[Retros] Another improvement (7 gxh8N#)

[andrew buchanan]

Hi Nicolas & Noam,

Thanks for offering me a part of the nice gxhN in 6.5. I am honoured,
but I think the mechanism (dropping the rook onto a protected square)
is quite generic.

However... ummm... this is a bit embarrassing: I think I published a
different gxhN in 6.5 here already on Tuesday 12th! :-) Hiro's latest
summary was on Monday 11th. (See item 3 in the copied mail further
down.) What do you want to do?

Separate to Hiro, I've been maintaining a spreadsheet of all the
results here, and I will distribute it (and a derived text file for
those who aren't into PCs, Noam :-) ) later today when I've updated it
for all the heroic recent results.

Cheers,
Andrew.
