What do you need help with? If you haven't even completed an expert game you should probably try and learn the patterns of the game. Check this site out: http://www.planet-minesweeper.com. There is a detailed description of the most common patterns. Once you've learned those you can gradually increase your speed. There are so many things you can do to gain speed that I don't wanna write it here... Instead look at the tips section of this site.

3BV stands for BBBV, or Bechtel's Benchmark Board's Value. It's the name of the player (Stephan Bechtel) who first invented that value

Tnx, Rasmus! You have been very helpful. I haven't found that definition of 3bv anywhere else on this board. Still scratching my about how it got that name. I don't seem to have a version, yet, that tells what the 3bv is.

I've messed a bit with Narkomania, but I'm concentrating on learning the l&r click, rather than speed.

Damien, the upsurge in activity, here, is the veterans having a feeding frenzy on the newcomer.

I'm very special Ralph =)

Exp has bugged me lately... Having trouble going sub 80 The week after I got my first 72 I problably scored more games in the seventies than in the eighties - even got a 74 on a 178... But these last few weeks I sometimes haven't even been able to go sub 80 on very easy boards. So today I decided to do something about it and tweaked my mouse to go a bit faster. And what do you know the seventies are back =) Feel a record coming on...

Congratulations on your 3BV/s. Still got you beat on all of them tho' Mmm but that int is somewhat sweeter than my 3,13 on a 93

@Rasmus - and in fact you defied the rules yourself with your last int record (3bv 51)

Although I agree with you as a rough guide - of course as you say the 3bv isnt the only way to measure the complexity of a board.

Meanwhile, I appear to be having trouble with a couple of barriers....

The clone doesn't work on my computer on Wednesday and Thursday (each week) for some reason, so I played regular minesweeper with Sorin's counter and got a 2 on a 2-3BV board. So which record is better?

3BV is defined as the total number of left-clicks needed to complete a board. In the community we use it as scale to measure how hard a board is. Higher 3BVs means a harder board (not the difficulty of solving the board but more in terms of the time needed to complete it).

My average 3BV and min and max I have experienced for the 3 levels:

Beg: Around 16. Min: 3, max: 39.

Int: Around 65. Min: 32, max: 113

Exp: Around 170. Min: 119, max: 227

NOTE! This is for completed games.

In general I would say you need a sub 50 to beat your record on int and a sub 160 to do it on exp. Just MHO - I'm sure there are many other views on this.

Hope that clarified it a bit, Phil

I sincerely apologize to Christoph for the Freudian slip; I assure you the "cheetah" pun was unintentional. I briefly considered a tortoise & hare comparison, but I didn't want to imply that you lack perseverance. Now I wish I could edit that post and call you a thoroughbred or a greyhound.

And you're right that I barged in here like a know-it-all without bothering to research the history of the board. I do know better; guess I forgot my netiquette. Nevertheless, I think the tournament idea is workable if enough people want it to happen.
Christoph: "Knowing that a boord doesn't contain guess situations is kind of UPK, you can be sure it would change the game."
Certainly that bit of UPK would result in slightly faster times, but in the tournament situation I have suggested, everyone would have the same advantage---knowing there are no guess situations. Also, no one could possibly practice every game on the list---presumably in the thousands---in advance of the tournament; and no one could play the same game twice before time expires for posting results on the host computer. If you want more safeguards, you could link many local or regional tournaments---where people are actually gathered in one room. But I don't know how popular such gatherings are; what is the largest minesweepsteaks yet convened?

Ralph & Rasmus, is there a minesweeper glossary on this board? What's a 3bv?

Yesterday, I tried a free on-line minesweeper [http://www.mine-sweeper.com/]---my first non-Win98 version; I played their "intermediate" game only once and did it in 15 sec. That's more than twice as fast as my best ever int game using the Win98 version.

Thanks... my averages are pretty similar to be honest, around 80 - 90 for exp and 30 for int, although once I've warmed up I can generally sub-30 90% of the time. Even so, it wouldnt suprise me to see you overtake my int time, i've kind of stalled on int at the moment, trying to concentrate on exp a little! My girlfriend has got an exam coming up so I'm getting a little more time to practice
Keep up the good sweeping!!

Grats Ralph Quite nice how we follow eachother... Kinda cozy

Regarding my 21 it was really the best game I have ever played. Only one mistake, the rest of it just flew by. And the board might have been a 51 but it was perfect how the difficult part was right in the beginning. I tend to go slower as the board progresses. Anyways I hit a mine by mistake right at the end of an estimated 18 yesterday - 3BV 31... Too bad Would have given me some breathing room...

What's your avg times day to day? I usually keep it around 30 on int and 80-85 on exp...

I'm amazed at what a high 3bv your new intermediate record is... I can score 21s, 22s and 23s fairly regularly, but never on a board with a 3bv as high as your 21!!

@PhilJ: I guess you got that in an other way than I ment it. It's nothing against you. But if you come here and make suggestions without looking much for what already exists, someone has to tell you if they're new or not.
You have pretty good scores for someone who have just discoverd the right-left click. Perhaps you would like to participiate in the Active-Ranking (look at the links).
btw never again call me a "chetah".
And you could disconneced befor practicing - it's not that I want to practice a bord but that pracitcing in general is a problem (we call this problem UPK=unfair prior knowledge).
Knowing that a boord doesn't contain guess situations is kind of UPK, you can be sure it would change the game.

I forgot to mention, I've only played the Win98 version. I didn't know about two-buttons down on a filled number; I have to get used to that.
Arjádre, What's the magic phrase for "mines be swept"? And do you swish the wand or flick it?
Christoph says: "I'd have no problem to play the board on one of them. Then I can practice it and play it with the other computer (and the other IP-adress)."
I respond: The on-line tournament's time limit should prevent that. How many times can you play the same game before your ISP is able to transmit a list of your moves? Any decent ISP can transmit that faster than a mouse click. A few players with super slow ISP's, like mine, would not be able to compete; but most could.
Christoph says: "The 'no guess'-boards are on the one hand difficult to constract...."
I respond: As an algorythm, yes. However, players from around the world, could email lists of the game numbers of no-guess games they have played. The tournament could pick randomly from a huge list of no-guess games. Christoph says: "That would completely change the game."
I respond: Not enough to make a snail like me compete with a chetah, like you! Players who practice a lot with no-guess-only games would only have a slight edge over those who don't. It's not enough to upset the world rankings.
Christoph says: "Rodrigos Minesweeper clone captures the movies as a mouse event list, Sorins counter does as well. I wrote some minesweeper clones using C++, visual C and pascal (programming at school) I also implemented event lists (not in all of my programs but I did). And I guess also Arbiter uses them."
I respond: Can you play back the event list and see a replay of the game?
Christoph says: "From where are you?"
I respond: I'm a dirty ol' man in western Washington state, USA. Vienna is a bit beyond my vacation budget.

@PhilJ: Rodrigos Minesweeper clone captures the movies as a mouse event list, Sorins counter does as well. I wrote some minesweeper clones using C++, visual C and pascal (programming at school) I also implemented event lists (not in all of my programs but I did). And I guess also Arbiter uses them.
More than one year ago the idea of online tournaments was mentioned. We intended to use the multiplayer feature of Rodrigos clone. But anyhow there wasn't enought interest.
The idea with the same boards is nice but it doesn't really work. i.e. I've three computers here on my desk. I'd have no problem to play the board on one of them. Then I can practice it and play it with the other computer (and the other IP-adress). As far as I know that was also the reason why Rodrigo never activated the "same boards" for multiplayer games (one could play against oneself). That's asking for cheating.
The "no guess"-boards are on the one hand difficult to constract whereas it's NP-complete to dicide whether the probability for a square to contain a bomb is zero or not. On the other hand they give additional information. In some cases you can easyly see that a bomb on a certain square would produce a guess-situation. Then you would know that there is no bomb without having figured it out from the numbers. That would completely change the game.

From where are you? You'd like to meet some sweepers? (I'm organizing a meeting in one and a half week in vienna click my page to read more about it)

My first visit to this (or any minesweeper) site. I'm humbled by what I find here. I look foreward to trying some updated versions of the game. I especially would like a version with some sound FX .

Suggestions:

1. Some programmer (that leaves me out) should write a program that records the game number, the time in milliseconds, the mouse position and button actions. For maximum data compression, record only the time, row and column for each button-up action. To better record player technique, record cursor's pixel-by-pixel postion (compressed to a spline) and the time for both down and up button actions.
To replay the game, load the game number and substitute the recorded actions for the mouse input, feeding them back into the game. Compared to a screen shot of each move, this should reduce the number of bytes recorder by a factor of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands.
Cheats would have to decipher the code, which would eliminate all but the programmer types.

2. Online tournament:
a. A tournament committee could weed out games that inevitably lead to coin-flip endings. On game day, games would be chosen at random from a long list of acceptable games.
b. Host site sends a game number to all registered players, so all participants are playing the same game at the same time.
c. Players' computers record their actions (as described in suggestion #1) and immediately send results back to host.
d. Host allows reasonable time for slow ISP's before posting best scores and making game recordings available to all.
e. Participants could be ranked by fastest game, fastest 5-game total, best percentage of completed games (i.e., live finishes), best opening strategy, luckiest player. You can think of other categories.
f. Maybe you could get a sponsor (Microsoft) to award prizes.

(btw, a tip: to maximise winnings, don't play your best at first if you are really good at a game....that way you can win more games as it will take longer for your ranking to go up...see my article)

Today I played the final of my very last Perry Rhodan trading card game world championship (I terminated my career some time ago but lost a bet which caused me to participiate again). I ended up as vice world champion which was great because I defeated the the 3rd placed in the very last second, and which was sad because I defeated the new world champion very clearly in a qualification round yesterday and he was very lucky to reach the final afterwards (I really should have won that -> arrrgggghhhh)

@Grégoire: Sad to hear, you'll not going to come to vienna What about others from France?
Some players are very vague with their registration, but who comes to the meeting can be pretty sure to meet Stephan Bechtel, Oli, Hopsing, Gergely, Jon Simonsen, Stevan Gvozdenovic, me, two sub90 players from vienna, a player from graz (I don't know his best times) and some unknown local guys. But very probably there'll be some players more (some told me that they would like to come but don't know yet).

A whopping 240 3bv board, 83.28 time. This just half a day after I got a 67 on a 166 3bv board, with only 3.17 clicks/sec. If I can keep clicking that efficient, and this fast, I should be able to make my way into the top 100 on the best ever sometime soon.

@tourny:

1st: if you haven't seen yet: due to plenty requests the first-to sessions of the tourny were replaced by some warm-up time.

2nd: I'm about to organize that every participiant will get a Minesweeper-Meeting-T-shirt. I try to keep the costs low. But I don't know by now if I can keep them low enought so that I can give them away for free. So everyone who will participiate please tell me if you'd like to get a T-shirt (in case yes your size) and if you would buy it (max EUR 5,-).

anyway I'll be glad to wellcome you in vienna.

Clone says that new Vincent's 50s NF is corrupted. But as I inderstand that's because of some problems with regional settings or something like this (I have the same problem with Xiaohu Zhang's vids). How to fix this problem?

Education is "free" in Ireland. You just have to pay for accommodation, books, and an ever-increasing regisration fee of about €800+ per year. The government will pay the university fees for your 1st undergraduate degree (provided you pass each year). After that, it's up to you to pay for post-graduate degrees.

It's a good system for getting a highly educated work-force...

university is not free in canada .... although the very top few students win scholarships to help.

i played int yesterday for a few hours (19x32, 18x24, 17x17, 16x11, 15x6, 14x2, 13x2) and lost an estimated 10.47 on my 4th last click...the vid is minesweeper/lost10.zip. really would have been nice to finish.

So you can go to college for free in Russia? Including the education? Jezus, here in Belgium that costs tons of money.

In Russia state education is free, best universities are managed by government. Dormitories and all such stuff are free. Almost all students and post-graduates have state grants.

Yes. It's very big building (240m height, > 1km perimeter). In the central part there are 3 departments (my department - mathematics and mechanics - is the absolute middle of university (middle stages of central part of university). All other parts of the building are dormitories for students, post-graduates and apartments for professors, I live in the right part.

Try the double expert: 24x30 with 198 mines. I just cracked after 5 months, with a time of 506. No-one has recorded a best time for this particular custom so far.

Got my 3rd 50 yesterday on a 136 3bv board (only 1 54 left in my top10 ) and got my 2nd best 3bv/s with a 3,41 on a 202 board. So it looks like I'm regaining my speed. I will be giving that 11 another try the next days.

I recently discovered Google Earth, and find it awesome!!
If you want to see where I live, type in the search field: 49°26'22.30" N, 1°05'53.49" E

If others would give their lat/lon of their house location, it would be great, especially those who live in a detailed area of Google Earth!
