Since we don't have a consensus on the exchange format, I'm just using
output generated by my solver and analysis program.
My recursive solver is able to find a 36-move solution for FcPro deal
#6240. So, I decided to look for flaws in this 55-move solution from my
standard solver.

Since most of the cards are moved as the highest-valued card only once,
I classify their moves as efficient. Very possibly a mistake on my part.
That leaves 11 cards used for multiple highest-valued card moves. Here
are the specifics.
(a): move sequence number
(b): move in daj-extended standard notation
(c): highest-valued card being moved, a multi-card move has a (+)
(d): target card, ec = empty column, fc = freecell
(a) (b) (c) (d)

Most of the moves involve storing a card in a freecell until it can be
placed on top of a destination card. Do you see anything, anywhere in
this solution that seems inappropriate?
