Choose a Custom game (from the menu) and put as many mines as you can. You will see an 8 in the first few games. |

It's more like one in 1,000 for expert. The colour is either black or grey depending on which skin you have (which version of windows. '98 has purple 7 and black 8, and '95 has black 7 and grey 8. |

I don't feel like figuring out the probabilities (it's like one in every ten thousand expert boards has an 8), but the colour is grey. ![]() |

Well, it's been a dog's age since I last posted here. How is everyone? Wow when I left I was ranked 33, now I'm barely holding top 50. Congrats to all the record breakers. In particular people who I was fairly evenly matched with (detrusor, dennis lutken) - wow you guys are much faster than you were. Dennis = fastest NF? wow. amazing. anyways congrats. |

I was looking at player profiles and found some interesting information. Was Levente born in Budapest? At least that is what his profile says. Maybe it would be nice to return to his roots and compete in the tournament. Anyway, the other thing that immediately caught my attention is that, apparently, I am exactly 5 days older than Levente! According to his profile, he was born on the 18th of May 1981 and I was born on the 13th of May 1981. Kind of funny! ![]() Statistics, statistics! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Just read Damien’s review... Haha, the final comments are funny :P Still, Vista wasn’t targeted at professional sweepers, was it? “The button with the smiling face is gone” What?! So we’re supposed to use either F2 or the drop-down menu to start a new game? I therefore boycott Vista’s Minesweeper. By the way, what happened to the active ranking? |

"Every time you get killed…um, step on a flower a new window appears asking if you want to “Play Again”, “Restart this Game”, or “Exit”. You get another window if you win allowing you to “Play Again” or “Exit”. You even get a message if you click ‘Restart this Game’ which explains that you are restarting the same game! The only reason to believe in God is that the Replay message is a helpful tip, and tips can be disabled in the menu."

Hello everybody i finally decided to upload a logic game i made 3 years ago. it is a nice puzzle game, you control the tank which can drive on the game board and shoot and move different objects (blocks, mirrors etc) some sweepers already played it and found it very nice, so i just give the link out to public. there is not full english manual (how-to-play) but i can qrite up one soon http://distributed.org.ua/rilian/IQHOF_1_14.rar the game title is "IQ Hall of Fame" ![]() feel free to contact me about level solutions on IRC server: irc.initialized.org port: 6667 channel #minesweeper |

Hi all! This came pretty sudden. I have played some the last few months, but didn't expect a new record. Almost 3 years have passed since I made my 51... Sub50 NF - am I in the annals now? ![]() 3rd of 4th to do it? Ahh well... I think I'me back as no. 1 Danish non-flagger, that feels good. My only problem now is what my next goal has to be - I kind of thought the sub50 was something I had to work on for another couple of years ![]() Oh, I almost forgot the link to the video (I'm still playing Minesweeper Clone 0.96 - the 0.97 crashes on me and I haven't got time to figure out all the new settings in 1.0)...

and one more... get really good at plowing through forced guesses really fast. Don't hesitate. Either you win or you don't and no amount of thinking will help it. sorta similar ideal applies to the Hidden Mine Trick, where the only time you'll know if a square contains a mine is by clicking on the square next to it - you have no advanced strategic warning. Get really good at anticipating the numbers that come up: i.e. "see a two, plow on through - see a three, turn and flee" ![]() |

oh yeah, and don't use flags as part of your solving technique... use them to speed things up. There are only rare situations when you should be flagging around anything higher than about a 4, because there are so few safe squares in the vicinity, and they're so oblique to each other, that you won't get them at a good rate chording them. flagging both 1s of a 1-2-1 and chording through it, and then chording the backside, seems to work well for me, as one example. But if you have a field of 3s and 4s and 5s, there's little point in flagging it. Just pluck out the safe squares. |

Alex: learn all the simple patterns and how they are obscured by the presence of extra mines. My method is always to subtract from every number the already known mines, and you'd be surprised how many patterns reduce themselves to well-known ones like 1-2-x. For example, if you have a 2-3-1 with a known mine above the 2 (and thus diagonally above the 3), then you just subtract 1 from the 2 and the 3, and you see that it's a 1-2-1, which is well-known. also, build up your click speed. When you get really good you'll figure out a speed that works for you, but don't let yourself be limited physically. I used to go up to about 7-8 but now 6 c/s works for me.

Hm, as a first impulse, try flagging less, and if you flag, try placing the flags deeper into the area you want to uncover. At the moment you use a lot of the flags you place only once, try to place them deeper where you'll be able to use them again later. |

I got another sub50 lately, bringing my total up to 3 - the new sub50 is a 38. Also, I got another sup3,6 , a 3,63, my record is at 3,64. I guess I might be due for another phase of improvement... I started writing a minesweeper bio, and I will hopefully get round to a report on the minesweeper course I held a couple of weeks ago. So no, I haven't forgotten :D |

Hello! It's been a long time since I last dropped a message on this guestbook... Great new look and address of your site Damien! I'm really sorry I cannot take care anymore of my site, of AR and bestever. I hope Schu does a good job :-) Maybe one day, when I'll have internet again I'll be able to come back and play again, but it's unlikely. Anyways, have fun and see you later! |

@gergely: i don't mind if we have a break or not...if someone needs a break they can look at other people. if everyone needs a break, we can do something (like bowling!). 3h is good for me...i can't play much longer (sore hand)...after 3h in Vienna I was winning, after 4h Manuel won ![]() @joni: i added a tournament page to minesweeper.info. nice you are back from holiday...i'll send an email about the video pages. @patrick: at the tournaments you have to finish at least a certain number of expert and intermediate games. in budapest the first time it was sum of best 5int and 5exp....in vienna it was 6int and 6exp...in budapest the second time the hungarians did 5&5 and the international players did 6&6. Confusing! I made a column for 5&5 and another for 6&6 so everyone can be compared. |

Hey Patrick, nice to see you around here. :) and grats to your sister, 40s on a touchpad is really good ![]() ![]() Don't know on which particular page you found about the tournaments, but the idea is more or less the following: Several sweepers meet on one day (until now in Vienna or Budapest) play for a few hours (they don't just play and go of course ![]() Everybody's best time in a tournament is recorded for statistical reasons i guess, the sum is the one that really counts... Happy sweeping |

today at 8:00 i got pulled 2 teeth... so i thought its gonna be a bad day... when i came home and went to the irc, my first exp game was 69 on 127 so i gave up exp ;-) when elmar entered, he was making fun of my 334 int games yesterday. then he and rilian placed a bet, that i couldnt do more than 700 int games (which was damiens record afaik) in 12 hours. so o started at 12:00 to play int after 7h 45 min(including 1 hour brake) i got my 700th int game, but i didnt stop ;-) and now, right after 11 hours and 11 minutes i finished my 1000th int game today ;-))) that makes one intgame every 36.6 s ;-) the avrgs suck, but i dont care ;-) im happy ;-) mfg manu ![]() |

I suck at minesweeper but my sister is pretty good at it. She can do 40 sec in intermediate without a mouse on her laptop. She doesn't have a mouse. BTW, can someone explain to me the scores on the tournament results? What is this best scores, sums and 5+5? Sorry, I can't figure them out ![]() |

Thing is, if I had 3 hours I'd use them for playing. And I kind of liked the collective relaxment at the viena tourney... But as I said, it's your decision, if thats the way you wanna do it, go ahead!!! |

Yeah, manus idea sounds like fun! ![]() I'd propose doing that right beore we start to warm up, after the tourney in vienna my right hand was dead, I doubt my style is worth watching after the tournament ![]() How long would you say do we give everyone? I think 5 minutes are probably best, that way, everyone has a decent chance to get into a rythm. Problem is, it costs a lot of time, if ten people play for 5 mins each thats 50 minutes, and if a couple more people come, it could take 1 1/2-2 hours... Maybe on sunday? EDIT: Hm, the VC seemed to approve, if I interprete "YUPP" correctly. I hope we're not taking the fun out of organzing the tourney for you gergely, if you tell me to I'll shut up ![]() |

I forgot, nice job on ms.cc so far! I kinda like the idea with the encoded email adresses, but if the script isn't going to convert them into real messages for sending (I guess, since you would have to check whether they are adresses of IMC members if you want to prevent someone from calling the script with someone elses encrypted email adress and sending emails to anyone he wants to. I can imagine that there might be bots out there that could be able to decrypt the adresses and. Ad anyway, whats wrong with hardcoding the real email adresses and calling the contact page with index.php?page=contact&repicient=name ? An array that contains the names of all the IMC members is written and changed easily, and is safer... |

Grats everyone! ![]() ![]() ![]() Dammit I suck... I only have 2 sub50es ![]() I missed my chance to get a third one today BTW, I blasted 112/130 40est 46 at school today ![]() ![]() I think that might be a sign that I'm starting to improve again though. I got msx over to my windows partition and played a bit of vista - I don't think it's that bad, I got a 15 already, I am yet to sub60 though. And I cant stand it for a long time - well, I guess a lot of my reflexes work best on the skin I train them on. |

Manuel has just broken one of the oldest records. In 2002 I played from 0:00 to 7:00 (no breaks...then I went to eat breakfast) and I made 209 sub20 games (including my second 11 and my first 12). When I made that record, Matt McGinley and I were the only people in the world with more than 100 sub20 games in total. (Now Roman, Elmar, Manu, Damien, Badgers etc all have +4000....I have 6300, so Manu has also become the player with the most total). @zhang: yes |
