Comments: MY WHOLE LIFE I WAS ONE OF THOSE KIDS WHO JUST SWEPT BY HITTING BUTTONS. ONE DAY I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY AND THANKS TO BRIAN CORNELL, NUMBER 14TH IN THE WORLD I AM LEARNING TO SWEEP LIKE THE BEST.. I GOT A 62. TO MOST OF YOU THAT IS NOT TOO GOOD, BUT FOR SOMEONE WHO USED TO GET LIKE 200 IT IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT. THANKS BRIAN!

Comments: For all flaggers : How important do u think is it to hold the right button-after flaggin´ a mine-to open squares? I must admit i rarely do so, just ´cause i never did it and never really thought this was a big effect. Will this push me to better times?

Comments: Anyone ever heard of this before? My timer for minesweeper just stopped. I saw in cheats that you can stop the timer, but I didn't do any of those things-also it says if you start the game over the timer goes back to normal, which mine doesn't. I have closed and opened minesweeper, and my timer is still stopped. As result all of my top scores are one second...also, the timer doesn't always just stop. Sometimes over the course of a game it will change to say-4 seconds. Really weird. This happened to me once before but I can't remember how I fixed it...I think I have the millenium edition if that helps...

Comments: Whatever time showed up in the minesweeper timer when you were finished is the time you should claim, proof or none. And that problem you're having... Sounds like it may have to do with your CPU getting overheated. I'd check to see if your processor fan is working correctly. I had the same problem once.

Comments: today i finally broke my expert record after almost 5 month and 5 times 66! but i have i problem. there is something wrong with the power supply of my computer. sometimes when i start a lot of programs or save a big file it turns itself off. i had camtasia running and wanted to save the file after i got the record. just then the computer turned itself off. so now i neither have a movie file nor a screenshot of my record game. the only proof i have is the file created by the movie recorder. but since i'm using winxp it doesn't work properly (i usually have it running anyways to see the 3bv and the number of clicks). in the matrix file it says: 99 mines 127 3BV 65021 sec 1 does that mean it took me 65.021 sec? the timer showed a 64. when i run the movie player it also tells me i finished at 65(although you can't really see much of the game since it doesn't work). what can i do people? can i claim that 64 or at least a 65?

Comments: I've fucked it up today!!! I had the chance to score a 27 on int but I didn't find the last open square! I had to look for at least 3 long seconds to find that son of a bitch (the result: a poor 30 sec). But no panic... lets play expert I thought. Yeah right... in my first game I fucked up a sure low 90 (72 sec and 15 mines to go). Damn, puke, damn!!! Anyway, I started to drink some beers and watched the new James Bond (pretty good!). Afterwards I played just one more game... It was like a rush, it was all coming back too me, I felt relaxed and it seemed alllll riiiight! On a pretty difficult board I smashed my old record. OK, not that impressive but it's an improvement. I guess I'm the only one writing frequently in this guestbook who hasn't broke the 100 barrier. I hope that you, superb players, can appreciate the writings of a beginner. You know, it's just a way to motivate myself and keep on playing. 't beste den Floeren

Comments: No problem, berg. Just remember to mark all the mines around a numbered square, then hold down the left & right mouse buttons at the same time, on that numbered square to click. Yep, it will definitely improve your times.

Though there was openings I could have done first I chose to guess a place where I didn't need to guess Well, maybe I get another chance soon... - Lanyjé

Comments: whew... i think i'm addicted again. playing an hour or more again some days. i'll actually have scores to send in to the active rankings again too! got just my 5th sub-20 ever today. i'm playing better than before too, a lot more consistent with my times. i give many thanks to benny and stephan and whoever else helped with the 3bv reader, it makes it a lot easier to tell how fast i'm going, and how efficient i'm being. now that i got that 1, my new goal has been lowering my intermediate score. i've been playing it a lot, and what i've really been hoping for is the board everyone seems to get their records on. Anyone have any idea how often this board cycles through? assuming i play as much as you guys do, how many days/weeks/months do you usually go before you get through the whole cycle and the dreamboard appears?

Comments: I got a shift of the same board some while ago. If you click the mine that is surrounded by 1's (and it get shifted to (2,1)) I think the board is a 21 3BV. I think it can be solved in 19 clicks. Is that the (7,14)-mine?

Comments: That board is 24 3BV if it looks as I understand. I also noticed that if you first click the 7-14 square (and the mine will move to 2-1 or any other place that don't add to the 3BV)- you will get a 23 3BV board. (So if both 5,5 and 7-14 mines moves you'll get a 17 3BV board but thats probably impossible)

Comments: i did a little testing... the best 1 mine shift of the dreamboard that i can create like manu did on his board is a 25-3bv. It might not be too unlikely that manu stumbled onto the best possible intermediate board? My 28 board was a naturally occurring one like the dreamboard, and the best shift of it i found was also 25 3bv.

Comments: Matt, Minesweeper reader indicated "24 BV" and I counted the same thing manually. Just one mine different from Paul's 16, because of the first click that brought the mine ( column 5 ; line 5 ) to ( column 2 ; line 1 ). Big difference in terms of BV...

Comments: Hmmm...it seems that the board is not a 24 3BV. How did you get that Manu? I counted 27 and Ive seen that board before (my first sub-20) and it is fast, but certainly not 24 3BV. For those who want to see it, go to Paul's profile on my site and look at his 16. The board Manu sent me has one mine difference, from what I saw.

Comments: I'm going to send the screenshot to Matt so that he can put it on his site. Everybody will be able to "admire" the board then !! I think the faster before that one was a 25 BV. I'm wondering how it is possible that nobody never noticed that board before if boards are really generated in cycles. Unless it is a shift of a very good board. If I did my 1st click on a "strategic mine" of a ( let's say ) 28 BV board, it could have been changed into a 24 BV one, what do you think guys ?

Glad to get that monkey off my back. Now i'm gunning for a lower intermediate score... i've had some narrow misses in the low mid-teens but i always misclick near the end.

But I am very ambitious and when I start a sweeping session, I don't usually give up until I beat my record on one board at least. You should do the same. I'm trying to score under 25 on intermediate, because from there, sub-20 isn't very far...

Comments: A brief question for all you folks with better insight than me on the expert board. I usually get better times when I start on one side (not on the edge but on the left 1/3rd of the board) and work my way over. However, I saw something on another site which said that it was best to work from the center outward. I was just wondering what any of you thought about this. Thanks all. Keith

I also have some pics of some other strange looking boards (in my opinion), including a beginner board with a 3BV of 37, a beginner board with a 3BV of 38, a beginner board with 6 distinct open patches, and a beginner board with a 7 in it (although I didn't finish it I'm afraid; it would have been a 3sec time too, but I lost on a 33/67 opportunity).

Comments: Great stuff Traian. I thought we could battle down our scores together, but now your a full 15 sec faster than I am. I have one excuse: I can't practice that much because I'm very busy with my schoolwork. But.... One day I'll catch you up! Keep up the good work. Thanks Marc for giving me some advice!

Comments: I pretty much only play intermediate on the Wednesday or Thursday before the active ranking deadline for the sole purpose of getting a 15 or better. Usually when I play a solid session I get 30-40 sub20s. It took me so long to get to 1000 because I don't play much.

Comments: Good job Dan. I have 347 sub-20s until now. And btw, being Sa 23/11/02 today, I have a streak of exactly 31 days with at least 1 sub-20 each day. It seems possible that I can keep up that streak during the rest of November.

Comments: Thanks for the camtasia tip, Damien. Now I am able to play with camtasia running. However I am having a new problem. My videos don't play back properly. The minesweeper board in the video is split in half, with the left side of the board on the right and the the right half of the board on the left. Any suggestions?

Comments: @Ryan: I've had a little trouble with Camtasia myself. I figured out that the pointer moves smooth enough when it plays at 14 frames a second (the frame counter make jumps of 7). If it doesn't, I stop the recording, and start it over again. I don't know if there's a trick to make it play at 14 frames a second every time. It seems like it plays at slower rates the bigger area you record.

Comments: Thanks Dan, Thanks Roelof. Recently ,many new guys on this page, couldn't believe that 1 second on beginner is possible. I got some news for them. Today, my friend Karol Daniłowski (also from Poland,He's studying with me) made 1 too. He's not very good player, his best scores are 125,38 and now 1 on beginner. It's just lucky game, that's it. So keep playin.

Comments: I think ms-addicts go through different phases all the time. Some days you´re just good at it and you enjoy your playing. Some days you better should have wasted your time with other things. There are,of course, more and more complex phases than only these both - im not a psychodoc - - but everyone should know by himself what to do with time and life.

Comments: From the day when I got my 58, it's like I didn't liked the game anymore... like I was happy with my times. I don't feel like playing anymore. I've gotten nothing under 18 and 67 this period. The good thing is that I have more time to play the piano and to improve quicker ! I think that one day I'll be back at my best level but now I just don't want to force myself to play !

That was my goal for Oct 1, but school has really taken all my time. Good luck to all, and to the newcomers: keep playing, cause your at the fun level where breaking a record is inevitable, it won't always be like that, so enjoy!

Comments: Hey, got one step closer to a sub-minute score. My 17th sub 70(I think) was a 61. The 3bv's was 122 i think, which is one of the best i have gotten. I started videoing some of my games, bacause i want to catch the sub 60 game, but my pointer really slows down when camtasia is running. I haven't gotten anything lower than like 80 videotaping. It is really fustrating. Does this happen to anyone else? Oh, i also found out that my 2 on beginner was on the 9x9 grid, after looking over my screenshots, because i did it on my parents computer, so i am stuck with 3. Thats ok, because i really don't play beginner that much. Good luck to all, Ryan

Comments: Jim- you just suffered the same wave of disbelief felt by every single one of us at one point. i don't know of anyone on the record lists who, before finding this or another minesweeper website, did not think themselfves the best in the world. my records were 5-40-124 when i began to search the web back in summer 2000. fully expecting to be the unparallelled master of worldwide minesweepers, i was shocked by the world records of 1-15-53. well i kept with it, more out of addiction than anything else, and my times just kept dropping.yours will do the same, have faith... oh yeah one more thing, eventually you will hit the phase where breaking your record is no longer a daily occurence...dont be discouraegd -andrew
