Comments: Today has been my best minesweeper day ever. I already broke my intermediate record by 3 seconds this morning, and now I just broke my expert record by 5 seconds, a 53 on a 118 3BV board. Have to get back to playing while I am still fast.

Comments: man... just got a new mouse, mx500 logitech... it is making me consider rejoining the minesweeping world. I've got a lot of ground to make up, some 20+ people have passed me in the world records list. ah what a time it was when i was only 4 secs off being in the top 20 active players in the world I've got to give my congrats to Lasse, i think he'll be getting that sub-40 within the next year if he keeps playing. And i'm actually somewhat surprised that with all the people who have low teens intermediate scores, no one has broken matt's 10 yet. good luck to all, and hopefully i'll be able to catch up to you guys at the top of the lists soon. gonna take a lot of playing!

Comments: I can't believe it, but I just bested my intermediate record by 3 seconds, from 17 to 14. It wasn't even an especially good board, 3BV 40. The problem is camtasia slows down my computer, so I can't record my games. I need to figure out a solution to this problem because I'm sure people won't take my scores on faith. I do have the screenshot, if anyone wants to see.

Comments: I'm very happy as I got a 14 on a 37 3BV board. The special thing is not that I tied my second best time ever, but that I got this on my dad's computer with an awful dirty mouse. Luckily, I have at least a Sorin-recorder-capture.

Comments: my point about my scores was that over a year ago a best of 2-12-65 would place me 9th in the world where as nowadays with the tough competition a best of 2-12-52 places me 13th.... Food for thought. the community has progressed.

Comments: Andrew, As you can see from the above, I completely understand. That expert time just won't budge. Maybe we've simply been unlucky enough not to get anything near a dreamboard. I find it useful to start at beginner and work through intermediate up to expert. I find that each level gets a faster reaction speed for the next one. Mind you... I'm not sure you should be taking advice from me. Best of luck.

Over the sea’s and far away, My quest continues night and day, To find a place to call home, Until that day I will roam, Accompanied by faithful friend, United all ailments we can mend, Across the nations far and wide, Bedded women yet no wives. Vagabonds at night they say, New age travellers by light of day, Work thrice as hard, For half the pay, Our welcome we’ll not overstay!

Comments: Andrew, I have the same problem. I almost exclusively play at work, clearing an int board here and there. My record on expert is not very impressive compared to my best int score (my current records are 2-14-62). I believe I could get a sub-60 score on expert if I only had the time to play that board more often. Mikael

Comments: Yoni, As far as I know, the most mines solved on a 30x24 board is my record of 202, which I have done twice. My friend says he has done 205, but I think he's only done 201, because I worked on 202 because I wanted to do one better than him! Someone is working on 210 though, so I'm a little worried! Lance

Comments: I'm not Russian but my wife is and I lived in Russia for a while and actually started playing minesweeper there a little over a year ago when I was stuck for a while with minesweeper being the only game that would run on the crappy laptop I had at the time. I was also curious because I know a couple of Russians with some pretty good sweeping times (down to low 50's) and was going to tell them to check out the discussions here. I speak Russian not to badly for a foreigner, but not fluently. - George

Comments: I think it's really unfair that my University won't allow me to play minesweeper. Apparently all the computers here are for study and research purposes only... like minesweeper isn't intricately connected to maths. Is Damien still updating the record pages or are we going to wait for this new version of minesweeper? For the uniniciated, what technically constitutes a dreamboard? Happy sweeping to all!

Comments: Congrats Roelof, Grzegorz, George, anyone else who broke his record. I haven't posted here for a while- but I still read the guestbook. I rarely play for time now (I sometimes play 30*24*210 trying only to finish the board). George Strain, Ya ne govorit' po-russki (I don't speak russian) but I know a few basic expressions. For example from your sentence: "Ya maladetz! Kto zdes govorit' po-russki?" I understood "Ya" "govorit'" and "po-russki"- I found "Kto" and "zdes" in the dictionary (computer one- not writen). And in order to translate "maladetz" I got help from a russian friend. By the way do you know a good russian-english (computer) dictionary (online or downloadable dictionary)? Are you russian?

Comments: Shit Dan, I'm damn sorry. This is my brothers pc in his room and I have very limited access. That's partly why I gave up Minesweeper for a long time. My bro won't let me in his room. I got my jaw knocked out of place in a sparring match and was due to meet the physiotherapist on Saturday. It was all a big muddle. In the end I didn't go to the physiotherapist and my jaw is still out of place.That's why I didn't meet you. Really sorry about your inconvenience. Next time, I'll go to your homeland if you wish. Owen. P.S I can't beleive I made such a jejune mistake about the e mail address. I fully agree with you. No more guestbook mailings. I'll be able to use the proper address! Somewhat comical in my opinion.

Comments: Tied my expert record (81) for the 4th time and just missed my first sub-20 on a 36 3BV. Nice to see that I am actually beter than some of you at something: my best 200 meter time is 23.4, 400 time is 51.57, my best 800 is 2:14, but that was when I was 16 so I am sure that I could do beter now (though sub-2minute would be a stretch.) As for longer distances, I am happy with 5 minute kilometers and I could not run a 20 minute 5Km.

It's called "Henry and Rose" it'll be fun trying to find out who we each are cince we don't know what the other person loooks like. Gotta go. Mail me your number. Nice 400 and 800 times in particular. I'd say I could beat your 5km time with some trouble and we can both beat that 5 mile time. Good Luck Owen

I still have to look at the best times at home and see a 3 . My expert times are still way off and I'm finding it really difficult to incorporate flagging into my game. On the upside, I did equal my 2nd fastest intermediate time of 22 seconds so hopefully I can go back to "relative" fast times. Owen... what day am I meeting you? I know it's @4pm... I'm just missing the day. Might be a good idea to swap mobile numbers while we're at it! Happy sweeping to all.

Comments: As of now, and of late, I have been indescribably busy and overloaded with school, college preparation, swimming, you name it...so Im sorry about the lack of updates on my site, but I do have things that take priority over minesweeper, so when I get everything straightened out that I need to, I can work on the site, but right now I cant promise quick updates.

Comments: i started recording my games with camtasia this week. the first game i finished was a 69 (3s off my record)! it is interesting to see how many mines i flag. in that game i only marked 44 mines. today i missed a 63/64. the timer was at 63 when i thought i was done, but i had missed a field. i couldn't find it though and messed up at 68. i will get my new record!!!

Comments: Nope, I'm not in Germany anymore...I lived there for five years, but now I'm going to college in my hometown of Wilmington NC. college life being what it is,i spend many of those boring hours between classes sweeping. now im better than ive ever been before but still cant get that friggin 17 or sub 70. on the positive note, i did basically pick up fluent german while i was over there and, since im already halfway there with german and english, im gonna start on dutch pretty soon. tulips, cheese and wooden shoes....riiiiiiiiiight. oh yeah owen, my best 5k is a 17:46 but ive never run a five mile for time. just chilling once i did it in around 32 minutes, but i wasnt going hard nor was i timing it exactly. i did a 400 once in 53.5[8)][8)]

Comments: Before I forget, Damien, could you update me on that 14s on INT...... and I've noticed while you've got the last 64-18-3 on the top 100, but on the individual record pages they're still on 19 and 77. So if you could, please list me up for the next update with the 14, . Probably we can work on that update system for you when I get back. And Matt, could you also update the 14 on your site.... Thanks guys, Benny Benjamin

Comments: Hi guys, It's been a while.... I got my new record on INT on 03/11/02, 14 s...... very happy... . I noticed the timer was on 11 when I just got a small patch on the top left to clear. The board is very similar to Matt's 11 on the addict's files. I've also added the screenshot in the files. Minesweeper014.bmp And I've also done a 68 on Expert the monday before that. My second best after what was my self-doubted 64. And that was done when I was on the phone..... So, Damien.... that's a further proof of your on-the-phone theory...... . So that'll make it my best ever total for the active ranking. Good since I think I'll have to take a penalty for the period after, the next 2 weeks from now I'll be having my exams. Hopefully after that, I'll be back again and do some further work on the reader, how's that Yoni.. . But don't send me any email yet, my exams finishes on 25th. Or if I'm up to the task, do some statistical analysis on 3BV, and probably try to come up with some better measures of board's friendliness. As usual for me though... no promises on anything... . So 'till then.... Happy Minesweeping to all........ Benny Benjamin

Comments: Who are you Andrew; I don't remember hearing from you before. I think you are phoney indeed with them times!! Just jossling - Nice to hear from you again Andrew. Great to hear you are beating your times. What is your style? Do you flag mostly or are you a non flagger dude? Send us a video if you have any... Your 800m time is impressive. My best is 2:19.9 That was my first ever 800m on a track and it was when I had long wild warrior like hair and I had only just joined an athletics club. I don't think your time would be in my sites though. What's your 5k and 5 mile bests? Inform me[8)] Owen

I've asked Adrian and he said he would in the future and I have 2 others at least who would like to get together and have some fun.. We could do it either in the Esplanade or simply out in the public on the grass patches at the seafront! Stephan, send me some of your best exp videos. I prefer watching them over int nowadays.

I'd been suspecting the old machine and crappy mouse I had wasn't helping me, and I had confirmation when the second expert board I finished on my new PC beat my old record by 11 seconds.
