Many congratulations, Rogen!!

Amazing game, and great speed too. Really nice board, only 3 openings. I loaded the board and UPKed it even before watching the video, and got 13 in the first try. I wish to get a dreamboard like this one day! For now, I still have 15 on int!

Excellent game, really deserved. Congrats!

GRATS ROGEN!!!!!!

And I'm also extremely proud of the fact that I'm better than tam in the AR by an astounding hundredth of a second

I'm flying to canada tomorrow thoug, so no more from me for the next 3 1/2 weeks - hope I'll make the next AR deadline I'll probably go online in an internet cafe and play an int and exp game for the next AR .

Also, I got a couple of extremely frustrating highscore estimates lately - I ****ed up a couple of sub45es in the last quarter of the game, and got bunches of ~40 est ~47 estimates. Also, I wont have a lot of time to train for the vienna tourney, as I have to take an extremely important test the day before the tournament, and will be gone the time before then. So, essentially I'm forced to take a break for until the tourney
So, until then, happy sweeping!

I recently downloaded 0,97 beta and after about 600 games without even a 15 I got this pretty nice board that was suitable for a new record.

Well anyway, I have few questions. Is it possible to get a 3BV 29 board (0,97 clone) and will the possible records be accepted? I mean I´ve got a few of them and they have been extremely difficult.

Also the terms RQP, IOE, IOS: naturally I noticed the explanations in the dictionary but what is the history of these measurements and what is a good score in each category?

As Nikolai said Vienna is very popular place on last weekend of summer. I can say the popularity is HUGE! There are no empty rooms at all (with prices <200 eur per night). Better to book a place to live now.

I found a hostel near meeting location: Hostel Porzellaneum, Porzellangasse 30 A-1090 Wien, http://www.porzellaneum.sth.ac.at . I wonder what Christoph will say about that place.

@Christoph: check e-mail, I have huge troubles. Please answer quickly.

@christoph: easyjet has started flights direct from edinburg to vienna....but not until October. All other companies you have to go to London first, so it's expensive. I found a cheap flight (£162) from Edinburgh to Munich and back...just have to figure how to go from Munich to Vienna cheap. Send me an email Christoph. I looked at the format of the tourney and it got me pretty excited...still not sure if I can come though.

Now I have the same time as Schu when I entered the guestbook - "Schu 64" this combination is burned-into my brain hehe, now my old me looks up to my current one ô.O

...just some games on clone and already a new record (that happened to me several times before) - meanwhile I really believe that the different clones create boards with significant difficulty differences

So I was wondering, what are the odds of having an international minesweeper competition anywhere here in the USA? I'm sure there'd be a decent amount of American sweepers that could make it, especially if it was held during the summer, or Christmas or spring breaks, anytime when school isn't in session.

How many games does it take to get a board of 2 3BV for you guys? I know I've had a board this good in the past, because I found some videos of me solving it a couple of times in UPK (although I don't remember it). I had a look at the date of the video, then put that as a filter in the history mode, and found that since then I've completed over 3000 beginner games without encountering a similar board. The best board I've ever completed is 4 3BV. And that's in over 5000 total completions now.

On another topic, I'm definitely improving in expert mode. My completion rate has gone up a lot, and my efficiency graph seems to have two peaks now, rather than settling into a normal distribution. It seems that the lower peak is from my initial, not very good, clone play, and the better peak is from my improved play, after I started using 1.5 clicking, and slowed my game right down for a while to improve my play. Recently I got a 62, which was half a second off my record, and a new record, but only by a third of a second or so. Also, weird thing, I got a new flagging 3BV/s record today on beginner, and when I checked it, it was identical to my non-flagging 3BV/s record, at 4.529.

Grats to Tam, Ian, and everyone else with a high score recently.

@Andrey, Joni & AreOut: Andrey, dude, there leading you astray! Just kidding, both valid points on the subject, but not the decisive factor. Let me explain. The 3bv of a board is actually a quite ambiguous figure which doesn't take into account - or actually hides quite effectively - a crutial piece of information about the hazards a board contain. It simply gives you no indication of how many holes there are, or how big they are. Okay, I know that uncovering a big bubble isn't as big a help as it seems at first glance because you are still only solving 1 3bv. This can actually hinder a player playing at high 3bv/s speeds because it's hard to maintain that rate with (1)the overload of new info, and (2) the large distance needed to travel for the next click, etc. This isn't the biggest hazard poses by a hole though! You actually loose the most time clicking away at squares located on the edge of these holes. Example: If you play at approx 3 3bv/s and you encounter a 1 in a hole scenario, first instinct tells you to click the three just below the hole (in which the 1 sits). Unbeknown to you these three squares are on the edge of a hole. Thus you just wasted about a seconds worth of clicks (maybe a bit less) and your 3bv/s for the two second or so period drops to something like 1-2 3bv/2.

This brings us to the low 3bv slow game thing. The holes on a low 3bv noard are not only on average more, but also bigger => more edge squares => bigger chance of wasted clicks.

Well that's my opinion. After I realised that and implemented countermeasures ( ), my time dropped by 4 secs within about three ours!

Nuff from me now. Grats to everyone, specially Benny and Tam. I think you might need a few new goals Tam.

@Oded and Tibor:
You might try giving a look at the link attached (clone's bug report forum) to see if you can find sth in there, or start a new topic. I Have to warn you the place is not very active, but at least it should catch the attention of Schu, who should give you a hand to get to rodrigo in the worst case.

@Andrey: It's all about preferences and styles and forced guesses and the time of day and the position of the moon and of the travelling salesmen in town. The old masters used to consider 3BV an indicative index mainly for NF games... personally i do like many of those 140-160 games too, they're more "regular" i think

The 3BV/s record for 3BV>3 is 9.59ish, achieved by CowMan on a 3BV of 4. A few weeks ago, Badgers raged through several good beginner games, including, unless I am mistaken, a sup8.5 3BV/s game on a sup20 3BV board. I think I saved the chat log, but I'm away from my usual computer until Monday.

I have achieved my fifth sub-50 today, a 49.01 game on a 135 board. Why is this important? This game signifies the conclusion of all the goals I set at the beginning of the year, which were (based on my memory):

-A World Record on Beginner 3bv/s
-Sup-5 on intermediate (achieved twice)
-11 on intermediate
-A sub-50, and at least four more after that ((49x2, 48, 47, 46))
-At least 100 sub-60's (I now have 129, five of those games are sub-50's)
-Sup-3.75 3bv/s on expert (I have four games that are above this value)

@Jason: Congrats on the beginner record! I think you're the fourth person to ever reach a sup-7 value, and as Damien stated, one of the few to achieve a two-second game on a board of 10+ 3bv.

Does 3BV really reflect the board's difficulty on exp lvl??? I can't take advantage of low 3BV boards, most of my best times are on 140-160 boards. When I get a low 3BV board, it only drops my 3BV/s performance. It seems to me that the time rather depends on how quickly you find the openings and how wise you balance flagging/chording. Am I wrong??

So this topic came up a while back, but I was wondering what the acceptable minimum 3BV is for a 3BV/s record on Beg? I just got 2.39 on a 10 board, for a 3BV/s of 7.19 (vid linked). My previous record was 5.22, and I think I remember the world record being 7.5 or thereabouts by Tam(??). Anyway, can I count this personal record in good conscience?

@roman: i don't think i can come, even though this may be the last time i have a good chance of winning! i can't take holidays if the other person who does my job is on holiday, and she leaves for 2 weeks at that time (although she might cancel...). Oh...and I'm broke! If there is a way to come I will...but it doesn't look possible today.

@cody: hey, welcome!

1. if you flag a mine wrong, when you lose it shows a mine in red (or a mine with a red X on it) to show your mistake. The normal colour mine is where the real mine is.

2. if you get really lucky, you get an easy board that only needs 1 or 2 clicks to solve. (you don't need to flag everything to win, you only need to open empty spaces). sometimes you can click in these 1 or 2 places by accident when you start the game: 1 second! (1 click games are not allowed on the world ranking, but 2 are )

Hey,sometimes when I`m playing a square will say "1" so I click another square,it blows up and I look at the bomb set up and there where TWO bombs next to it,one to the left one to the right,is this just me or does it happen to everyone? It keeps messing me up when I`m really far into a game of intermediate or expert.Btw,I was just starting a new game and I clicked really fast and it said I beat beginner in 1 second how did that happen?Thanks for your time,I`m new to Minesweeper.

@Damien: Noticed how you can now access the full profile directly from the rankings. Very nicely done . Just wanted to remind you to update the links from the girls rankings too .
See you on IRC to talk about those clone history scripts

@dpearson: Well the best way I've found to keep the ball rolling in such times, is to slow myself down. I try to get myself back into the habit of play games well. If you keep playing your games well, i.e. good rqp and ioe, then speed will come. Another thing to consider: Set yourself margins of acceptability. I usually set my margin on exp to about 20 secs over my record, thus at the moment I'm satisfied if I finish a game sub70. By doing this my average 3bv/s (or rqp) climbs every time I break my record so that I can keep scoring inside the 20s bracket.

@Everyone: Who's on facebook?! It's the new craze over here, so I was wondering who amongst you guys are on there. And another thing, when are we gonna get something going on minelive? I've joined, but that doesn't mean I'm playing any!

Hello everyone!
I was advised to post here for help:
I have a problem importing the history file from version 0.97 beta to Clone 2007 (I get the "string must be greater than zero" error message and it stalls at 0.2%). I haven't been able to find a solution in the forums, and asked Rodrigo for help but didn't get any response.
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

Went to bed early, had very fulfilling sleep until I started having troubling thoughts: woke up about 7am in a start; yes, I had been dreaming in minesweeper: blasted on 54, about 20 sec better than my PB. I was not happy. I think that makes one *officially* a nerd.

It's been forever since I last posted (Mayish?)... but I've been lurking and in and out of #minesweeper... always convincing myself that I don't have enough time to post here... I'm still trying to beat 56... I'm up to about 10 sub60s...

Grats, as always @ all record breakers...

I just tried and tried and tried (and sacrificed any hope of sleep tonight) to get that youtube thing to work... it did not. I even tried winning all three records consecutively using xyzzySHIFTENTER...

Whatever... I'm gullible

I remember playing minesweeper on my dad's old 3.1 computer when I was about 10... was never able to beat expert. When I was younger I thought windows95 was a million times better than windows98.

Enough random rambling... happy sweeping

Thanks Tam - I have to say that you beating me last AR motivated me to try to beat you this one :D Ah well, theres still time ;)

I'm not sure I'm still better than you on exp - you're 3bvs/s are better than mine, I have a 3,84, and my second best is somewhere between 3,60 and 3,70. I wish I had more time to play... And you still pwn me on int and beg :D I think I'm capable of at least a 44 (got a 41 est 44 lately and that wasnt that extravagantly well-played), but I would say that 46 on 166 is extremely impressive as well!

Well, as competition is good for business I hope you pass me soon - might trigger a highscore here, and you definetly deserve it

I can remember playing minesweeper on 3.1 - or actually, watching my father play - found it fun even then

By the way, thanks Thomas, I actually got extra motivation from monitoring the AR rankings! I thought 13-52 was good enough until I saw your entry, so I reduced my 52 to 51, then a 46 to seal my position. You always seem to be slightly ahead of me in expert anyway, even if it's by only 0,02 seconds :P

AreOut: XD

And grats to Nikolaj, of course!! I didn't read through the previous posts until today, that kind of a jump is insane. Welcome into the minute-barrier!

Looking forward to watching the video of sup-6 on intermediate... it seems unfathomable, but even more possible through Dion.C46F

I beat my 3bv/s record today on expert by 0,01 value. The intermediate record I already set on a prior date, but I never realized that it was a record until I browsed through my game collection today. 51,36 on 196 and 14,11 on 57 board, respectively.

@Zhang: I've watched this video before, and his other one where he explains how to recharge batteries. In the battery video, he states "it's called electric tape because it conducts electricity," when taping the batteries together to transfer power. I highly doubt the minesweeper 'trick' is true based on that video!!
