Rambling:
I have a distant recollection of Shlomi Fish saying that FCS had problems finding a solution if he limited the number of moves. I don't recall him ever saying that he'd been able to resolve that issue. Since then, he's introduced numerous additional filters, but he still has one deal in the first 32,000 that doesn't solve in under 175 moves. If he ever wants to generate a useful solution for this deal, then I think it's time to admit that something is wrong and try to track it down. I'm willing to offer my assistance.
What's the number of the deal that forcing FCS to generate 175 moves? What's the FCS solution for this deal?
In addition, I can supply a solution that can be used to debug FCS and learn where/why it refuses to implement my solution. I'll save specific suggestions about performing the debug until after I find out if Shlomi Fish is interested in outside assistance.
