Hi there

I've changed the bestever list a little bit, so that it looks more like the AR rankings. I've added some little things, like the playing style, the program used, and the dates of int&exp records.
The annoying part will be now to collect those dates.
After that I'll be able to build rankings with specified date, like "What did bestever list look like in may 2003?"
I'm also gonna put in bold the dates of recent records (less than one month for example), or add a little 'new' icon, i dont know for now.

Any suggestion, help to collect dates, new ideas... will be appreciated
Enjoy it! Follow the link below

set up my own computer (with the good, boozing mouse) and played a bit today, and got a new int time record!! I will upload the video once I hook the thing up to the internet.

also two sub60s on expert: 59.44 on a 147 and 57.22 on a 154.

no 1's on beginner, though!

i thing that we should agree that every level (beg, int and exp) requires different skills to do well on it. the problem about gebinner is that the fastest time possible (1 sec) can be achieved. if u could get a 1 on int u can say the same things u say about beg about int ! because u cant get "better" on it.
so beg is something special and because u can get the best possible time and there is no possibility to finish it faster it is hard to compare ur skill on beg.

As for int, in a way I don't think you can really compare it to exp., especially for flaggers there is a huge difference. (BTW, I have a new int record, forgot to post it...) anyway, int is more like a "eat the cheese, leave the holes, and do it quickly" exercise, I think its less fun than expert (probably cause I'm not as good at int ) but it still requires a different kind of skill than beginner. I think you can say that int and exp are on a higher skill dimension, if you know what I mean... I use the word dimension because I don't want to say that a different level of skill is needed but that you most definetly need skill in different areas of solving. On beg its reflexes and a little dexterity, on int and exp its reflexes, a lot of dexterity, efficiency, sometimes logic and you definetly need logic to get to the point where you can stop thinking in mine positions altogether, you just need a lot more expertise... (as I notice the word isn't beginnertise) and you have to be able to apply all these skills for more than one second, that means that you have to be next to flawless. Mistakes go back to me please, I'm too tired to correct.

Well, @sub50 argument: If you deliberately take an easy board and play it I am certain that you will on general get a better score. If you know that you're about to play an easy board you will concentrate on playing it well. but mostly you will give your average random "super boards" exactly the same effort as any average board, meaning that you aren't as fast. You might also have watched those record vids a few times but even if you haven't I think knowing you've got a good board makes you play a lot better.

Call me stubborn, but that arguement doesn't make much sense to me. Expert is hard(er). It involves infinitely more skill than beginner does. If beginner isn't in AR (because what you said is that it does NOT distinguish the skill of sweepers) then why is it in bestever?

@Daniel: Beginner isn't included in AR anymore exactly because some people think it's a waste of time and because everybody (more or less) can get a 2 every period anyway but it would be a bit tougher to get a 1 every period. I guess I have that 'many' 1s because I acutally like the beginner level. I like the part about fast reflexes. 2.7 on a 7 3bv board might just mean that you don't start out fast but that you're good at accelerating. I have a 2 on a 9 3bv board and possibly that's a much bigger achievement than getting a 1 but bestever has never been about the best games - it's about the easiest boards that people were good enought OR lucky enough to finish! I noticed that I had an expert game recently that I finished but where I had made 11 guesses! Now, it that had been a new record it would have been luck, right? Well, so what? I've tried to play a few of the boards that people got their high-scores on and I've gotten as low as 45 on my first try on a board. Hey, this means I have the skill to get a 45 but you don't see me complaining about it because I know luck is part of expert level as well. If I keep playing expert I might be lucky enough to actually get a 45 some day or at least a sub-50 but that certainly requires a lot more patience (and thus 'waste of time') than it does to get a 1 on beginner.

I've never really liked the expert level (until I finally got kind of decent at it) so let's take all expert scores out of the best-ever list!...? There's almost always at least one guess (=luck) involved and the games take so long to finish so you waste more time than on the other levels... I know, stupid arguement but I don't like the beginner arguement either so let's just agree to disagree on which levels we prefer individually and keep the best-ever as it is.

@Jarad:

First of all, sorry for messing up your name.

I think we (myself included) seem to have strayed away from the original arguement. That would be that beginner is not indicitive of skill at all. So what if somebody can play beginner for x number of weeks and get a 1? If it was indicitive of skill, it would not take that long. That happens on other levels (witness AR), but not on beginner.

Im sorry, but you cant tell me that if you concentrate on only beginner for as long as it takes, it wont happen. The thing that happens to really good minesweeper players is that we get bored playing stupid beginner over and over because quite frankly, its boring and a waste of time. I know this because for the longest time I couldn't get a one and I played a lot of beginner. I then came to the conclusion that I would not, under any circumastances, play int. or ecp. until I got a one. Guess what, I finally got a one and I have never played beginner again.

You know, this discussion on beginner has been going on forever. If you want a one on beginner, just keep playing beginner, it will eventually happen, I didnt have a 1 so I just decided to play beginner until I got one, it took a little while but thats what happens, so just suck it up if you dont have a 1 and play until you get it, it make take a day, it may take a year, it took me almost five years.

To everyone who wants a one on beginner:
the key seems to be to improve your reflexes. So generate a 8*8 board with 4 mines. I just played boards like that the last couple of minutes (since I posted the last entry) and I can almost feel my reflexes becoming better from game to game... the situations you get are basically the layout of an extremely easy beginner board minus the groups of mines on the side. It really helps!

Well, I guess beginner does require some sort of skill, but I think its not the same type of skill as the one needed to play exp or int. Its not about efficiency, there is pretty much one game style which is just clicking fast on the squares that matter. And playing till you get a board where you can practically atually get a one and using those few boards to train your reflexes until you finally get one is sorta humiliating. I mean, "hey, cool board *wham* OK, play for another half hour until something interesting and useful happens for ummmm like 3 seconds..." Why do people play beginner? I can't really believe its because it's so much fun, more like the reason I'm gonna play a few custom low density 8*8 boards, to get that one second record that will enable me to screw beginner for the rest of my life.
Here's an idea for bestever: Don't include beginner in the total, and if the decimal sums of exp+int are the same for two players then rank the player with the better beg. time higher...

@Dennis - Personally, I think the ideal way to do bestever is to kill beginner and use decimal totals. Hey, I can dream, right?

I would get a 1.99 if I could get the right board. I have 2.6 on a 7... schu's the same way as I am, and Oli has over 50 2s. Perhaps it's not as easy as you think.

Also, keep in mind that there are a few 1.00s in there as well, but because of the way the IMC decided to enfoce 3bv limits (new records only which is entirely unfair IMO), they are still there.

@Thomas - very nice! I have no idea how to turn off accel on win 98.

@Dennis - thanks! It was entirely all luck. My 1.96 on a 4 is the only one that involved skill; 1.59 on a 2 was the easiest board ever, and 1.82 on a 3 was me swerving and hitting good cells accidentally.

If we made the minimum 3bv for beginner a 4, we'd weed out a lot of the lucky games, I'd say.

@Daniel: Define skill! They might be better at reacting in a split second but not able to keep up that speed on the other levels, they might spend far more time on beginner than you, they might have been somewhat luckier... Besides - and I had a hard time accepting this myself - best-ever might not be the best way to measure skill level. It's just there to display all-time records. If you want to compare your skill to that of other sweepers then I think it's better to take a look at the clone rankings - the average top 25 games in particular is a great way of measuring skill in my mind. So is 3bv/s rankings (and a top 25 for those would be nice as well) if you ask me but it's all a matter of personal 'likings', I think because some people seem to disagree with this.

Finally, don't just look at it like: That person is behind me on bestever but has a 1 and I only have a 2. His might be 1.99 and yours might be 2.00 (not likely - but possible) so as long as we don't display the scores with decimals on best-ever then perhaps it's not the best way of comparing scores, especially for beginner. Now that this is the way best-ever works, use it for your advantage! Get a 1.99 and have it count just as much as the guys who have 1.47 or whatever. If you keep working at it I'm sure you could also get a 1-sec beginner score, just like I had to work hard on expert to finally get a score that reflected my 'skill' when compared with the other levels.

I think I'm one of those people who think that beginner is not just about dumb luck. Of course luck is involved but it still takes some skill to get a 1 unless you do it in one click or by random clicking. I always just hit the same square as the first one and wait for an opening (otherwise I hit F2). This way I still have to see the opening, figure out where the spaces I need to click are, go there, and click them before the timer changes to 2. I don't think luck is any part of that - it's most of all about fast reactions and that is part of Minesweeper. I have gotten 4 or 5 1s on 8x8 and I have gotten just as many on 9x9 and although I have one 1-click beginner score, most of them are 3 3bv boards and my 'best' one was 4 3bv. Come on, I'm sure Oli and any other good sweeper could get a 1 if they really wanted to and if they used the proper tactics. If they choose not to then I think it's because they don't really care if someone is in front of them because of beginner - at least not enough to do something about it.

@Levente: I think it's awesome that you managed to get a 1 that way. You must have really fast reflexes and of course quit a bit of luck as well. Congrats!

I just read through the Topics Page. That's one awesome remake! Congrats @Levente for the eraser pad 1 ! I agree that beg sorta sucks (only exeption is in class when youre done already ), but taking it out of the ranking completely is a bit much. after all its still part of the game sort of... What if you subtract 2 from all the beginner scores? Then there is no difference between twos and ones (I think getting a two isn't that hard)
And how do you get an int-record of 58 with an eraser pad? I'm on my mothers laptop atm anyway, I'll try it out...

Yeah, this is why beginner should not be counted in the rankings.

If Levente can't beat 58 on int, why should he be considered better than oli on beginner? I mean Oli is the second best player in the world, and he hasn't gotten a 1 for christs sakes. Why are we leaving everything up to luck? Anybody who does not have a 1 knows that is a *significant* disadvantage to not have a 1 on bestever, and there are people in front of them that are not as good.

Honestly, just consider it (especially the IMC). I know a lot of you have 1s, and should probably realize that it's dumb luck. While a big jump on expert is lucky to generate the board, it still takes skill to solve. This is not true with ones.

playing on a laptop with one of those eraser things as a mouse. Combine that with hellish acceleration, and no wonder I can't finish an expert game before hitting an inevitable physical error.

Got a 58 (NF) on intermediate, and then got beginner down to 9, and then 5... then on a 3bv=3... 1.82! One opening, and then the accel put me right where I needed to be for the other two!!

There have already been comments:

1. Ranking with x.00: this is not the final version. However, I don't know how to write a program yet to penalise scores (and I'm not going to adjust by hand all 2400 people on this site!)...so, suggestions welcome and I will try to solve it.

(Rationale for the moment: the average winmine98 game loses .5s a game due to timer jump...the x.00 compensates partially for this. However, at the moment I don't compensate for XP beginner being much easier than either 98 or the clone)


2. There are some scores (like Roman, Lukascz) that are out of date...I will be contacting the big players, and beg the rest of you to ruthlessly scan the lists

Well, a lot of work went into this, so I hope someone likes it! Now, at last, I can deal with the flood of complaints everyone has been holding back ... can accept updated clone scores ... can apologise to the many patient people who were not properly recognised while I tried to incorporate other versions into the rankings.

Many thanks to you all for the many great times and memories...this community will always play a special part in my life.


@Jared: good to see you again...last summer I accidentally overwrote about 40 people (so far only half a dozen have noticed)...I'll be glad to fix it. (If you know the dates, I'd appreciate the extra info...you might be in the new rankings)

it was a hard 4 though. The first click opened, but the next 3, while clearly identifiable, were almost in 3 separate corners. Had I been alert and not on a mouse that vacuumed donkeys, I'd have gotten a 2.2 or so at best.

@Ace: Yeah you do

Levente and I just met up for lunch. His car was packed full so we walked to the mall to get burgers and discussed records and people and such. He came back and played two games: a 13.46 on a 13 (and it logged to my history, grr), and a 3.2 on a 4 (how exactly does he get the low 3bvs?????). I didn't play any but right before he got here I passed him on the nonosweeper rankings

I got hooked on minesweeper about 2 months ago, and have been steadily improving since. Obviously I'm not even CLOSE to most people, but I think it's fun all the same. Thanks for the site--it's pretty cool!

Broke the syndrome but did not sub65. It was on a 141 with A LOT of NFing (by my standards)... 43 left unflagged. Even though I didn't sub65, it feels pretty good to have broken the syndrome

just send them to my box at thefinerminer at hot. there are a few more scores to add (the custom has not been updated for 2 months) because i don't know how to let some players send in multiple custom scores when I've used Access to set unique ID numbers (no duplicates). I'm trying to solve this. Congrats!

Anyone know if the records for high density boards on here are still current? If so, I've just set a new one: 211 mines on the max size board (24x30)

Where should I send a screenshot to?

73 on a 178 Sunday night... vid attached

Clone v0.97 beta Runtime Error (file already open) Observation:

First off let me say that I have not read all literature available simply because Detrusor's forum is so huge so what I am writing may have already been discovered. However, I have not seen it so I am writing it here anyway. I have tested the following observations on my computer only, so I cannot say whether they apply to all users.

We all know to change high scores to 0, not let the cursor leave the board during gameplay, and to turn off autorecording, etc... However, it is hard to keep the cursor from leaving the board and runtime errors still occur.

Now some observations: After saving the video to any completed game, if the "save video" box does not disappear, it means that a corrupted video has been saved (the game has been recorded to history, however). If this occurs, you can still view the replay, which is unharmed, and if it is a spectacular game, etc, you should use a screen capture program like camtasia or Schu's snagit to salvage the vid.

Now another important observation: The runtime error will pop up upon winning the next game. The game may or may not save to history. If the game does not save to history, and you use the counters window to cover the timer as I do, the time can be reconstructed with some degree of accuracy by following formula: totalclicks/clickspersecond +1= time... using the clicks and clicks per second information on the counters window. The 3BV can be determined by reconstructing the board: taking a screenshot of the board when the runtime error window pops up and recreating the board in edit mode, a part of cheat and UPK modes. RQP and 3BV/s can be approximated using the time and 3BV.

To prevent the popup runtime error, it is important that you close out and reopen minesweeper clone instead of starting new games after each game whose video is corrupted. In addition, to determine whether a game's video has been corrupted, it is important that you save videos of ALL GAMES to make sure the save video box disappears. If you normally save only the best vids in order to conserve space on your computer, you should save unwanted vids into a separate folder to be mass-deleted later. (I feel I should mention that I do not know whether not attempting to save a corrupted video in the first place still allows the more hazardous runtime error to occur, and I suspect that it does, but at any rate it seems safer not to take any chances.

By following these simple steps it seems possible to completely avoid any of the dreaded losses caused by the popup runtime error, including video loss, statistics loss, and sanity loss.

Wow, that was long...

Heh...I'll save Elmar, Levente, and Rilian the trouble:
