Oh, I forgot.

@Die: You can only get that info in cheat mode, and thus not use it to get records and stuff. You can do a lot of cool stuff in cheat mode. The best of which is limit the 3bv of the board. (I train like that)

@KAmil: Well done! One to be proud of. I hope our advice helped.

@Marco: If I may bring my bias into the clone thing, I recommend Arbiter. You can maintain nice flow between games, I feel.

@Schu: I know the feeling. I was stuck on 18 for ages, easily a year or more. And to top it all, my current best was on winmine! I don't even trust it that much. If it wasn't for the fact that I've scored quite a few 16's since that game... I would like to beat it though.

@all-in-england: I'll only say one thing: 36-0

I've heard that there's a way to know the 3BV of a board right after the first click in Minesweeper Clone.

Is it true?
Would you consider that cheating?

And another question: Where is the "real ranking"?

Marco:
To answer your question, yes, you need a clone to register a record - this can be the clone, or arbiter, and records acchieved on viennasweeper during tournaments also count. The reason for this is that it is extremely easy to cheat on winmine - as you said, screenshots can be faked, there is the shift-xzyzzy cheat and last but not least the timer bug. Anyway, the clones are far superior to winmine! OK, a couple of players aren't going to like me saying that

@Marco: For scores 27 int or 3 beg we don't need clone vids (since it doesn't make any sense to fake them). But your 38 was fore sure not done in 38 seconds. The timer of the normal windows minesweeper is not reliable at all - it is very likely that it stopped at 38 and didn't run throughout the second half say of your game. We all know these (and similar) bugs and noone calls you a cheater for being fooled by a bug. Of course you have a genuine screenshot but it cannot prove that you've got a 38 but only that the timer showed 38 when you finished the game (and that doesn't prove anything).

btw: The counter just told me, I'd be the 771177th visitor

@Bertie & Schu: I know 38 is a very little time (the best I suppose), and I understand you don't believe me. I can prove the 38 seconds record cause I saved the screenshot, although I believe you will think the screenshots are false.
So without the clone is it impossible to register a record?

@ Bertie - Most of the IMC tend to ignore such postings. But just for fun:

@ Marco - we need video proof. Best way is to get minesweeper clone and do a video. But like bertie said, those scores are ridiculous. You may have gotten a timer bug where the timer freezes. Or you may be like all the others, trying to get on a record list without actually deserving it. Either way, it doesn't matter until we get video proof.

@ Bertie (again), yeah, I know what you mean about specialising in expert... I've been stuck on 15 for 20 months, and in the same time my expert has gone down 12 seconds...

WOW! Thanks Damien! The rivision moves me one whole spot down! Anyway.

@Marco: I might not be on the IMC, but I can quite certainly say that posting here is not enough. I don't want to come off as hostile, but I for one don't believe those scores. I favour expert quite a lot and that affects my inter time, resulting in it being 2 or 3 seconds behind my expert time, but times of 38 and 27 is rediculous. The c/s rate needed to get a 38 will by itself get you under 20 on inter.

Well that's my vote.

Real ranking (again, better)

Comments:  

I decided to make the 'Real' ranking again because I noticed many mistakes. 812 world ranked players. (The ranking I made last week had 842, because I missed many duplicates). So, this is the closest you will ever know your real rank. I think I will do this again at Christmas to compare. Have fun.

@Joni: There will never be a 'real' ranking, but this is the best we have.
@zhang: I changed the colours so it is more obvious.

just missed a 20 on the last 2 clicks and then 5min after finally a 20.
sub20 is next to be broken.
@schu . thanks for your help but it still loads til 95%. i switched off everything (log to history, counter window, custom high scores) but it still sends me a message that i'd need to do just-in-time debugg. well, history is a nice extra but as long as the games still runs i can live without it (but it's almost the same as winmine). if anyone has another idea how to fix this please tell me, if not i'm gonna wait til next version of clone.

@ Fritz: You probably have too many custom counters. You can either reduce them until history starts working, or you can do what I do, which is use a different mineseepeer.ini file for viewing your history, with no custom counters (or maybe just a couple) and swap back to the other file later.

@ KAmil: best way to gain efficiency (which is what you need) is to turn off "recording to history" and play slowly, but with as much efficiency (both clicking efficiency and mouse path efficiency) as you can do, and then gradually speed up and record to history again.

@KAmil: I might not be the best guy to give advice on playing style etc., but I'll try and give you some insights. If anyone disagrees with me, just shout .

Don't take this the wrong way, but you think much slower than you click. The old philosophy of "do as much clicking as you can muster as long as you do some solving in between" has basically hit it's limit a few years back. (a quote that comes to mind: "uneducated bravery is nothing against educated bullets" - gen. Bradley (I think )). You've unwittingly fallen pray to one of the bad habits of NF, namely th aforementioned wild clicking, which still works well in NF games, but not in flagging as there is just too much coördination needed. Remedy? Well, only advice I can give is to slow down, and think your clicks through.

Anyway. Grats to all the record breakers (So many)

i can't view my history, but my high scores are still there. every time i try to open the history window it stops loading at 95% or something. not even the save history button appears (i have saved it yet). does anyone know how to fix this ? or do i have to delete and download clone again?

Hey everyone!
Thought I'd post here again since its been a while since the last time ;)
First of all, thanks to christoph for a great tournament! I had a great time, and I now have a T-shirt with a screenie of my exp highscore on it
And most of all, this tournament showed me that I have to get my consistency back somehow

Grats to everyone who got a highscore!
Especially Manu of course ! I also felt that schus 56 NF would have deserved more acknowledgement.

And also, thanks @ damien for the real ranking, I'm glad to see that I'm under the "real" top20 of the world!

@Schu, could you upload a 46 of mine? It doesn't have to be the viennaSweeper one if thats too much trouble, but it would be nice to be able to show people who are interested a game that at least is as good as my highscore in integer time... Would be great!

@bertie: the ranking at minesweeper.info is only from my new database...it should be finished before christmas, but it is not complete yet (for example, i am not on the ranking yet! it is 70% done). on the metanoodle ranking you are #57, and if you combine P-M and my site you are #74, which drops to about #80 if you also combine roman's russian and zhang's chinese ranking. (i'm doing that for fun over the weekend to compare...i don't put people on the ranking unless i am able to contact them somehow).

Okay, here's a stupid question @Damien. How come there are 33 players who have sub50 exp, but I'm 25th on the ranking? Did I miss something about the ranking? Another thing. I noticed that there are a few new entries into the South African country ranking. When did that happen? Could you then send me their contact info, please?

Oh, & @Gergely: I'm still assesing the viability, so just hang on a little bit longer.

Grats, Zhang - and to Christoph, once again. He was on fire in the tournament final
It was a great tournament and the format is quite godd although it still needs a little polishing: too much luck required at expert, which does level the playing field a bit. Anyway, it calls for an other part of minesweeper besides speed, which is completion rate. It's waaaaaay underrated in my opinion as all the records are about the fastest games.
So this new format gives more power to logic and less to pure speed. The mix of this two component requires more attention, of course.
The problem is still to find the best format, because this 15beg-6int-2exp thing adds up to a big variation of times - just ask Roman!
We need more tests about this topic, so I'd like to call for some suggestions here. thx

After very nice int session in Vienna I decided to break my record (after Vienna I was at 16x1 and 17x17 - 1 17s game on winmine in Vienna)

Now I'm at 16x2, 17x22. Today I played 30 minutes. At 10:06 I got 17.16@46 at 10:07 16,77@37 and at 10:08 blasted 15@40 on LC... Not a guess, not a mistake, my finger was simply faster than my wrist vid in my video folder...

thx for all the grats. Sure the mode did favor me a bit, but still I would have put Tommy way ahead of me - I did only fancy overcoming Gergely and Rogen.

However, I need some sleep now...

Another one!! I'm gonna start freaking out here!

@Cristian Gallego: Well, an interresting subject you brought up there. It all has to do with statistics you see. I don't know how clued up you are on math and the like, and these are just my rough impressions, so I'll spill it all. If you were to graph the amount of games against the time (like 1x19, 2x100, 3x1000 ) you would get a graph that is something between Normal distribution function and a Poisson distribution fuction (google for a pic). The reason you'll get a hybrid is number 1: Minesweeper has a lower boud to time (Making it not pure Normal) & 2: We haven't reached it (Making it not pure Poisson). *Here speculation begins* I'll cut away this little inconvenience by assuming that the play of a player can be well approximated by a Normal d-function. This would then suggest that each player has two quantities describing their performance namely their average time, and the standard deviation from that time. This idea (sounds like something out of Numb3rs!) is basically what the math behind many athletes performance is eg. a javelin thrower. Back to your question. According to the laws of statistics you can't compute the exact value of your average when your best is 61, but given the two afore mentioned quantities (easily computed using excel) you could get an answer that would be 90 or 95 percent certain of being your average when your best is 61.

Ok, enough ranting!

Oh, @all: check out the site I linked. I find it interresting.

Gongrats to everyone you did something right in the tourney . Spacially to Tommy & Christoph. The tourney setup is kinda cool. It almost levels the playing field (NOT taking anything away from Christoph, of course ). Kinda like a handicap in golf!

Anyway. I don't know whether this should be concerning or not, but I just got a 1 click game on beginner in Arbiter cheat mode. I'm obviously not claiming the score, but it worries me that Arbiter is even able to generate a 1 3bv board. wt...?

I'm Cristian Gallego, from Venezuela, I did 65.09 in expert in exp. At present my average in int is 27.8 and in exp 79.35. My previous record was 65.59 4 months ago. But at that time my average in int was 31 and in exp 84. Because when my average in exp was 91 my record in exp was 79, when it was 94 it was 82, when my average was 101 my record was 86, when it was 111 my record was 96. I wonder what would more or less my average had to be so that i did 61...

Thanks to Christoph for another great tournament. For me it was finally tournament where I could be satisfied with my performance (3x sub20 incl. 18@53 and 3x sub70 incl. 66@202 - tied 3BVs exp record)

Unfortunately I was the one with only 1 win in Nonosweeper session, 4 2nd places and 3 3rd (8 tournamenst were played) and Stephan and Maruda have beaten me by 6 and 5 points.

Comments:  

I've reached quite an odd milestone in my minesweeper career, but it's one I am proud of nonetheless. Out of those 1000 sup5 beginner games, 97 of them are sup6, and 3 of those are sup7. The only boards I do not have a sup5 on are 4, 7, and 42 3bv boards. My 1000th sup5 occured on beginner game #23961.

Upon retrospect of my statistics, I have also surpassed 2000 3-second games (I currently have 2059). Not sure when that happened, I never monitored that. Also 361 2-second games and of course, 18 1-second games.

Yes, that's pretty much it. (Just the qualification was a tiny little bit different - you'll see as soon as I put the results online).
I intended to do that today but I was stupid enough to forget half of the result sheets at uni, I'll pick them tomorrow and put them online then.

Vienna tournament:

Part 1: best 5 int, best 5 expert (same as other tournaments).

Part 2: the fastest 8 players enter playoffs. Each player has 999s to finish 15 beg, 6 int and 2 expert. Player 1 plays against 8, 2 against 7, 3 against 6 and 4 against 5. The winner of each quarterfinal goes to next round. Gergely and Christoph made the final and Christoph finished first.

after 2 years i decided to start sweeping again, because there is fresh polish blood named Kamil , who can beat my scores and overtake me in the overall rankings very soon.
I'm playing just one week and yesterday i've got a very good intermediate board. I blew up just 3 clicks to the end (31/34 3Bv). timer shows 11,298 and unfortunetly all 3 clicks were 50/50 chances. first time ever i feel that i can beet that 15s barrier.
I've got few chances to beat my exp time too, but not yet. Maybe one day i will join sub50 elite.

Happy sweeping everybody
