considerations
3. When faced with a choice, always make the play or transfer that frees (or allows a play that frees) the downcard from the biggest pile of downcards
4. Transfer cards from column to column only to allow a downcard to be freed or to make the columns smoother
5. Don't clear a spot unless there's a King immediately waiting to occupy it.
6. Only play a King that will benefit the column(s) with the biggest pile of downcards, unless the play of another King will at least allow a transfer that frees a downcard.
7. Only build your Ace stacks (with anything other than an Ace or Deuce) when the play will:
Not interfere with your Next Card Protection
Allow a play or transfer that frees (or allows a play that frees) a downcard
Open up a space for a same-color card pile transfer that allows a downcard to be freed
Clear a spot for an immediate waiting King (it cannot be to simply clear a spot)
8. Don't play or transfer a 5, 6, 7 or 8 anywhere unless at least one of these situations will apply after the play:
It is smooth with it's next highest even/odd partner in the column
It will allow a play or transfer that will immediately free a downcard
There have not been any other cards already played to the column (it will be the second card from the top of the column)
You have absolutely no other choice to continue playing (this is not a good sign!)
9. When you get to a point that you think all of your necessary cards are covered and you just can't get to them, IMMEDIATELY play any cards you can to their appropriate Ace stacks. You may have to rearrange existing piles to allow blocked cards freedom to be able to go to their Ace stack. Hopefully this will clear an existing pile up to the point that you can use an existing pile upcard to substitute for the necessary covered card.
