So, a new expert record: 54 (of course only 1 sec better than the last one).
AR 3-19-54. Let's see if I can get that 17 to be "The Best Of The Rest"!

@all: Please don't follow the link of Hans. That site seems to be virus-infected if you click the wrong sub-site. By the way, he tries to tell us in a bad German that he can clear minesweeper boards in 1 second and that we are sooo bad Damien, if you have the possibility, delete that post.

Steve : As far as I know the density WR is 220 mines, by "Allegro" ( who is french !!! !! ). I also know that other french guys finished the game with 210 mines. You can meet them on Detrusor's site, which is now THE french minesweeper site : http://www.planete-demineur.com/french/forum.php
Détrusor : Vincent Yeh and Eduardo Cros both got a 50 sec NF, I think.
Lance, Stephan, and others : Sorry for not submitting scores anymore in the AR, but I nearly stopped playing, I lost part of my motivation... One day, I'll try to get a 49 on expert, and then stop. For now, my best in the last weeks is 2-16-63...

@Detrusor: the expert nf WR is 50, hold by Eduardo Cros and Vincent Yeh. Vincent has a 54 nf video on his website. The link can be found at my website, Section Minesweeper, then Links. My best nf videos are some 56s. My best int nf times are 11 (dreamboard) and 12 (2x, no DB), both as well available on video on my site. Moreover, check out the website of Martin Toft Madsen for some nice nf files.

@Lance: congratulations, even if I'm likely to finish behind you one more time (assuming that you get that 2)...

I was wondering what was the greatest number of mines cleared when the custom screen is at it's largest size (if that makes any sense).
I've cleared 175 mines. Does anyone else so this? Or do you all go for the quickest times?

@Stephan - today I got ANOTHER 56 expert, which goes well with ANOTHER 16 intermediate. Looks like I'll have the same score for the next AR period! I'm still working on that int score though, and I hope to possibly get a 2 yet on beginner. Nice job on your scores, Stephan!

@Martin - nice job to you, too! You are becoming constant competition in the AR! I think it's great!

@All - Happy sweeping!

@Traian: Maybe, but I don't think that a sample of 2 romanian sweepers is sufficient to claim a correlation between Romanian climate and 3BV sub100 exp boards
@Dennis: well done. Maybe you should start your own website so that you don't have to mail your weekly personal bests to a lot of persons. By the way, I would be interested in that 16.
@Martin/Kimmo/Grzegorz/Lance: any new expert records? Hopefully not, as I'll submit a nice 2-14-58 for AR. And I'd like to be "best of the rest" (behind Lasse/Dan/Sorin)

@Dennis: finally sub 80, huh? It seems you're getting closer to my 72. That means it's time for me to work out on intermediate. That 19 of mine is kinda weak...
Everyone, just sweep. Seek and NOT destroy.

Once again I've broken two of my records in one day and since it's impossible to break my beginner record I'm not even going to try! I was on the phone to a friend of mine and we were both playing Minesweeper but I didn't really do too well. I got a 95 and an 89 and then suddenly the sign popped up when I least expected it. I thought it was a really bad game but I guess it wasn't! I haven't actually counted the 3bv but the counter said 89... I knew that couldn't be right so I closed it and opened it again and then it said 158 so maybe that's right! In that case a 78 is even better! My sum is now 95! Good luck everyone and happy sweeping! I've got this video too by the way!

FINALLY I broke that 'stupid' record of 17! I have been close SOOOOOOOO many times lately so I kind of knew it was coming, yet I was really surprised when the sign popped up because I only figured it would be an 18 or something! But WOW! The counter ****ed up Sorin! Does that always happen when you break a record? It's obvious from the video that it changes to 16 right before clicking that last square because the mouse pointer is over that square when the timer is still at 15. It would have been nice with a 15 but maybe some other time, I guess! Oh, this 16 was made on a 37 3bv board after messing up an est. 16 on a 30 3bv board about half an hour ago! And YES, of course I've got the video in case anyone's interested! Happy sweeping everyone!

Comments:  

On expert i think that the "fastest" boards are generally those with 3bvs that aren't that low or that high - about 120-150, low 3bv boards can be difficult to win on, so you either lose or waste too much time, and I think its obvious why boards with really high 3bvs are slow (although they can be great for breaking clicks/s and 3bv/s records)

The lowest 3bv of an expert game I've finished was 108! I only scored a 92 on it but it was also a while back. Not too long ago I got a 107 3bv board which I screwed up after 16 seconds I think it was with an estimated time of 49! Now that would have been sweet! LOL I was playing NF so there's no way I would have finished it unless I'd been very lucky because I haven't finished an expert game NF style for several months!

I just played my best expert game ever! Unfortunately I didn't get to finish it! I blew it after 57 seconds with an estimated time of 66.12 seconds!!! It was a real beauty of a board and I definitely think I could have made a sub-70 at least! That would have been quite a step up the ladder but I guess it just wasn't meant to be! I am playing very well today because I also broke my 3bv per sec record. It used to be just above 2 on expert but now it's 2.32! I got a 93 on a 216 3bv board which is the board with the highest 3bv I've ever finished! Still I think it was a pretty nice game! I've got both of the mentioned videos in case anyone's interested! That estimated 66.12 game was definitely a beauty (including a 7 and a 6!)

Stephan, I got a 97 3BV board 3 months ago. I also posted here that I've gotten one. I messed it up after 19 seconds with an estimated time of 47 seconds as far as I remember

Traian, you can check and see if it's the same

Btw, what's the easiest board people have finished? Do they always have their records on these boards?
I know Dan has made his 44 on a 99 3BV, but what is the easiest board (read lowest 3BV) e.g. Lasse has finished. I think his 41 was done on a 120 3BV board or something like that

what ideas or strategies are people working on? i always concentrate on flagging as little as possible. right now i am trying to get better at choosing the best route to go once i have an opening; also getting from one spot to the next as fast as i can(like when you exhaust an opening and you need to get to another part of the board).

Hi! I'm here to report an astonishing board: 97 3BV. On EXPERT!!! I messed it up on the 2nd second though. But that's alright, I'm glad I lived to see a sub-100 3BV on expert. Unfortunately, I hit the smiley face before I realized the amazing number on the Recorder window. But I did save the txt file, and if anyone's interested, mail me.
Take care.

I finally lowered my Expert score below the 100 mark! I hadn't improved it in awhile, and in one game yesterday, I improved it by a whole 10 seconds. I didn't look up at the clock at all, like I sometimes do, so it was a nice surprise to see the box pop up.

I also got another 27 today, so I'm doing pretty well, for me at least.

That 58 still amazes me. I think the best time I've gotten since the 58 was a 74. I remember having perfect control of my mouse that time, but I don't recall what was going through my brain. It was like I had temporarily borrowed the mind of one of the world's fastest sweepers! I figured my amazing speed would wear off quickly, so while it was present, I attempted intermediate and scored my fastest time: 18.

I am not happy. I was certain that I was the best in the world at this stupid game. I never liked it until I saw somebody typing in their name for high score. I was hooked from then on. I obtain every record on every computer in my high school's computer lab. Today I found out that you can cheat. That is lame. I am going to have arthritis in my right hand because of this stupid game. I already broke 1 mouse because of it. Grrr!

I admit that I used to have trouble believing that someone could finish in less than 50 seconds That was, until I watched one of the videos, and then I realized when I was playing that I can clear that fast, but am nowhere near as efficient as the top players are. And when I do play efficient, it's by choice and consequently my times are not as fast, but are still relatively good because I am not wasting clicks like I do when I go fast. I'm still working at breaking either my intermediate or expert scores, and have had several real good paces going and then BAM! A misclick. Oh well, someday I will finally get it. Oh, and by the way, I like the spelling of your name Bryan.

Not an improvement, just my 4th sub 20 and my 2nd 17. Was on a 32 3bv board. So nothing special there either. But interesting about the 100th player having a sum of 88. With mine being, 83. Will have to try to get my name printed on there.

Not necessarily, Georgi! Besides, I was just trying to point out that they didn't happen to be lucky shifts of boards with 3bvs in the low 30s or something! AND since neither of them were shifts then somebody must have had this happen to them before!?

Something funny happened to me today! I beat my 3bv per sec record by .07 seconds... LOL So now I've finally got a 3bv per sec record higher than 3 (i.e. 3.06)! Actually that's not the funny part. I got a 29 3bv board but messed it up on my third random click and kept playing. Roughly 57 minutes later I got another 29 3bv board but this one was a totally different one! What's the chance of that happening? I mean, others must have the same thing happen to them if we assume that all boards are cycled!? I've got the video of the session and I can tell you that neither of the 29 3bv boards were board shifts! Unfortunately for me I didn't get to finish either of those games! Well, I'll just have to keep trying! Has anyone else had this happen as well???

I just missed a 17 on int on the very last click. I didn't have to guess but I paniced or something because I hit the mine to the right of the square I should have hit instead. It would have been my nicest 17 by far as it was on a 47 3bv board! WOW, that certainly shows potential for a score much lower than 17!!! I've got the video of this very nice game in case anyone's interested!

Sorin, thank you SO much! The counter works perfectly with for all three levels of Minesweeper - at least in the Danish version! I am so happy! I got a new 3bv per sec record on the 9x9 beginner board... 4 --> 4.34! It was a 10 3bv board done in 3.30 seconds! Not bad! I also did a 19 3bv board in 5.55 seconds but that's "only" 4.14! It's just so cool to finally be able to calculate the exact 3bv per second in stead of having to divide 10 by 3 or something like that which wouldn't give me a very nice 3bv per sec at all! Thanks!

It works now! But with a problem... it doesn't count the 3bv correctly... it finds 1, 2 3bv or similar on expert!

No luck getting a sub-20 today. I got an 18 yesterday but today I've only gotten two 20s. However one of them could have been my best sub-20 BY FAR! Unfortunately I spent a second looking for the last square. It was a 58 3bv which would have given me a 3bv per sec higher than 3, thereby beating my current record of 2.99 and it would have been even more cool for a sub-20! That was really close! I've got the video if anyone's interested!

Just made my second best time ever:
56.62 sec - 138 3BV - 2.48 3BV/sec

Second sub60 in about two days. My 55 and 57 came with less than a day in between, so it seems they come together

I will upload the *.txt recording to the addicts site now and also to my own homepage sometime...

@Alisha: I started playing minesweeper because I thought it was fun. I often played while I was burning a CD or copying some files. Now I just play to play

I can't see what's wrong with Alisha's best scores... My sister has scores like ?-30-81, and I know she doesn't even know how to cheat... She just never plays int or beg !

Georgi,
I see what you mean. I think that's because I don't do Intermediate and Beginner too often (I like the Expert better).

To the rest of you who read this,
I was wondering why people play minesweeper. I for myself play minesweeper simply because I like doing this better than that I like making essays on El Nińo and Apollo (you know, the Greek god of arts and health). So when I'm working on the computer I play a few games of minesweeper every now and than, just not to get too bored by El Nińo.
Well anyway, I was just wondering.

Just released version 2.0 of MineSweeper3D. It now has a built-in auto-solver, so you can watch the computer play by itself, or ask for a hint. (Your time won't count of course if you ask for a hint!).

Check it out:
http://www.software3d.com/Mines3D

It's not like some other 3D versions where it's blocks instead of tiles. This version still has 2D tiles, but on the surface of a 3D model.

Have a look at the web site for some screenshots.

Rob.

I don't know if its suspicous, but I certainly think you could improve your beginner and intermediate times with very little effort

And Paul Mattoon, look for Frank Wester's website in the links section here. Its much more fun working things out on your own though, and its impossible to win "virtually every game", unless your the luckiest man alive. It does get easier to win games as you get better though

Having 76 on expert makes suspecious 31 on intermediate and 7 on beginner ... and on contrary if 31I and 7B are real, that makes suspecious your 76E ...

georgi,

After seeing your homepage, I am totally confused.
Why say that my scores are more than suspicious when your scores are better than mine?

Whatever, it's probably just me misunderstanding certain things

What makes you think I would change my highscores?
By the way: If you think my scores are suspicious, just check the world records and the top 100.

Hi!
I would like to appologize to those responsible for not submitting my scores to active ranking in useful time. But that's ok, I'm glad I'm not out, and I promise next time I'll be in with new scores, hopefully new personal records.
Take care.

Hey, nice site you have here! I never realized you could get an astonishing score of 100 or below on expert..that's pretty fast. I really haven't been concentrating on speed much; my energies are mostly directed toward the strategies of the game that enable you to win it virtually every time. I think under the tip section you should put up some strategies for people other than speed. Like how to get out of a tough situation (when the only open spaces you have is a box.) If you want, I can compile a list of strategies and send them to you. You know, people can figure all of it out on their own, but this game can be frustrating at first for newbies.

Just made my by far best sub60:
59.98 sec - 152 3BV - 2.58 3BV/sec

The next best is 136 3BV (also 59 sec) so it's quite an improvement. 4 sub60's in total now

Happy sweeping

I imagine that its quite a long and tedious thing cheating on a video (especially when people use count rec as well as just having the normal timer showing, and theres a big difference between a "quickly" thrown together fake, a reasonable attempt and an almost flawless one), and considering the amount of videos some people have/have had on their websites I doubt if they would have bothered doing it so many times - in the time it would have taken they could have improved their times a lot

By the way, the record is now 41 not 43, this site is very out of date

I checked out the videos for best times and man you guys are fast. I didn't know the new record was below 50sec, let alone 43sec. Just one thing to add though is that just because there is a video of the time doesn't mean it is real. I not trying to discredit any times here or anything but you should make it clear that it is impossible to determine if any times are real. It is a possible to increase the speed of the video to make a time seem very fast and then just take a timer from a regular speed video and do a kind of copy & paste. Oh well, that's the trouble with the internet.

Got a very nice 2-click beginner board this morning. I could've had a 1, but took a split-second too long. Still, I'm happy.

I haven't been able to break the 100-mark yet. It's getting very frustrating, especially since I've had a few that would've been 80s or 90s, but I messed up or guessed wrong towards the end.
