Harder puzzle?  Hardly; rather difficult to make the wrong moves

Darkfire I am grateful for anybody who takes time and effort to post a puzzle.  I try to be funny sometimes, often with disasterous results but I keep trying.

I still say it was easy though.  Maybe I am just to good for my age..

Maybe it's easy, but it's a useful pattern.

Might take some work if you don't recognise it.

thks guys for posting
