Thank you Rasmus for the suggestion but the pain is mostly in my joints although i will try the wrist stretches as a preventative.

And Christoph, I am in rural NSW, Australia which explains the odd posting times. Right now it is 8:06am and extremely cold here.

@Thomas: Too bad about those missed oportunities - espicially the last one! I got a 57 yesterday but other than that I haven't gotten a sub-60 for a very long time. I actually got an estimated 51 - 75/115 3bv solved - but that board was also very sweet. There would have been an 8 in the lower right corner though, so I might not have finished it even if I hadn't messed up. ;o) I got a 13 yesterday as well, so I'm not doing too badly these days even though I can't play for very long because of my finger hurting; not my wrist or hand!

Joni: I can't finish 6 expert games myself in a couple of hours. I would have trouble sweeping for that long but even if I could, I would have big problems finishing that many games and I would certainly have to reduce my playing speed so that I would only get scores in the 70s at best. I guess that's the down-side of being an NF'er!

Oh no, I think I didn't explain myself right in the last post. I didn't have my mouse for two weeks so I didn't play, but I got it back yesterday, don't worry , and I just got a boost of confidence too, my second sub70 (Did I say sub60 earlier??? Oh, my! where was my mind wandering when I wrote that , anyways, I meant sub70) a 69.956 on a 133 3BV board. It may be as close as you can get to 70, but it still count's right! I added a couple of scores in the 70s after that, so I feel much better now. Hope to have done a better job with this post too.
And Thomas, I wish you the best, and hope you crack that minute barrier soon!

Kat...

I assume you mean your wrist, right? I had the same problem when I was playing exp constantly and in addition was doing a lot of heavy lifting at work. I fixed it by doing this: Use your non-playing hand to bend your playing hand back until you feel a slight pain in your wrist, then bend it forward. Repeat a couple of times, then shake your hand a bit. Give the sweeping a break for a few days, cos in my experince it only gets worse. Do the above mentioned excercise as often as you can. Both before, during and after sweeping. After 2-3 weeks you should be fine, then just use the excercise as a warm-up before playing. Also very important! Keep your wrist as level as possible - use your table or chair as support.

Sorry, didnt see your entry, I had the site open already.
Dont worry, If you can sub60 youre definetly capable of finishing 6 exp games. You dont have to use your touchpad, maybe another player can lend you his old mouse for the tournament. I cant unfortunately, My old mouse is nothing you want to play with... Youll definetly be able to play with a mouse though, worst thing that can happen to you is that you have to use one of the mouses there.

hey Thomas, looks like you're in great shape!
I have been trying to practice a bit for the tourny the last couple of days, and I've been playing really badly. I actually stopped playing a couple of weeks ago after making my first sub60 (as I had to lend the mouse to my sister and was left with my laptop's touchpad... Don't now what the minesweeper records are using a touchpad, but it's not fun at all), and now I'm having truble even finishing expert games. Today I finished only three, all 80s. I'm really scared I'm not gonna make 6 complete expert games in Vienna.

Sorry if this depresses you even further, but today was one of the best expert days I ever had. So far I scored 5 sub70es, one of them a 3bvs/s record, a 66 on 195 at 2,96 3bvs/s. I feel capable of sub60ing anytime at the moment, I got a lot of phenomenal estimates, even if I didnt get very far on most of them. still, I blasted one low sub60 estimate on a forced guess on a game where I was at probably 2/3 of the game. And the day's not over yet... It might have something to do with the fact that Im listening to music while sweeping again. Guess I'm earning my 60... Well, back to work.

Well done Kat, keep on playing NF, you get used to it a lot quicker than you'd think!
Also, I personally would recommendto play exp NF too after your'e decent on int. One of the reasons I love to play NF once in a while are the flagging games I play afterwards. (Maybe I should play NF every day for half an hour to warm up...) I'm pretty sure the NF session I played yesterday helped me get that 18. It really is great to stop your efficiency from stagnating ;)

well the good news is that you've gone under 100 in real time. The bad news is that flagging absolutely everything was an extremely hard habit for me to break. I broke it by playing non-flagging, beginner first then intermediate, the expert if you want, but stopping at int should be fine. This will also help your solving skills.

Good luck!

Welcome here Kat!
Don't worry, about a year ago my highscores were at 5XP-30-89, you get there pretty fast (even though it doesnt seem like that ). And your hand should stop aching too much pretty soon, you adapt pretty quickly once you start playing regularily. Good luck!

hey bp: very frustrating! i usually suggest marking all flags until you get to about 200s or less on expert (it'll only take you about 10-15 finished games to get there). chances are, even with marking those 39 bombs you probably would have beaten your record.

on the other hand, the fact that you were able to avoid flagging 39 mines suggests you have exceptionally good solving skills compared to your scores. in your case, i would swear at the game and then keep playing, because you will get a board in a few days where you don't need to guess and you will have saved so much time. most of the top players tend to leave 20-30 mines unflagged.

luck!

Playing Expert today and i was restricted to 6 squares in the bottom right corner with 39 bombs left acroos the board and the following scenario:
$ = flagged ? = unknown

$3$$
2???
1???

I hit the box on the bottom line in the middle and BOOM! had this result: x = bomb

$3$$
2?xx
1xxx
How was i to know that the three squares in the corner had bombs? solve the remainder of the puzzle would've proved tedious to have a guess at one or two of three boxes in the top left hand corner of the six...

I think minesweeper rorted me.

Im back in Vienna!
And even though I didnt get around to a lot of sweeping, I managed to get an 18. As a matter of fact, I LC 50/50ed another 18 a couple of minutes after that game, about a quarter of a second later my laptop ran out of power, so I dont know the hundredths... I couldnt play for the last ~10 days because I injured my right index finger while cutting wood (not badly though, its fine now), so I have a lot to do to get back into the game again ...
@MS X topic, Felix Brosch, someone from my school uses it and sent me times of 2-28-91 (and hes improving fast), so I think its not improbable that he reaches BE soon.
Congrats @ all record breakers!!!

@ AreOut: I don't use enhanced pointer precision because when I tried it I sucked at minesweeper. I might give it another try, but I think you have to get used to it while learning minesweeper, so it might be too late for me or maybe it makes no difference anyway .

But enhanced pointer precision is a standard option in windows XP and maybe other versions too, in fact I think it may be checked by default in windows

So I wouldn't call it cheating at all.

Stevan, I don't suppose you've heard the saying "well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black"?

Benny Benjamin and I met mith Dion Tiu today. We went for lunch at chinatown, then went to that LAN cafe again to sweep. After installing clone and having a look at each others styles, and getting used to the setups, we got to buisiness. Dion got used to the mouse fairly quickly and got a 47 on a 187 after not too long. I think he got a 13 on a 36 soon after that, and a 50 after. He topped the day off with a 43 on a 149. European sweepers, be glad he's so far away from Vienna or Budapest! He got some other scores in the 50s.

I got the distinction of being the first to finish an expert game, with a 90. Better than nothing....I got an 80 afterwards, having wasted 7 seconds on the last click. I redeened that with a 73. I had a lot of good estimates towards the end when I got used to the mouse speed (I brought my own mouse, but not the driver software), getting very close to a 64. I also got 22x2, 24 and 25.

Benny started with a 93, and got several scores in the 80s and a 79. In intermediate, he got a 24x5 syndrome.

Now the question on everyones minds: what's his secret!

I'd say he has the knack of mouse control, because he adapted to the cafe mouse very quickly. Interestingly, he uses "enhanced pointer precision", the windows option.This means he can get his cursor to the right spot in time to keep nearly all of his clicks effective, even though he is quite brutal in a sense of clicks per second. That's just my opoinion though.

Unfortunately, the computers we used must have had some aspect of .net disabled or have some firewall issue, meaning we couldn't get videos. I also forgot my camera, and my phone camera is god awful. Hopefully we'll meet tomorrow or the day after as well.

Set a new expert record while playing in a sleepy state xD

Also set my second best beginner time, which makes it eight 1-second games (1.59 on a 3 3bv board).

Hey boys! Merry summer

Haven't played a really good game in months, then all of the sudden I pull a 58 on a 150 out of my a$$. Second best ever - felt it was worth posting...

Grats to all who broke their records. Levente you *****. Haha - you turned out to be one hell of a sweeper.

I agree with Schu.. I can't solve for S#$@! I'm workin' on it, hopefully playing a lot more NF, will improve some skills... and crack that silly sub 60 barrier ;)

Met Jason today for lunch and a sweep. Thankfully, the computers at the LAN cafe that we went to had .net and let us install clone. We did a lot of comparing of styles. He can click quite well, but can't solve for ****. I can solve like a mofo, but can't play very brutally.

So yeah, he can sweep

I was hoping to meet Dion but he couldn't come, so we're hopefully going to meet up monday or tuesday. jason had to leave before Benny finished work, so they didn't meet. benny and I played some table tennis when he did finish work.

Well, next Friday is the tournament in Vienna.

I booked the tickets today .... the cheapest way to get there is to fly to warsaw and take a 15h bus journey!

I know there are a lot of people who don't care about the tourney but who are desperate to see me...i will be signing autographs near the university....

full details are on christoph's site (http://ms.dotti.at)

The best 15 minutes of my minesweeper career (last night):

20:55 * Arj|refueledornotIwonder Last game: 64.386sec - 3BV=154 - 3BV/s=2.43 - RQP=26.5 - level=exp *flagging* OBV=156.66 ***RQP Record***

21:01 * Arj|refueledornotIwonder Last game: 70.128sec - 3BV=161 - 3BV/s=2.329 - RQP=30.11 - level=3exp *flagging* OBV=162.68

21:06 * Arj|refueledornotIwonder Last game: 72.832sec - 3BV=176 - 3BV/s=2.45 - RQP=29.73 - level=exp *flagging* OBV=170.46

21:10 * Arj|refueledornotIwonder Last game: 69.52sec - 3BV=157 - 3BV/s=2.291 - RQP=30.34 - level=exp *flagging* OBV=163.51

My first 64.667 was on May 18th, 2006. After nearly two months, way to beat it twice in two nights! It was also nice to actually win 4 good expert games in 15 minutes...

The AS stands for Art School. I am at an art program during the day this summer and during lunch some girl had a laptop... so I played and got some fairly decent results. I saved screenshots on her computer... The 2xp was 3bv=3, and the mouse slipped (I played the game before I changed the mouse speed and acceleration)... so I should have been a 1... oh well, it's not like it matters...


I've actually been in good form the past two nights... It feels pretty d*mn good. Hoping for some good results tonight!

/me will be 16 in less than 24 hours.

@Christoph: I would love to come. I just can't afford it right now and I also have other plans around the dates of the tournament. I don't know if my LH skills are amazing really. It hasn't taken much practice so I'm sure others would be able to do the same or better with some practice, but thanks for the praise.

Decided to give it another try on int. I've played for about an hour now and then I got a 33 3bv board with an easy finish, so I managed to get 18.259! It's quite the coincidence how close this is to the 18.26 I LC'ed about a week ago! Weird but nice! I don't remember the decimals of Damien's 18 but I might just have the WR on both int and exp! My beginner record is 2.645... Don't know if Damien beat that either.

Down to a LH total of 90 now! Pretty sweet!

I see you've noticed that too...


By the way, I've been to Montenegro (Crna Gora right?) once four years ago. I was in high school working part-time as en electronic technician, and went to Shkodra (I believe it's called Skadar on your side) with the boss because we had some work to do there. When we finished, our clients took us at a restaurant on the other side of the border for dinner. It was by a river named Cemi in albanian. Just below there was a very pretty waterfall. Had a nice time there.


to Lazarus: In italiano il minesweeper di windows si chiama "campo minato" o nelle versoni piu recenti "prato fiorito". Non so se ci sia una community, ma puoi provare a cercarla con questi nomi...

Hi everybody,
My name is Jonian Grazhdani and I'm an Albanian student in Italy.

I found this site a long time ago (two years ago maybe), when I was making some really great expert times (low 90s I think) and I was really crushed by the times people were doing here. I watched some videos, and couldn't quite follow the mouse movements. The guy (they were Lasse's if I remember correctly) was flagging and clicking at a crazy speed. I even thought it was being fast forwarded.

I came back a couple of months ago when I got a 75 on expert to see if i could write my name somewhere, just to make my country present in the ranking list. Again I was dissapointed by the fact that I had a combined time of more than 100. Actually I hadn't played much beginner or intermediate till then. So I downloaded the Clone and started sweeping. I got a 22 and a 3 the next week, but I really wanted to make a better impression so i put myself two goals: I was going to come back after a sub-20 and a sub-70.

To my surprise I was playing better on intermediate. I got a 19 and then a 17.2.

I had a harder time in expert. I was desperately close to sub-70 several times only to lose it with stupid finishes, got a lot of low 70s, 70x3, 71x3 but wasn't quite catching it. I even made the timer dissapear as I couldn't stop myself looking at it when I was sweeping near the top right part of the board.
Today during a slowish session I was surprised to see the popup, and amazed when I saw the time: my first sub-70: a 63!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought I might have been able to get a 67 at best. I never expected to get this far up the rankings, and thinking about it 63 looks really very far away to me... might take some time to fill in the gaps and get back there again.
below there's a link to all the videos,

I'm looking forward to meet some of you in Vienna
Greetings,
joni

YES!!! I've now made it to the best-ever as well with my left hand. I know you did it first, Damien, but I don't think you got a 70, right? In that case, this is a new 'bad hand' WR! Cool! Just a shame it wasn't a sub-70! Still, it was a very nicely played game. NF style of course, 155 3bv, 70.971 seconds, 2.215 3bv/s, 0.820 IOE... Lots of new records with that game. I think I would be able to get a sub-70 but it would require a nice board, of course.

LH total: 2-20-70 = 92

I actually missed a LC 18 (18.26) with my left hand about a week ago. It was not a guess, I just misclicked... The 2 I got was on a 3 3bv board with two openings, so it was quite alright, I think.

Hey dude,

I hadn't checked this sight for a long long time, because i thought that you did not accept my notification of my best beginner time as a non-cheat. I was pleased to find out that you had finally included my score... not so pleased to find out that you put me as a North American. Surely there can't be another person with my name and time, can there? Anyway - not that it really matters, but I'm Australian.

Cheers,

Me.

My best AR ever- 16+62=78

Moves me up to 113th on bestever, tied with James Custer, and best in my state (Connecticut)... An early birthday present- my birthday is this Wednesday... Hopefully I'll break the minute barrier soon, as well as get rid of my 16 syndrome.

Makes up for my lc62...
