Your Minesweeper wiki page is a good read Damien. Especially the article on the Minesweeper Congress. I got depressed reading it, but I realised we have the IMC now so its alright

AreOut, you are very observant! Before April my Expert board was 16x16 cells (like Intermediate) and contained 50 mines. In March, Shu (Andrew McCauley) suggested I make it standard, so you can see that the times from April on are realistic.

Thanks for your comment,
Sue

@Christoph: it was WP who was worried about the decimals for AR, not me

@Damien: several times you typed Steffen instead of Stephan in the article (you were talking about Stephan Bechtel I suppose)

A few of you know that I created a small minesweeper wiki last year (but didn't tell anyone...some people found it by accident). I've just moved everything to www.minesweeper.info/wiki and rewritten all the articles (and upgraded the server).
I've banned anonymous editors....I'll think about inviting some editors later when the main articles are finished. A popular complaint against me at the tournament was that I have so much information but don't give it to anyone!

Anyways, all of the articles have been rewritten...I just finished putting another 5 hours of work into the Winmine Congress article (linked). I hope you guys find this interesting!

@Nikolaj: If you don't give decimals, the game is treated as .99 (unless I included a bug ) But the rankigs look only at the integer part (only the meeting ranking is decimal) So the decimals are displayed but not ranked.

@all: tomorrow is the first AR deadline since the relaunch, so DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR PASSWORD in time.

Hi Sweepers,

I'm not a great player as you can see, but I
am good at developing online games. Here's a
link to my Minesweeper which requires no
downloads. Presently, we need more players for
greater competition!

Please leave comments or suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

hahaha, that was funny schu. I wonder if you did watch the vid till the end :D.

now i have never been good at probability, so let the pro's correct me, but in a 16x16 field with 40 bombs i'd say 40/256 = 15% chance of finding a bomb under a random square.

he flagged 40 and got 6 right. curiously my calculator says 6/40 = 0.15
Hurray for probability and randomness .
Had never seen the bomb exploding thing though first time for me , i guess that'd be really annoying if you try to play lots of games on that

Btw @Nikolaj, it's not that everybody hates manu (though somebody probably does) it just happened he did his record on a sunday when there are more people on the IRC channel...

Haven't posted anything about budapest and i apologize. Especially to Reid and those who haven't gotten the photos yet, you're gonna recieve an email soon i promise... I DO NOT FORGET!. I guess it's now clear we had a superb time there, hopefully some "reports" will come around, unfortunately myself am packed with exams till the end of may

Have a nice time,
joni

In other news, I got my first 60 today. I would upload to minesweeper.info, but I keep getting an error message about one of Zhang's games for some reason... anyway, that makes me 52,54,56,58,59x4,60,61 and ****loads of 62's and everything else. 9 real sub-60's. Yay! It was on a tough 135, with 16 openings I think.

Minesweeper competition are becoming bigger...those who have participated will find the following quote from Reuters interesting:

The first Rubik's world championship was held in 1982 in Budapest, Hungary, where the winner solved the cube in 22.95 seconds. The current record is 10.36 seconds, and the record for solving the puzzle using only the feet is 51.13 seconds.

Dennis Lutken and I have both solved Minesweeper with our feet, and the first tournament was also in Budapest (2005). Rubiks were made in 1980, Minesweeper 1990....so, with a few more years of work maybe we will be in the news.

Hey everyone. This is my first post for a really long time, and since the tourny. Thanx to all the ppl who did the organizing, and everyone who played, and (of course) all the spectators, you where great

You guys wouldn't believe the gift the Lord gave on my way back to SA. Swiss air cancelled my flight out of Zurich till the next morning. This meant I had an all expenses paid night in a St. Gallen, Switzerland! Needless to say, I didn't sleep at all. We (me and a new friend) explored the town till 3:30! I'll post the photos some time.

And another thing that has happened over the last two weaks: I improved my exp record by 4sec!!! Ironically this happened exactly a weak after the tournament . I also got a 56. That makes a total of 5 sub60 times for me.

@Christoph & Joni
Sorry guys, this means I kinda bipass you in the rankings. But I know you'll get me if I don't keep it up

Just a last question. Everyone keeps going on about how I'm 11th in the world, (my sweeping illitarate friends over here) what should I say to them I know that if Dion had participated, for instance, I would've 12th. Ah well.

@ Tommy: it's a fake, try it. I like the idea of not having edges too. I thought of having two cells of empty borders around each board, one so there is no real edge, and the second so it can act as an opening. See website for a firefox add-on minesweeper game that does this (though I had the idea before I saw this, and it implements it slightly differently). IT also has other cute ideas. Unfortunately, the clicking is dodgy, you have to hold and release over the same square. OH well.

@ Scotty, show us a video, that might help.

Hi everyone!
I havent posted here yet since the tournament as far as I can remember, so I guess this is overdue:
Thanks for a great time! I really enjoyed staying in budapest with you, the tournament was great fun and all in all it was an incredible experience.
Thanks @...
...gergely for organizing the tournament!
...christoph for ViennaSweeper!
...my roommates, joni, gabriel and roman (in random order) - I bet having to take care of me and being a little more responsible than you might have wanted must have been a nuisance, thanks for everything!
...the farniks for the beer
...damien for organizing my hostel room (It was you, wasn't it?)
...everyone I've forgotten now, and of course everyone for being great company!

I'm sorry I dodnt have time to say goodbye to everyone - I had to leave a little earlier than I had intended, so goodbye to everyone I missed out on !
OK, enough of the sentimental crap.
Grats to everyone who broke their record in the meantime, I'm not sure if I ever congratulated you on your WR dion, so time to do that now I guess
Finally, there is something I have just found on the web, which I think is a pretty interesting game mode that might be integrable into the clones, I posted it as "website", what do you think? I think that it could be pretty fun, especially as effectively not having a side means less guesses.
I guess it could be interesting for winmine hackers as well

Comments:  

@Banzhaf: Actually not, they are displayed but only the integer part is used to rank them. And that's something that cannot really be changed since especially in the AR new players are likely to appear which just discovered the community and didn't yet download one of the clones - so they don't know their decimals.

There are already some nice scores on the AR, would be great to see some more of you upload your times.

I finished an analysis of P-M and AMS minesweeper world rankings. The results:

There are 681 sub100 total players.

P-M lists 428 (188 unique).
AMS lists 493 (253 unique).

The rankings only share 240 players!

Stats for shared players who contacted both sites (109):

50 - PM has faster scores
46 - Scores identical
13 - AMS has faster scores

Stats for players who only contacted AMS but also ended up on P-M thanks to Georgi's Bestever list (131):

34 - AMS has faster scores
97 - Scores are identical

Hey guys! Very cool photos! It seems you all had a great time there! I wish I was nearer you! I'd love to participate, for sure!

Even though I was able to identify most people on the pictures, it would be nice if someone could edit one of these photos showing everybody at once, and insert people's names right next to each face.

It's interesting, because I "know" a lot of people in the community, but I don't know how most people look! It's nice to finally see all these people, after only having to imagine their faces!

I would edit the photos by myself, but I can't recognize EVERYBODY. It's just an idea, but I think it's nice!

Congrats to everyone there!

@Elmar: did you really expect me not to drink during the tournament? Of course it is Pilsner Urquell

Thanks to Martin and Lukasz for the photos, mine are linked for those who want them; the link expires in 14 days. I hope that everyone will share theirs too, especially the group photos! (who are the lucky ones who have me in them? :P)

Sorry I had to rush off so quickly, it was great meeting you all though :) Hope there’ll be a next time!

And congrats to all the record-breakers!

Oops, can't, the forum is down. Sorry Zhang, you'll have to wait until Detrusor fixes that. Then I can do everyone at once.

@Zhang: If you upload your scores to minesweeper.cc they are visible in a blink in the claimed scores rankings. You just need to get you password.

thx Schu

the tourny in Budapest was a really nice one and Roman and Manuel played almost unhumanly well. But one should point out, that there was a lot more going on, then just the two of them demolishing all the rest.
Istvan did a really good job to overtake me in the Meeting Intermediate Ranking by not more than 0.01 of a second.
I had a almost brutal match with Reid all the way through which was finally decided with my very last click of the tourny which hit a mine and kept him clear of me by 3 tenth!
Dennis played a terrific session to run away from Reid an me only in the last 20 minutes. He took rank 8 where his target was not more than finishing 5 expert games.
Bertie scored a 57 - a new personal best. What more must be said about his performance?
Lukasz played really well after such a long absence. He closed the gap to Roman down to 10 seconds!
And lets not forget about Damien. He ended up only in fourth position, but he played a new personal intermediate tournament best to overtake Oli on the tournament ranking by 0.03!

What can one say! It was a glorious world championship.

Just got a nice 59 (linked) on a 150, my top 3BV for a sub-60 and also it was .806 IOE, also my best for a sub-60. This is my 7th sub-60, 7th best time and 7th best RQP.

Thanks Christoph, putting the AR there makes a lot of sense, and I oculdn't get it to work properly, and Trusi was busy. I'll update the BE at least soon though.

Congrats everyone with the tournament, especially Manuel and Rogen! Incredible results! Grats to all record breakers too.

I was just tried how difficult it is to add an ACTIVE RANKING to minesweeper.cc - and it turned out to be easy.
For testing I uploaded the very first games I finished afterwards. So I'd say lets relaunch the AR. All scores form now on til Friday 4th of May 20:00 GMT will count.
To upload scores you can use the upload tool on minesweeper.cc -> scores and people. If you don't have a minesweeper.cc password yet, just request one. The next IMC member who passes by at minesweeper.cc will activate it.

I'm happy you liked the software (I'm still a little concerned since not everything worked perfectly. e.g. my silly mistake that the upload tool lost some bytes). Right at the moment I'm fixing some bugs on minesweeper.cc.
I hate bugs

@Lukasz: 11 months are a pretty long time... 4 sounds better That would be just right for the Vienna Tourny:

It is now 99.75% sure that the Vienna International Minesweeper Meeting 2007 will take place the 31st of August and the 1st of September.
I'm looking forward to it.

Hey guys! I am also extremely glad that I chose to take part in the Minesweeper World Championship in Budapest. I did not expect to do very well and thus am hugely surprised by my excellent result. I had never in my wildest dreams imagined to play that well. My only goal was to finish 5 expert games and I managed to finish 9. I didn't play much intermediate. I only finished 14 games, but I still got some nice scores. Number 8 in the world!!! That's pretty good! Congrats once again to all the other sweepers who did well at the tournament. It was SO nice to meet all of you along with girlfriends and sisters, etc. Just as I was about to quit Minesweeper completely you all gave me something to think about. It will definitely not be easier to quit now after meeting all you guys and taking part in such a wonderful tournament. Thank you Gergely and Christoph!
...And to the ones of you who are still in Budapest: Have a great time there and have safe trip home.

I'm very happy for getting such increadible result on expert, living with a big happy smile on the face
