Is the chess method for digging still the best one out there?
Method I'm referring to:

Awesome thanks to the people who thought this up!
It's a really good method that's gotten me very far. But I'm wondering if new discoveries have been made since then?

I got to 38 gems with 199 shovels using chess method.
yess, best method so far.
Numbers the same for me without using this.
Gem is almost always on the sides for me. I think I found them in the middle maybe twice?
I also had about 150,000 fossil thingees with just my usual routine of checking in at breakfast/lunch/when I get home from work/when I go to bed (four times a day). I have no idea how but I far outpaced all of my neighbors, some by 100,000.
My personal pattern is hitting all four corners and then just going from there.
How does that equate to "Used no method at all"?
You know what I mean. That one thread is going off on 12 dimensional chess level strategies.
