Comments: Way to go with your best scores everybody. I, and I'm sure many others, am at a lack of playing time and therefore have no conceivable change to bump a second or two off my record (I say 'record' with no 's' because Im fairly sure Im not beating my beg and int times ;) ) And Joe with the 17 down there...Joe Nuss? Good job man.

Comments: Good to hear from you, Lanyje. I'm not anywhere close to sub-50 right now, as I have been about 5 seconds slow over the past couple weeks. It is a bit frustrating that I can't consistently improve my speed, but rather I take one step forward, one step back, etc.

Comments: Hey guys - no new records, nothing to worry about. I've gone back to playing expert, cause I really think it's more fun than intermediate. The last days I've been on sub-50-pace and today I got a new 49 - my sub-50 number 18 so far. I don't think I will beat my record soon though, but at least I'm on my old pace again. Bye - Lanyje

Comments: Matthew: We use the honour system here. If you say you've got 78, we believe you, unless there's a very good reason not to. We've had a few cases of those in the past.... ;) The best way to present your best times is making a video. We use a program called Camtasia, a desktop recorder. You need a heavy computer, but the results are pretty cool. Check the Videos link to find out more.

Comments: I am new here, but how does one go about making a score "official." Do you go solely on screen-shots? I have had 78 twice, but I did not get any pics. Anyways, I have a dorky story... I just taught my gf how to play, and of course she is addicted. She just recently went sub-200, which for some may be easy, but I wish I had a picture of the look on her face. :)

Comments: I hardly finish any games these days, but when I finish them, I'm quite satisfied with the score. Today I got 72, 73 and 75 and missed a very fast game at 37. :( I was so angry I missed (would definitely have been sub-70) that I forgot to make a screenshot. Sorry for that, because it was a VERY fast board. At intermediate I missed a possible sub-20, but I'm not sure of that. Good luck eveyone.

Comments: ha, it's pretty sad, i won my 24 second intermediate game on one of the dream boards. I got it on the second game i started while i was goofing around just after waking up early in the morning, so i was totally unprepared. i recognized that it would be a record however, and went slow at the end to prevent losing it, because all i needed was to shave 1 second off my previous record to get to <100.

Now I can smile again and start to quest for the 16. I hope your wrist gets better soon, Andrew, but I'd like to mention that playing with the left hand isn't that bad at all: it gave me a 17. BTW, I believe you live in nordrhein-westphalen (or something), isn't it? I've been in Aachen two weeks ago!

I tried to play with my left hand then and it was quite impossible. I was lucky, because I could play after a few days, despite my bruise. :-) BEN, DON'T READ MANU'S MESSAGE, YOU ARE GOING TO GET A HEART-ATTACK!!! ;-) Please beat your record, my friend.

As I don't understand english perfectly, I had understood that your 200-something was in expert and your missed 57 in inter ! Anyway, I'm glad to tell you all that yersterday night I got my third sub-20 on inter: a 19 ! I know someone who would be very happy to have a record of 16 with only 3 sub-20... Something funny is that I've never hit any 17, 18, 20 or 23, but lots of 21, 22, etc... Have fun everybody, Manu.

Any great times for any of you ? Anything new about the "loop phenomenon" that Matt had noticed ? I don't think that 2 months away from computers made me lost speed. I've hit 3 or 4 "22" on inter and 3 expert boards under 80, which is not so bad for me... But i can't be happy with just that of course ! Have fun Manu.

Comments: Damien, I didn't realize you could get several sub-60's per day. I'm not sure if I've ever finished three sub-60's in one day. Of course, I should have had many such days, but I screw up too many games. I have a 54 and 57 today, so maybe I can conquer the barrier tonight. One thing I haven't been able to do lately is challenge my current record of 52, and I'd rather beat that than get 1000 sub-60's. Marc, I hope you don't jump past me with a 51 or something, cuz that would bum me out. I hope you get a 53, though.

Comments: Dan: I've been playing larger and higher-density fields for the past couple of days. Also trying a bit of non-flagging at expert. Not my style, definately... I've only finished a handful of games *ever* that way. I've started playing regularly again just now. Am yet to get below 70. Of course, a couple of weeks ago, I equalled my record. I was convinced that I would break my record that night, and I had several excellent opportunities. Unfortunately, I failed at all, either due to guessing or screwing up. One game would have been a 51-52. So damn fast... I'm going to devote all my time to regular expert again. A night like that is bound to come by again...

Comments: Hello all, No news here, either. Just thought I'd check in. I lowered my expert score by a second, down to 72, and have blown some good games that probably would have been sub-70. I haven't had as much time to play this summer, with my old computer getting struck by lightning and all, and I'm just now getting used to the new one. Also, I'm back in school at the U of Iowa, so there are plenty of ladies that are getting more of my attention than minesweeper recently. I suppose that when it does get cooler out, I'll be playing a bit more. My updated goals now are 1-another sub 20-65, by November 1. We'll see. Happy sweeping! Lance

Comments: Very few of the fastest players seem to be breaking their records anymore. Is it lack of interest, lack of computer access, lack of more speed, just too busy to play? I suppose the warm weather of summer has something to do with the lack of playing. I know I haven't been playing quite as much lately and my speed has taken a step backward... just wondering how everyone else is doing.

Comments: Tim, if you have a Yahoo email address, can't you just go to mail.yahoo.com? Or is Damien's account full again? My sweeping recently has been non-existent - first week of school almost finished, with after-school volleyball practices making my average day 7am - 5pm... add in homework, and I haven't played more than 5min of minesweeper this week. So it will probably be a long while before I get any new best times.

Comments: One thing i've noticed a lot of people doing is checking every square by double-clicking the squares nearby. The double click is more meant to be used to clear large numbers of squares that you know are not mines, not as a way of finding mines. It is also MUCH slower to play this way, you have to click 2 or 3 times more than someone who doesn't do this in order to win a game.

Comments: The weather here in austria is fine, but it is not good for sweeping (too hot for me). All my best times were made when it was cold. Last winter the central heating did not work and I was able to cut 736 seconds off my expert time. :-)

Comments: This is getting unbelievable! I had a lot of good/great boards one after the other resulting in 18x1, 19x3, 20x5 and 21x3. Again, no record. I had one board where I had to click one more square to finish but accidentally I clicked on a adjacent square and boom! I was dead with .... 16 on the clock. On another board, I died with three more squares to click (all next to each other) with .... 14 on the clock. What is going on? It's stupid, but it really feels like something is holding me from breaking my record. Why oh why? What have I done wrong? I'm an honest boy who tries to live following the Bible :)

Comments: Bob, I play custom boards quite often. I play 24x30 with 202 bombs, and have won that twice, most recently in 281 seconds. Would you like to see a screenshot of the game that I won, and maybe some screen shots of some close games (less than 20 mines left to mark)? Lance Votroubek

Comments: This is my first time on this site. I have been playing on a custom board, 24x30, with 140 mines. My best time is 193. I believe that the 24x30 board is the largest possible. Is anybody else playing custom?

Comments: I think I have the worst minesweeper situation of most people. I sit on an antique wooden chair with a rigid back and a desk that's too short to fit my legs upright underneath (most are too short though). When I move the keyboard vertically to fit my mouse more towards the center of my body, it hangs off the back of the desk and makes a clicking noise as I hit F2 after every game. And to top it all off, it is situated not too far from my house's kitchen, which brings a whole other list of annoyances. Damn you people with plush, luxurious computer set-ups! damn you all!

Comments: Guess what? another 18! I was playing during lunchtime at work. A really great board showed up, but since I hardly play on this computer, I don't feel comfortable with this mouse, so that I couldn't play at best... At home, it might have been a 16. Damn again I hope the weather is as good where you guys are than it is right here...

Comments: Man, I just got my fifth 18. Why does it always take forever to beat my record (79x7 before hitting 76; 20x9 before the first sub20)? And I saw the timer jump to 18 just in the end... Damn! Oh well, it's bedtime in my country. Let's try again tomorrow. I wish everyone a little more luck than me. goodnight

Comments: Just took two secs of my int time...by far the best board I've ever come across.

Since I havn't played much lately I didn't expect any record breaking times and thus didn't bother to use camtasia. I did get a screenshot though...

Comments: Spot on, Marc.

I was kind of a victim of the 9x9 board thing, cause I got my second 1-sec beginner, but it was on a 9x9 board (which is 'slightly' easier to get). Still damn happy about it though.

Anyway, I think the general consensus was that everyone stick to 8x8. If we do want to accept 9x9 boards, my suggestion was to put a note beside the record to say it's on a 9x9 board. Think about it, damien?
