Declaring records achieved before the 3BV limits were put for invalid has never been part of the debate. Except maybe for 1 sec beginner games achieved on 1 3BV boards which I support strongly. @Dennis: Yes, it would be better if no-one ever achieved a record on a board below the 3BV-limit. As a matter of fact this is not the case and in my opinion it would be unjust to declare these old records for invalid. That's why these records count and that's also why many sweepers had been urging for a long time to set up 3BV limits. The reason for 3BV limits is that records should mostly depend on the player's skill rather than on the board (imagine a 70 3BV expert board). Having said that, I think that Manuel's 11 does not reflect his actual skill (but I like you nevertheless fellow-German). In my opinion this reason also justifies declaring 1 sec records achieved on 1 3BV boards for invalid. |

I agree with Dennis but what a nightmare to go through all the scores. And what to do about the people no longer active in the community? I mean what if a person has a valid int and exp score but his beg is a 1. Should he just be booted out of the list? That could possibly apply to a lot of people and you would end up with a world ranking that isn't accurate. I also think that the beg 3BV limit should be 3. That way I would still be ahead of Arjadre ![]() ![]() |

@Hopsing: I don't agree, but if that's your opinion then I think that all scores with 3bv lower than 30 shouldn't be accepted, even the ones made before this decision. It seems unfair that just because he got his 11 shortly before the decision his 11 is accepted, whereas if I got one today on a 29 3bv board it would NOT be accepted. I'd still consider it my record but I realise the community would not. I rest my case. ![]() |

Intermediate has never been and will never be fun no matter what the 3BV limits are. The IMC decisions does not necessarily represent the opinion of the community. Considering the 11 that Manuel Heider got lately on a 25 3bv board or something like that it is more than clear that we need higher limits. |

It's sad to see that the IMC has decided that the limit for int should be 30. I wish it had been 25 or something similar. That would be about the same as MS version and it would make int more fun to play. I'm really quite disappointed but I'll just have to get over it if this is concesus in the community! ![]() |

2,2 (2x3) ==> 1,16 |
Comments: |
Yahoooo..... a lucky 1,16 on a 2 3BV Arbiter board... the two clicks were openings, so that's why it was so fast (I was in shock when the record window popped up!)... 12,50 3BV/s technically, but that doesn't count... Down to 89 total and tied for 197th on bestever ![]() Sadly, I only had 20-82 this AR period, so it didn't make sense to submit times when my time with the penalty is 101... but my beginner record more than makes up for that... @Rasmus: aren't you about due for a record on intermediate? @Detrusor: congrats ![]() @IMC: could you make a website or a topic on Detrusor's forum where you can post your decisions for the community to see? ![]() |

Nice day today... Start off with betinner, got a 2 on a 3bv 3... easy enough to explain... Also got several 3s Intermediate: The high score was on a 42 3bv, which is 9 3bv higher than the other 24. The 2.20 was nice... I could have gotten higher; I was having estimates in the 2.3-2.5 range most of the day. Expert: Start off with my normal amount of stats ![]() 96.40; 122 3bv; 1.28 3bv/s 96.64; 145 3bv; 1.52 3bv/s 98.65; 156 3bv; 1.60 3bv/s 100.18; 164 3bv; 1.65 3bv/s 104.82; 175 3bv; 1.69 3bv/s 106.68; 140 3bv; 1.32 3bv/s 107.85; 123 3bv; 1.15 3bv/s (ouch) 111.93; 160 3bv; 1.44 3bv/s 114.21; 169 3bv; 1.49 3bv/s 117.56; 171 3bv; 1.47 3bv/s 118.71; 142 3bv; 1.46 3bv/s So, a good day timewise, but not so much on 3bv/s... I missed a 235 3bv board with a rate of something like 2.1 3bv/s though... bummer. |

When I got the world record of 4.20 3bv/s NF I never really expected to ever come close to that again but today I managed to tie it! This time the 3bv of the board was higher. It was 82 3bv, 6 openings, 94 clicks (NF) and the time was 20.52! Quite nice and certainly better than my first 4.20 where I got all 4 openings on my first 4 clicks! ![]() |

So it finally happened. Got a 37 3bv board and nailed it. But I still feel that intermediate is my most likely source of my next improvement. So Now I have a 71 sum. So I think next I will be going for a sub 70 sum. |

@Gergely: "By the way, Dmitriy seems to be only answering to clone functions (upgrading them, encoding his way and adding a little bit of his creations which I, personally really don't need)." I guess it is senseless to convince you if you have not seen anythink new on non-Clone programs. You do not care abut the stable and fast system, you do not care about timer, you do not care about recording custom games .. you even do not care about to look first at the program and THEN to discuss it. Let's say: ![]() ![]() yes, i added a very little of my creations. maybe because of it arbiter source code is only 2 times larger then clones while the uses language words lengths seems not to be very different. ![]() |

@Amy: 3bv stands for Bechtel's Board Benchmark Value... it is used to measure the "difficulty" of a board. It is computed by taking the number of holes and adding that to the number of cells that are not mines and are not a part of holes... hopefully that covers your question despite the lousy explanation ![]() |

On the same board... again! Twice in a row I have improved both records on one board. This time it was a 165 3bv board. It was a good day overall, as well.

Well, it´s been a while but I just decided to tell that, after a long break, I have now a chance to play with a somewhat decent mouse and my scores have started to be finally good non-flagging scores, I think. Though I don´t really know how fast the NF-records happen to be currently (any sub-50s?), to improve six seconds is quite an achievement, isn´t it? |

@Elmar: I don't think that it doesn't matter who invented or implemented a feature first. The way things are handled by both, Dmitriy and Rodrigo, tells a lot about their personality, and, as I figured out before, it does matter what kind of person the programmer of a clone which scores are accepted for bestever is. This person holds a lot of responsibility and should be able to live up to it. Happy sweeping .. |

@Rodrigo and Dmitriy: IMO, this whole discussion about copying features is pure crap. I don't care who has what idea. In the end a great part of the ideas were proposed by the community anyways. All I care about is to have a program that suits my needs. I think you should get your acts together, get over this stupid rivalry and work together (eg integrate functions to replay other video formats). ![]() |

Not at all, Dmitriy. By the time Clone was released, Curtis' version didn't record videos, didn't have any kind of history file, nothing. It's no way an enhanced version. So please do not copy things or ideas from the Clone in the next version of your program. |

The link will point to a page on my forum which has a table of all new records, sorted by date. You'll have there the form to fill when you want to announce your record. So to sum up and to be clearer: - when you do a record (time or 3bv/s), please fill the form here: http://www.planete-demineur.com/phpBB2/records.php - on the same page you have the list of recent records (current list is for testing, please don't post bull****!) - for your RSS readers, use this link: http://www.planete-demineur.com/records_rss.php I hope you'll understand, and I'm sure it'll please the RSS lovers! |

I decided that it was time to finally check out Arbiter. I downloaded it and started playing. I was playing really bad and after 7 games I still didn't have a sub-20. (In comparison I had 21 sub-20s out of 25 finished games yesterday.) My best time was 20.19, so when the High score sign popped up after my 8th finished Arbiter game I didn't think much of it really. But then I looked at the time and I couldn't believe it - 12.96 seconds on a 31 3bv board! It was such an easy board and on a good day perhaps I could have gotten an 11 but it's still really nice to get a 12 and this time I have a video to show for it! ![]() |

The IMC discussion about Arbiter acceptance had been finished yet some weeks ago but still nobody from IMC had posted the results.. ok I guess nobody had no doubts about it ![]() Yes, Arbiter IS ACCEPTED for any Minesweeper Community rankings and bestever lists. IMC poll end up with 5 pro votes (against 2). And I wish to thank everybody who support this project ![]() By the way, the new 0.43 Arbiter version with a load of new features is going to be released soon. You may (must!) see the development status, which contains list of new (and upgraded old) features and their completion status on the link below, as well as suggest your new ideas. Happy sweeping! ![]() |

@Daniel Brim: wow... we have the same best 3bv/s for beginner (mine was 5,34 on a 16)... congrats @Chill & Ralph- congrats... @Elmar: so... what happens if you actually get a new record on arbiter?... will it be accepted on bestever? about UPK: Elmar won the last contest... he was one of 2 (I think) people to actually finish the expert board... congrats! Sorry for my laziness... UPK7 will probably consist solely of an intermediate board... Dmitriy is running a poll at his site about UPK board difficulty, size, etc... please vote! the next deadline will be Friday the 18th of November at 20:00 GMT/ 3:00 EST (daylight savings time is over)... |

@WP: I've tasted the speed of the new clone and now I can't go back to the old version. Arbiter is at least as fast as the new clone. If you want to watch my vids just download Arbiter. It's no big deal, 400kb and you dont even have to install it. |

First of all congrats to Dennis, since I've been here on this guestbook I've noticed a tremendous improvement of your sweeping and your high scores. Keep it up. As for myself, it was a 151 3bv game, but I finished it off in a lousy way, since it was estimated under 60 for quite a long time. Anyway, I'm glad I'm off my syndrome as well. |

I'm afraid your file can't be fixed Dennis. When I look at the video files of the games where I got the runtime error 55 the size of those is too small. That's why I'm playing on arbiter. I don't wanna end up like you with a record without video. |

@Arjádre: Yes, it's the 'File already open' runtime error. I told Rodrigo about it shortly after the realease of the new version and I think he was planning to come out with a modified version simply with that bug fixed. I don't remember but if the deletion of all the clone files were after we talked about this then maybe he won't release a new version anytime soon and maybe he won't be able to fix my 12 either for quite a while. I'm quite curious to see it myself, of course. About the bug... Rodrigo told me that it happens when you click and drag the mouse button out of the sweeping window on your last click or something like that but I'm not sure I understand because then your click wouldn't even be registered as a click, would it? Anyway, I get this error about once or twice every day so I've gotten used to it. I was just hoping it wouldn't happen when I finally beat my record! ![]() Thanks for the congrats, everyone. I'll send you the file if I get a fixed version of it myself! ![]() |

Interesting day… The beginner was on a 15 3bv board in 5.06 seconds Total is now 3.69+2.16+1.77=7.62 Also, expert stats for the day (my best time average day ever) 106 (157 3bv = 1.48 3bv/s) - 3rd time 108 (169 3bv = 1.58 3bv/s) - 5th time, 7th 3bv/s 110 (156 3bv = 1.42 3bv/s) - 8th time 110 (149 3bv = 1.36 3bv/s) - 9th time 110 (183 3bv = 1.66 3bv/s) - 10th time, 5th 3bv/s 118 (155 3bv = 1.32 3bv/s) 121 (162 3bv = 1.35 3bv/s) 128 (219 3bv = 1.71 3bv/s) - 3rd 3bv/s Average stats: 114.46 (168.75 3bv = 1.49 3bv/s) - 1st daily average time, 3rd 3bv/s (although one day that was better had a total of 2 games) Also approaching 100 games completed when you account clone version 0.96 and the arbiter, but counting games on winmine, I think I may have gone over 100 today. |

I am finally cured of my syndrome. Got a 13 the day before yesterday and another one yesterday. Then finally today I managed to finish a nice board at a really nice pace. It was a 37 3bv board (5 openings), giving me 3.23 3bv/s, so that's nice. I was very inefficient, as I used 50 clicks, but that doesn't matter much, I guess. I got the run-time error I get now and then (which Rodrigo told me he would fix), so I only have the screen shot at the moment. However, I think Rodrigo might be able to fix the 'corrupted' video file, so if anyone wants to see the vid just let me know and I'll send it to you if Rodrigo manages to fix it! It was weird to look up at the counter window and see that it was my 1st time. I knew it was at least a 12 but couldn't tell for sure because the counter window is placed in front of the timer and I couldn't move it because of the run-time error. Luckily my history file saved the game and a video was auto-saved as well! ![]() ![]() @Stephen: Great to hear from you, man! I'll miss your competition! I finally beat your times and then you retire for good... Well, good luck with the other things you take on in life! ![]() |

well it's sure been a while since last i posted here. how is everyone? I see theres been a few new records (congrats Dion, Dennis et al). I believe my Minesweeper days are over. the game has little meaning for me any longer - I retired once knowing at the time full well that I still was to improve and continue playing. now I realize that I will not be doing so any longer. I am no longer addicted to it (which is of course part of the reason i 'retired' before). Now if I play a lot in a month I might play a game or two on Intermediate. Kudos to Lasse, Dion, Damien, Oli, Roman - you are the top players and even though Dion clearly has marked a new generation of speedy sweepers, Lasse is of course the one I will remember as being the ultimate sweeper. as well as taking well the disbelief and accusations of "Benson". I will likely not be posting at all anymore. Good luck to those wo still wish to improve their times. I am more than satisfied with my times - although I would have liked sub-50. a very elite class (not as elite as sub-40 mind you). Rodrigo - your program has become quite something. comes with a windows installer now, even! very impressive - keep up the good work. Good bye, all. Sorry for the spam posts - they are fun you all should try it at least once. good bye all. good luck. |

Chill chill, it's just a matter of time. It's worse if you don't improve anymore and then get the board of your life, a sub100 3bv board maybe, you are so fast and the board is so easy that you would have broken your record by let's say 7 seconds if it had not been for that **** 50/50 in the end. Just keep it going. |

Lots to talk about... Today was a good day, finally breaking my month old beginner 3bv/s record, putting me at a sum of over 7 for the first time. In addition, I got 3 more intermediate games with 3bv/s values greater than 2. On intermediate I got 2 sub 30s after the 24, including a new NF record and my 2nd time overall. On expert, I finished my first games since the sub-100, 7 games to be exact... nothing particularly close except a few good estimates. 108 (166 3bv) 117 x 2 (154 and 196 3bv) 118 (179 3bv) 120 (196 3bv) 123 (214 3bv) - second best 3bv/s with 1.75 127 (186 3bv) Not a bad day, with one of my best days with >4 games in terms of averages, but nothing within 10 seconds of my record @Dane: Congrats! I just got mine 2 days ago... feels good. It's weird that we both dropped the same amount of time and both set very similar 3bv/s records and we had the same munber of 3bv on the board! |

Has anyone here ever tried day-trading (stock-trading)??? I've started recently and I'm realizing that minesweeper utilizes many of the same skills that trading does like: -Pattern Recognition -Split second (but carefully planned) decision making -Having control over your emotions -Determination to succeed -Good overall math abilities -Ability to be content spend hours and hours alone. I can't say I'm ahead as of now, But I'm learning fast and skills harnessed by playing minesweeper helping out. ![]() |
