@kamil: the time trial option in viennasweeper is the same which was used in last year#s vienna tournament (15beg 6int 2exp). on arbiter and clone you can't stop the time like that (at least it isn't that easy).

just got a 1.766 on 3BV=2 beginner on viennasweeper.

@christoph: viennasweeper worked great so far. only 2 things that are a little strange:
while replaying a finished board the clicks/second counters stay at 0.00 and
it would be nice if the replay files were named realtime+1 (i'm simply not used to that so far).

i really like the 10beg and time-trial option .

you did some great programming work with vienna sweeper, christoph. not just because of my 1.766 i hope that viennasweeper will be accepted for records.

I just uploaded a beta test version of Vienna Sweeper. It's a very basic version that supports not really anything else than playing and videos.
However - it would be great to get some comments on these basic things. I plan to add some history tools somewhen later but first I'm gonna get some sleep

Ive just decided to stop playing Minesweeper so much I understood that it's not good to waste 5 hours/day just to see lower number on a timer once a 1-3 months. Im going to play some other games now (Evil Islands, Commandos, and DF:BHF with Ronny ) Btw, I think that I won't beat my 10,015 or 4,974 on int , now I will play only about 3hours/week @ school and maybe few hours on weekends on exp
@Damien: During your weekend I got a lot of records, I will send u all vids with dates in email, I think 29 March.

@Ronny: Try this method: Modify your purposes to similar ones: "At this session I should finish as many exp games, as possible" or "If I get below 90, it's good" or "if my speed exceeds 1,8 3BV/s, it's ok". When you finish a game with these criteria, it will give you a kind of success emotion, and helps you to be motivated. Nowadays I sit down to play with the aim: I should finish a game below 85 or below 22. Try this method, and it may work. And never forget, if you buy a ticket, you can get on the train with that donkey, as well . We try to help you in whatever we can

@Gergő: You seem to be on a fast train and I'm on a donkey right now. It's indeed not so strange that that with your NF 3BV/s you should get a 10% faster NF expert time than mine, so a low 70 would be normal and high 60 would only need some luck, but would still not be extremely lucky.

BTW, I haven't solved an expert board since my 79. I sort of lost the will to play a lot and improve since I'm world ranked.

Comments:  

Thank you, guys for your trust and your support. I uploaded the video of my 67, together with the previous NF exp 82 record into the Records folder, and the new NF 3BV/s records on both exp and int into the NF folder. So I try to develop and prove to you and to myself that I'm a good player. Besides, on int the same happened to me. When I made my WR, my record fell down from 21,246 to 17,770 and afterwards to a 16,574. Due to these two (and not only one) times helped me to think that I deserved these scores. Since then I haven't had a sub 20, only another 21, but I improved in 3BV/s on all boards. On exp NF I have four sup 2 3BV/s-s up to now.

grats again for the honesty.

in this period i've no time to play and try to answer your records...

Gergö it is absolutely normal to make a big jump when you are around those times! It has happened to me and most of the people I know , and I wouldn't be surprised if Ronny followed suit soon . Big grats for your game , just have some more self-confidence and you will beat that time again much sooner than you think.

@Kamil: despite all, you can even be funny at times. Elmar really has to read that

@Kamil: Not bad, I've solved only 6 sub140 boards in 6 months.

Try playing some sub140 boards in cheat mode, record them with Camtasia and analyze how you blast them...if it's mainly forced guesses, then you can't help it. If it are unforced guesses, you might take too much risk with calculated guesses (for example 75%-25% guesses often work out bad on low 3BV boards). If it are pattern errors, you might need to work on you high mine density patterns (3's,4's,5's,6's)

Yesterday I played some Exp NF and got 52, 53x2 and 54, all on sup150 3bv boards. Ive noticed that in last 2 weeks I solved only 1 sub140 3bv board (in 50). Probably something is wrong in my technique

I agree with Christoph. The system he invented is very very smart. I support the use of this system at the future championships. (even if I don't participate, i still support it )
However, last night made me think...
After winning the first beginner session, and finishing my first expert board in over 2 years (and not really a bad one, 75 or 76), I'm thinking of seriously starting to play again.
Plus I made new friends last night. Me happy

Tommy, Traian, Andi and I did meet together today and played the austrian winter championship. We tried a new tournament system. In short words: We played some short sessions. After each points were distributed over the players (in four categories). Step by step the ones with the viewest points droped out til we had a winner:
Tommy is again austrian minesweeper champion.
2nd Christoph Nikolaus
3rd Traian Nitu
4th Andreas Marx

I very much fancy this system to be played at the world championship - we all enjoyed it very much and it has a lot of good sideeffect.
However I'll write more about it whem I'm less tired.

@Gergő: To be honest, I'm 99% sure I'll stop sweeping months before the event, because I feel that playing minesweeper is already giving me hand/neck/shoulder problems again (like it also did in 2003) and if that gets too bad it can cost me my job, because I also need to work with computers 8 hours per day (I'm a programmer). So, I simply don't want to risk that for a computer game, even not for a fun game like minesweeper. With other words, only if I'll be stupid enough to still play sweeper around September, I might visit Vienna, but if I have already quit I won't come, because I know I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to start playing again........once a minesweeper addict, always a minesweeper addict.

@Ronny: Once I should reach that 67, but it can take years. Now I aim to get as many sub 80, as possible, since I have only one (or two, if I consider this 67 . But this 82 and th blasted sub80s projects the fact of development.
What about Vienna? Will you come? It would be great! We can drink some beers

@Gergő: Wow at the 67! That really must have been an insane 114 3BV board and I understand it when you say that you don't want to accept it as your PB. Back in 2003 I had a 94s record and improved it to 81s on an insanely easy board (I can now solve it sub70 as well). Despite the fact that I liked it a lot when I got it, it also was the last minesweeper game that I played till 2007, because the gap was so extremely demotivating that I didn't even bother trying and break it.

@Kamil: Luckily, you aren't (yet ) twice as fast, as me . That would be a fantastic speed. 7,292-5,480-4,156... You need about 0,5 3BV/s development on each level. But I developed 0,45 3BV/s sum in two weeks. I think, this is quite good at my level. Besides, the player videos does not work here either...

@Ronny: I should have seen you... But I would like to see you once, e.g. in Vienna, so you should begin to save money for the travelling . We must celebrate our WRs together . My blasted NF exp 3BV/s -s are sometimes as fast as 2,1xx... My best 3BV/s-s are now 3,646-2,740-2,078, sum: 8,464. I will check the IOSs and RQPs tonight. I do not know these indices at Fl, as since I have Clone I play only NF...
@Tibor: Keep on developing, as I improved to 2,740 3BV/s on NF int .
@Kamil: I can imagine you with a higher NF int 3BV/s than your NF beg 3BV/s... Lot of grats, of course
@all: Locomotive is rushing towards. (The football team of my city, Debrecen, is called Loki, originating from the locomotive...). I improved my NF exp 3BV/s record. 2,078 on a 207 board in 100,628. It was an IOS record with a 1,15892, as well (Ronny, ). The previous records were 2,019 and 1,15668. Then I did an NF time record with 82,843 on a 136 board, beating my previous 84,272 on a 149 board. I did a 83,0xx, too. Record videos are in my folder.
Besides, yesterday I solved the easiest expert board I've ever met. A 114 board without a guess! Kamil, you would surely solve it in 35 seconds... And the time was a great-big surprise: a wonderful record, a 67,178 !!! When I looked at the timer at the end I hardly believed it... Instead of the minutes-long-dance and howling I began to think. I will never have such a good time. At least, this year surely not. And I know it well, that I am far not as good player as this time is. And this time would not be fair in the community, I think. So, I decided that despite my 67 exp, I consider my records 2-16-77, and my NF exp best 82. So, please, look at me as a player with 95 sum. Thank you, guys.

@Gergő: I've attached an overview of all my records, including IOS and RQP. How do these compare to your NF and Flag records? I guess they will be pretty similar.

@Kamil: Lol, still a nice score though. By the way, can you slow down a little. I don't want to be more than 2x as slow as the World record...that would make me feel old and rusty.

I see you currently beat all my NF 3bv/s records, so I'll try to work on that a little now, because for some weird reason I'm still stuck on NF 1,822 on expert while 80% of the boards I blast in the end are faster that. I even blasted a 2,1 with 10 squares to go, so I must be able to get a sup2 like you as well one day. Good luck on getting your NF sum below 100.

NF exp time record 84,272 on a 149 board. It took me 3 seconds to find the last square... Previous: 84,530 on a 142 board.
Ronny, I must reach you in NF, as you are 5 seconds better on exp, but I have already blasted some sub 80s at some clicks before the end... Just let's keep coevolution.

It was slow, it was ugly, it had 3 guesses BUT it was also...enough to get Word Ranked.

My (Dutch) total: NF 2,377 + NF 18,969 + NF 79,766 = 99

Today I found out that my mouse path was very inefficient on many patterns. As a result of this I already got 87->83 early this morning. Tonight I even almost got a sub80 hops on a 3BV=169!!! and 20 seconds before midnight it finally resulted in my first sub80 with this very very low and slow 116 3BV board.

Comments:  

Definitely the most unexpected record so far. Tonight I was getting so frustrated of having blasted over 50 boards with >60% solved without solving 1. Therefor I decided that I needed a record to ease my mind and so I choose the easiest one: my NF IOE on intermediate. Having done that in about 10 minutes, I was thinking....let's do the same on expert. 10 minutes later I got a pop-up and so I thought I must have had broken my IOE record on expert. To my surprise the pop-up said I had broken my Time and RQP record instead. Really strange because I was only concentrating on having full control and not blasting and not 1 second on my speed .

As a bonus my non-flag sum (1+18+83) is now better than my flag sum (3+21+80), so I'm officially a non-flagger now.

I hadn't played Intermediate for about 2 months but decided to warm-up for expert for 5 minutes on intermediate tonight.

Within 3 minutes I broke both my intermediate overall IOS and RQP records.
FL IOS=1,30013 -> NF IOS=1,30556
FL RQP=8,923 -> NF RQP=8,41
Time=21,014 (3BV=50, overall 2nd best time)

Funny how I spend dozens of hours of playing intermediate to get those records and now break them within 5 minutes.

Maybe, I should try to get that 17s instead of sub80 on expert.

Yeah, guessing sucks. I almost never finish boards with a good time in which I had to guess. Even if I guess right, it slows me down afterwards and it ruins my concentration.

less 3bv = more mines next to each other, so more guessings. That's why I never solved sub120 3bv board ( 1 time I made mistake 116/117 @ 49NF, but it doesnt change the fact that these boards are really hard to solve). The easiest board ever what I saw, was 105 3BV solved in 21s in UPK by Manu, after 3 times watched I got 37NF 1st try in UPK

@Kamil: Problem with low 3BV boards is that you have to change gear constantly, which ruins you 3BV/s. If I look at your vids, you're doing best on boards where you can move with a constant speed and those boards normally have >160 3BV.

Haha, -14s would be a little too much improvement in 1 game, I quess.

BTW, the ending wasn't possible without 2 guesses and I had already lost 5 extra seconds between 131 and 132 hoping to find an opening in the impossible maze.

Anyway, I does show I can potentially get a sub80 with a little more luck in the end.

@Ryan: i didn't mean to impose anything on you i apologize if it sounded a bit like that . I just wanted to play the "normal way". (the "start with an opening" option doesn't bother me for example... i simply choose not to use it)

KAmil, welcome to Rilianworld!! Btw Elmar that is an interesting topic Rilian's genius brings up... how do you know which is the correct time? or the correct way to round a minesweeper time for that matter?

IMHO the correct way would be truncation... i.e. if someone finishes a game at 51.9 (clone time) he/she finished it in the 51st second,then the score should be 51. If one finishes a game at 52.0 (clone time), it was finished in the 52nd second, hence the score 52. That would be true for any (sensed) number of nines ... for example 51.999999 (if one hypotetically could measure time with that accuracy) would still be a 51 since the 51st second it's not over yet... how does the clone react in such cases?

Hi Joni: I can imagine the problems for people who have developed such styles. I think the game should at least have enough options to allow it to emulate the way that the original minesweeper works, but then also have other options - I'm not too afraid of diversity ;-)

Yesterday I played some beg games (thanks to Kamil , as I had only half an hour free time. I did well, as I broke my 3BV/s record twice. My previous record was 3,420. First, I made a 3,490 on a 27 board in 8,736, and second, a 3,646 on a 21 board in 6,759. My 3BV/s sum is now 8,385. It was 8,01x one week before...

nice to hear you're going back home a bit more often damien . I haven't been home in over a year :/

@ryan/hi-games: the fact that the squares open on the `button push' instead of the `button release' is quite irritating ... people have developped their styles of play based on that (see Jon Simonsen for example)... i think your game should comply too.

grats to the people making the world rankings

@ronny: try playing not thinking about finishing games or anything related to minesweeper... just relax and let your thoughts wander freely... I feel it has a stress relieving effect (if you don't abuse with it ) and you might finish some nice games when you least expect it.

best of luck!

hi kamil...just want to remind you that 0.34 is a cheat version of MSX and is not an official version. curtis still has it on his site because it was the first version he released (before he came to this website and realised it was cheating).

btw, curtis noticed the timer was a little different on MSX 0.34 about a week after he announced it in the guestbook 4 years ago.

@Tibor: I do not have the chance to reach your 75 exp. First of all I must learn how to flag, and shouldn't forget NF style, at least on int. It would be very hard. I think, with NF it would be much harder to get sub 70 due to the higher probability of misclicks. I must work very hard to improve, as now expert comes...
@Ronny: Never mind! Remember that I was not able to beat my 21 for a long time, and some days it seem that I will never be WR. Just play, and the day (and the board) will come soon, when you will be much better than before. If somebody said that I would reach 16s on int in few days, I would surely consider him as a mad, or as a drunk... And you know that I predicted the co-evolution , so I would like you to join to the WR soon.
@Kamil: I couldn't find words about your speed... Once one single day will come, when you won't beat a 3BV/s world record, only on the following day...

@Gergő: Big congrats on your World ranking. I knew you would beat me to it.

I wish I could say the same, but I almost haven't been able to improve at all over the last 4 weeks. I was fast on Saturday and started to get good hopes, but on Sunday i was 0,3 3BV/s slower on every single map again. And I still only solve 1 board per 3 hours, so that doesn't help either.
