Comments: | I am a friend of Sriram (in a few of his classes at school) and so perhaps I am biased here, but I am inclined to believe him with his 2sec beginner. He said that he played at least an hour a day on beginner with his finger on F2 which he pressed as soon as the time hit 3sec. Only 4 clicks are required on his board, and so it is definitely possible that you can click 4 times in 2sec over a 10x10 area (I have done it). As for 12sec intermediate... That is amazing; almost unbelievable. I didn't think anyone would beat 14. |

Comments: | Wow! 12 in intermediate! And Gernot got the SAME EXACT BOARD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmmmm, something's not right in the game of minesweeper ..... Also, Sriram Sridharan's 2 second board in beginner is definitely not a 2-second board! There are at LEAST 5 clicks to make. And they are all on opposite sides of the board from each other! He is a very fast sweeper but I have strong doubts that he cleared that board in 2 seconds. Feel free to comment if I'm wrong. |

Also, today i was on pace for a 108 (according to my calculation), but as i moved my mouse too fast the arrow went out of the minesweeper window and i opened Microsoft powerpoint instead of clearing 2 sqaures. |

My scores seem really uneven having a world record in beginner, being ranked 30-something in intermediate, but then being ranked 103rd or 104th and being 48 seconds off the record for expert! I guess that's the way it always goes when you first start playing....... Just like Washburn, I hate math, but I'm very good at it, and I prefer to write and draw rather than compute arc tangets and balance thermonuclear equations...... AND DOES ANYONE KNOW OF OR HAVE ANY LARGE MOUSES!?!? My hand is really starting to hurt just clicking around checking my mail!!!! |

For those of u wondering, i tried playing int. without any flags for about 3 hours, and than when I began using flags again i only needed to mark about half the mines. Which is how i got this incredible (by my standards) new record. Force yourself to play int with out any flags. Trust me, it REALLY helps, A LOT (now i'm back to get my 2 digit time for expert, so watch out...Muhaaaahaahah... |

I click about 5 times in 1 sec but only one of the 5 clicks actually opens something. Now, if i get the quality outta these clicks i can then (maybe) go under 100. And Damien, I can't really e-mail u right now cause if my mom finds out that i'm playing MINESWEEPER, i will be dead.

Comments: | I feel comfortable with my scores, not the best in the world, but pretty good nonetheless. I have plans to improve them in the future, but my main interest recently has been a REAL challenge. I've been solving games with much greater bomb densities, and it's as fun as anything. I'm up to 202 bombs in a 24x30 area. I've solved this once, but I've decided to try to solve it more often, since it's pretty darn tough. So, I'm just wondering if anyone else has solved games with more mines in that same (maximum) area. Thanks! Good site, Damien! |

This class is seemingly the only place I get any sweeping done anymore. Yo, Matt...I'm only a few seconds ahead of you in expert, yet I have that same relatively low int. game. Then again, I hate expert...I don't even play it any more now that I'm in the record book. Has anyone else here run an 18:04 or better 5k before? Just wondering, trying to see if I have anything else in common with anyone. |

Comments: | It seems like everyone with similar beginner and inter. scores as me has expert times in the 60's or 70's. Maybe I just play those two levels a lot more, or maybe everyone had this sort of lopsidedness when they first started playing. I had taken about a two week break from the game because I had too much homework and out-of-state swim meets, and started playing again yesterday. The board looked completely foreign and I had lost all my pattern recognition speed. Then miraculously, after playing 20-30 beginner games and getting a couple 4's and 5's, I proceeded to intermediate and racked up a 24, two 25's and a 27. So you dont lose you speed after not playing for a couple weeks, which is good...... |

Comments: | Well, you did say this place can be used for chat, so I will :) ("ish").
Firstly, no-marking and Intermediate must be a good mix. I've played consecutive sub-20 second games a couple of times (indeed 19,18,17... I kid you not, 3 games, 3 records)... but I think the real speed earner on Intermediate is the board layout, a few big openings are key, IMHO. Just wondering... how much do people play? I've played maybe 5 minutes today. But 2 days ago, I probably clocked up 4 hours playing. Over a week I probably average about 2 hours a day if I'm really really bored. Maybe an hour if I can find something to do. I'm just curious.... maybe when signing this book, you could indicate? |

Comments: | AARRRRGH! I come so close to finishing expert under 100, just to be thwarted at the last second by a blasted 1-3-1 corner!!! Soon.... Expert has done wonders for my intermedaite times though. After playing expert for a half of an hour, I racked up two 25's and a handful of 26's. |

Comments: | Just wanted to say that I really enjoy this site and I hope to keep improving although sometimes I play too much. Also, a word to all disbelievers: if you don't think it is possible to get 1 sec on beginner, you obviously don't understand the game very well at all; if you don't think some of these low expert times are possible, just ask anybody who can't break 200 if they think they could ever break 100! Believe me, you can always go faster! In fact, given the ideal board, I don't see why you couldn't get a single-digit time even on the expert level. This is not very likely, but: I promise that if you disbelievers keep playing, you'll be getting the times you once thought were fakes! |

Comments: | Hello....got your email about this site. My scores are not good enough to post on your site but I can tell you now......if you really believe some of those times....you do not know shit! One second for beginner..........bullshit. and I very much doubt some of those intermediate and expert level scores too. |

Comments: | This is incredible. JUst a couple weeks after finding that Marko Vucolic's game was nearly indentical to one of my old games I find another one. One of my 27 sec. intermediate games is exaxctly the same as Pascal de Guelis's 22 sec. board. The only difference is that the mine in the upper left corner of his is next to the other one there on mine. That's pretty self-explanitory, but if you want the screenshot, I'll send it to you. |

Comments: | Took two seconds of my inter. time. That'll be the last time I take that much off... I was just wondering how long it took everybody who's under 20 in inter. to get there. I'm on track to get under 20 by january (by then I would have been playing for six months). Just e-mail me if you want to. |

Comments: | Seems that I´m writing all the time here now... well. I just wanted to know who do the scoreboard work. Do you update scores as the come, I mean that now that I got 3 second in the beginner level do I go to the bottom of the 3 second list? Do old records effect in it? Or the timeline? How often do you update the pages? |

Comments: | Yes!!! I finally broke one of my records... Its been so long that I thought that I have already found my limits... It is really because of this girl... she´s kind of challening me in this game and we send e-mail and stuff... well she came to the store I work in and said she got 4 in the beginner level. She had never got that close so I played the beginner for a while and got 3 SECONDS!!! I think she got mad when I sended the e-mail about it... lot of swear-words... :) well that´s minesweeper for you. I kind of like that girl... |

Comments: | Looking throuhg my file today, I found an intermediate screenshot with a time of 46 (that was my best time at the time). Upon further scrutinization, I found that, with the difference of one mine, it was the exact same as Marko Vucolic's 19-second board. What a let down. Had a 24 in that level today but missed on the last click. That's why I don't like expert. Too much guessing. |

Comments: | I think most of you think that this site is the best minesweeper site... The thing is even though it is the best site there are way too little people visiting here. So I challenge you to spread the news of this site. Send E-mails, talk about it to your friends and spread the good word so we can make this site the most visited site. Another thing is if it is possible to get this site linked with other pages as many as possible of course. I really appreciate this game, it´s like an addiction or more sicness of some kind, at least many of my friend say so... well, I hope you agree with my statements.

Comments: | Jeez, it seems like I'm right behind Washburn down there (time-wise)....Today I had an expert board with 12 squares uncleared with 72 seconds on the clock. I guessed wrong on one of those 3-1 corners. Someday I'll get below 100. |

Comments: | Hey, any minesweepers in the Rheinland-Pfalz area of Germany? I'd like to meet you. My nearest competitor here plays a 60-something intermediate game. I guess I'm a true addict...when I don't play for a few days, I get jumpy and irritable...seriously. |

Comments: | Err, actually, I got that score after midnight, so maybe it was Sept 1? I dunno.. I'm not up to date with the dates. That same board phenomena might be worth some kind of practical study? But, I guess too many games would have to be played. Good idea, highly impractical, oh well. New computer, new expert record, been on course for so many sub 60 games, it's not funny, but alas, no marking means many mistakes! |

Comments: | Wow, I look at some of those times and wonder if i'll ever be that good....then again, in my last two record scores in expert I have dropped 15 seconds! For about a month I couldn't beat 101. I started playing more and finally went under 100 with a 91, then the next day I got a 86! I'm playing much more often now, and my scores are starting to show it. I'd like to shake the hand of whoever invented this great game. |

Comments: | All righty then. I was very PO'd when I got that 101, even though it broke my old record by 21 seconds. 2 seconds off from being in the record book! Come on! Who wouldn't be mad? That was after I started this intermediate board and was rolling through it at 18 second-pace and screwed up on the last click! And then to top it all off, I check the other page's guest book and matt's chewing me out for something I said over a month ago. Well, matt; you can suck it, cuz I don't give a f**k. You can say all you want, but the bottom line is I am a faster sweeper than you. P.S., Have a nice day, everyone |

Comments: | Took another second off my intermediate time just a couple of minutes ago. I always experience a lull, or period of slow times after I hit a new record. I got two 28's in a row before I hit that 27. Read my post below the one below mine and respond to it please...I need help. |
