I was just thinking... This site should have polls on it. Like: "When is an appropriate time to guess on an intermediate board." And the choices would be like: A) Only when I have double-checked everywhere and there are no safe places to click. B) When nothing jumps out at as a safe place I guess nearby on a spot which seems less likely to have a mine. C) Same as B above, except that I do that only at the beginning of the board. Only I get half-way through, I dont guess anymore. D) There's really no bad time to guess. I can do a board just that much faster if I just keep clicking. So what if I die 19 times out of 20 on sub-40 3bv boards, that 20th time I'll probably get my new high score. And there could be a new poll every month or so, but all polls would be archived so you could still vote/view the results. |

So I fianlly got the clone to work and now I'm going through another Minesweeper phase. But there's something wrong with me. I can't finish an expert board for the life of me. Sometimes I start a board and about half way through I'm on track to have a 60 something completion time, but no, I die! Every time! The two expert boards I have finished on the clone have both been above 100 which is practically disgraceful. Meanwhile, I can plug away at intermediate and get the 18s and 19s I'm used to getting. What am I doing wrong? (besides clicking on mines) ![]() |

if your corvette was parked under the window of my appartment on the fifth floor, I wouldn't hesitate a second to throw my computer on your car. It would be worth missing '18 hours a day behind my computer' |

Well, Bart I think that youre playing excellently. Here's a suggestion: instead of only pressing alt-prtscreen when you aren't sure about a move, why not press it after every click? that would probably be equally efficient, and would ensure that every click was thought out. Congratulations on your corvette. The only person that is more of a loser than those that play computers 18 hours a day is the person who gets a boost in his confidence by bragging to those people. does it make you feel good to brag to us 18-hour computer geeks about your success story? did your parents buy you that corvette? ... |

Hey first post here, finally after 4 months of being stuck on 15 I get a decently easy board 41 3bv and skip over the 14 second range with a nice 13.96. I still don't really believe it, it just felt like a normal game. Now it's time to break my pathetic expert time. |

@Bart: Actually I thought the same a long time ago because sometimes I minimized the game if I had to concentrate on something else at that very moment (e.g something exciting on TV), and then I would maximize the game window afterwards and finish the game. I never really used it the way you describe, but I have thought that it would be possible to do so. But I was pretty sure (and still am) that it won't help you much if you want to be really fast (maybe it would help to sub 100, but definately not sub 60). PS. Can I borrow your car sometime? ![]() |

Is this considered a cheat? Sometimes, if I get to a point where I am not immediately sure of my next move, I quickly hold alt, print screen, minimize my game, then paste it into paint. Once I have found my next move or two, I reopen minesweeper and resume play. This is only an advantage in expert and intermediate (and if you are world class, not even that), since it may take a second or two (or more if you fumble), which is not worth it in beginner. My best expert and best intermediate times were done using this technique. My beginner time is legitimate. |

Missed 49! |
Comments: |
I save all expert games with a 3bv less than 120 so that, if I feel like it, I can replay the board. I got a 117 board and like so many times before I screwed up on one of the first clicks. I switched to cheat mode, hit F3 and tried again, starting the same place but this time getting the 50/50 right. Well, I finished the board on my first try and it was a beautiful board. I looked up and saw that the time was 49.14! I guess it's kind of nice to know that I have the potential to get a sub-50 but it's also very sad to know that if I had only gotten that initial 50/50 right then I might have gotten a sub-50, or at least a score in the low 50s! Breaking my expert best by 10 seconds would have been really nice. I guess it just wasn't meant to be! ![]() |

Rasmus, what kind of times have you gotten with your 3bv/s records? Mine aren't even that high... In fact just this past weekend I set my int and exp 3bv/s records at 2.98 and 2.36. It was a 30 on an 87 and an 89 on a 209. I actually don't do well on really high boards, so my progression has been slow for 3bvs... not that I really care. I was, however, particularly proud of making 2 21's this weekend, both on 56 3bv boards (2.74 and 2.68 3bv/s.) |

First off, what the heck is up with the AR? I am 16th? Not only that, but I am 10th among those that actually submitted times? Something is surely amiss. It is kinda cool though, hehe. Well, as you can see, I think I am really infected with the syndrome now. Just got 19 #6. It was really a pretty poor game on an easy board, so at 19.98 I probably came off better than I truly deserved, but still... more than a couple of more times and I will have to lose my joy of getting a sub-20 and just get mad that I haven't gotten an 18 (or better.) |

Hi everyone! Now, on sunday, Jun 05th, Stevan did one thing that I found inadmissible. He posted me telling that he invaded my computer and browsed through files on my HD. He even told the name of a folder in my computer. Well, then I have to say to the community that he may have taken important information, even about the Minesweeping. Our community has the brilliant advantage of working in the honor method, in which we trust each other. Simply that. Stevan is a guy that is using his abilities do to things that are really bad and sad to our community. I hardly believe that a member can trust a guy who is doing hacker attacks to another member of the community. I hope that his attitude will have the strong disapproval of the community. We have to be warned to what kind of people are we dealing with from now on. Our community doesn't need this kind of member. I hope to have the support from you guys concerning this question. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hello all. I used to play minesweeper all the time a couple years ago. Recently I discovered the minesweeper clone and started playing again. Today I was on a mission to break my expert record of 70 seconds. Many chances, many mistakes. I switched to Int for a while and within 15 minutes I received a shocking surprise. 15 seconds!!! I am still in disbelief. The 3BV was 33 and the 3BV/sec actually was below my average, but what the heck. My 3 year old record for int was 18 before today. ![]() |

What's up with the AR? Why is it updated already? And why with one/more mistake(s) (just have seen amitav with his 10s penalty; last period he had a 10s penalty, too)? "A whole ****load of players have dropped out this period. Summer is always a slow period for the Active Ranking as players go on vacation. Hopefully it won't get too slow.

@ James: Congrats on beating me in the Best Ever now! @ Rasmus and Ralph: You guys are improving very fast! To be on the Best Ever list in only 6 months sounds pretty good to me. It took me about a year and a half!!! @ Everyone: I probably won't be playing much from here on until the fall. As some of you already know, I'm moving to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates in August for at least two years. Because of this I'll be leaving to go see family for most of the summer until my wife and I leave for the UAE near the end of August. I'm going to have to drop out of the AR. ![]() I think I'll still be on this guestbook though checking on how well everyone else is doing.
