I am weeping as i type. I have the worst head cold imaginable. I should be in bed. It's 8pm and the only reason i was sweeping was to fill the time between putting kids to bed and watching NCIS. You will all understand my pain when you watch the my personal record breaking 1st ever sub 60. Vid is in my folder, I am too embarrassed to post the link ![]() |

@Joni: Thanks a lot for your support, but I do not feel that I'm the third. István is at least 3 seconds before me, and I will only feel to be third, if I do a 64 or better. My 67 is not my real knowledge. It is about 73-75. I must prove it to you all, and to myself, that I am able to reproduce that 67, or even to beat it. Nowaday's tries seem to be quite good. Maybe I can reach this year one second development in my sum. My tournament times will be around 575 (5 exp + 5 int) if I do not have a penalty... I think an average of 25 and 90 is the reality in this short time. Every second improvement compared to this sum will be a nice surprise for me. I am looking forward to seeing you all in Vienna. ![]() |

@WEI-CHEN: Welcome to the questbook. That 53 is really fast! (28 and 4 are very slow for a player with a 53 though). By the way, at your link I only see screen shots of your record. To be able to submit records like yours (< 60s) you will have to be able to proof you really are capable of such scores on video as well. You can either record your desktop when playing (with a program like Camtasia Recorder) or much easier: Download and play on Minesweeper Clone (www.minesweeperclone.com). If you can get a score of less than 60s on Minesweeper Clone as well and post the video, I'm sure your 53s record will be added to the ranking as well. ![]() |

Thx for the compliment michael! ![]() The IMC Forum is down because the domain is being moved to a new server, but Martin told me he would fix that soon, so it should be back shortly. I played a bit of minesweeper yesterday after not having played for a while, and got a 45 and a 47 in something like 2h, and its very possible that I will play a lot on my vacation. I will not have internet access for 3 weeks now - so quite possibly, I will flood the GB with new records when I come back ![]() ![]() And of course, for that same reason, happy sweeping in the next 3 weeks! ![]() ![]() |

@Joni: I checked that certain umpteenth (I write it just to memorise ![]() ![]() And back to Minesweeper. After my successful Arbiter introduction I recognised that in exp I am much slower than in Clone (at least 0,3 3BV/s), so I changed back to Clone. I made my second best 3BV/s, a 2,161 on a 213 board in 99,565 (I have 3 sup 2,1), and two other sup 2 games. And I made a sub 80 (79), which is my first 79, and 6. best (and 6. sub 80) on Clone (I have a 77 on MSX, too). It is interestnig that I do not have any of my Clone sub 80s with the same second value (I have 67, 74, 75, 77, 78 and 79...). I must do a sub 80 in Vienna! (I hope to finish 5 exp games there...) |

Thanks guys. My style is quasi-NF I suppose. I'm just not good enough at flagging really - some of the things I've seen in videos of Tommy, Dion, Zhang etc. are mesmerising, I just can't do that. I use a handful of flags each game, in obvious places. My last record was totally NF, which was strange as according to the clone I had only completed about 6 NF games ever. I like this video because of the flowing, sweeping movements down the lines of 1s. I sometimes think of myself as similar in style in Roman, but on a (much) lower level, and I think this video shows that a little. I've always admired the aesthetics of Roman's game, anyway, so hopefully people will agree. ![]() By the way Joni, I don't think I've ever heard the word "umpteenth" from a non-native speaker of English, where on Earth did you hear that? ![]() |

@gergö: i'm sure that you won't need 44x2. on 8x8 beg i have 1.76 and 1.96 but only 19x2 (17 on arbiter, 2 on clone, and maybe some 2s on vienna that i can't find anymore). all you need for a 1s game on beginner is a little bit of skill and a lot of luck to get a very easy beginner board .... and the patience to wait for these boards (i got my first 1s on arbiter after >7500 solved beginner boards and i still haven't gotten a 2 3BV board on arbiter after 9000 solved beg boards). i would use viennasweeper to get a 1 on beginner, because in the first 2 hours i played beg on it i got 2x2 3BV boards (ok, these were also the only ones i have gotten so far). arbiter would also be good for getting easy boards, since it has a feature that allows you to automatically start another board if you blast before having completed a certain percentage of the board (e.g. 10% not solved ->new board). this way one can play many more boards in same time. btw. nice to see that you're back ![]() |

@Gergo: dont worry, I needed 2x44 to get my 1st 1s ![]() ![]() ![]() @all: according to Japanese ranking and some other players, I think that we can be 100% sure that only 5 of 10 current world records are legit: Dion's 37 and my Int NF 10,015s are ok. My 10x10NF proves that my int NF 5,125 NF 3BV/s is ok. My 1x21 and about 50 sup6 NF on Beg proves that my 6,711 NF 3BV/s on Beg is ok. Dion's 5,826 3BV/s on Int is probably ok We cant know if these world records are really world records: My Exp NF 44s - 1 guy from Japanese ranking has 41NF. My Exp NF 3,727 3BV/s - if that guy really has 41NF, he can also have better 3BV/s record than me. Int 10,015s - I still have doubts if Jake's 9 is a fake. Dion's Exp 4,599 3BV/s - I heard that Lasse Nyholm has 1500 sub50, I think he can have better 3BV/s score. My Beg 7,882 3BV/s - when Damien finds 5 minutes free time, he will check if it is a world record ![]() ![]() |

Hey everyone, I'm on vacation, will go to canada very soon and stay there for ~3 weeks, and I won't have internet access there, so I won't be able to do any IMC work there. (Just in case someone wonders why I don't post anything for 3 weeks). Also, I am in boston now for a couple of days - so if there are sweepers in the boston area that have time, we could meet up, just write me an email (thomaskolar90 [ -at- ] gmail.com or below). Would be fun! ![]() ![]() ![]() @manu, the IMC forum is the place to put any suggestions to the IMC (If stuff is only posted here, it will be lost for anyone doing a general search on that topic later).

@Kamil: It was something like 125, so far above our minimum. Also the 2nd best 10s (10,8) of him is >=30 3BV, so that would also be a valid 10s. Off course I would still like to see vids of these guys. I bet many of those players are genuine and would be a nice addition to our ranking when they demonstrate on a version like Clone/arbiter that they can reproduce their times on any Clone. |

( http://www.softama.com/mine/rank.php ) has anyone tried to contact some ppl listed there ? the first one there seems to have played a 40,203 (+1) NF exp , that would be a world record if the scores are accepted, and i think they not only play on this site and may have some (maybe valid) scores on other versions.... mfg |

Hi all, I'm kinda "back". Come on, let's all go to Vienna! :P By the way, Christoph, the code for Malaysia is MAS and not MAL ;) (I guess MAL's taken by another country, but I don't know which :P) |

By the way, I won't be going myself, since I really quit minesweeper 11 days ago, so during the WC I probably haven't for 3 months and I don't think my friends and family would trust me anymore when I told them last month I finally quit playing and go to Vienna 3 months later for the WC of minesweeper. ![]() |

Yes, I plan to visit Vienna competition, as I haven't been in Western Europe yet, and this would be a fair competition and a funny meeting, I hope. In the week following the tournament the education begins in the University, so I can stay only until about sunday noon (Debrecen is about 6-7 hours with train from Vienna...), but I will surely be able to get to Vienna on thursday afterrnoon (it depends on the costs of the accomodation...), if anybody will be there except me... That camping possibility is not a bad idea, as it would be much cheaper... I must develop a lot until Vienna... Yesterday I made two 20,1xx NF int... |

beside the usual suspects listed there (and the ever present Farniks) ... i remember Gergö and Tibor were quite eager to take part too... and Lukasz was very pleased last time around, so he would be glad to join... although we haven't heard from him in a while. Nice to see the russians will be represented too by Arsen (i think Rogen was quite reluctant of coming, though hopefully knowing Elmar will be there he might change his mind ![]() ![]() Thinking about Visas and sponsorships Zhang and Bertie come to mind... how does it look for you guys? Zhang, you have a great chance with Manu probably not being able to defend his title ![]() ![]() It will of course be nice to have more people from the community partecipating like Ronny just to name one ![]() I will start working in September and I don't have a clear picture about it yet, nor about my financial situation until then ![]() ![]() I had totally missed the site on .cc btw... MINESWEEPER WC is written with huge letters on the first page but the link to the page itself it's quite easy to miss. |

Elmar, the price with Easyjet includes return flights...I should have said this clearly. And Christoph is right - it is often cheaper to fly to Bratislava (two other cheap airlines are Wizzair and SkyEurope). I was going to do this for Vienna2006, but made the mistake of taking a really cheap flight to Warsaw...and taking a 15h bus ride to Vienna. Never again! Christoph, we're all looking forward to hearing more details soon - I'll start sending emails as soon as you get more info posted. I see there are 5 registered players on CC....although I heard a rumour that Arsen has bought tickets. I'm still hoping to come, but I am starting university soon and might not have time (or money - my application next week to stay in Britain costs 950 GBP). I've asked permission to work extra hours this summer. |

@Elmar: With Austrian Airlines (aua.at) there are some redtickets left from LHR to VIE for EUR 65,80. For the return there are redtickets for EUR 80,50 unless you want to stay till the 24th when there are still flights for EUR 54,80. But you'd need to book soon otherwise the redtickets will be gone and you need to go normal price (127 LHR-VIE, 116 VIE-LHR). If you find cheaper tickets to Bratislava that would be fine as well - from there you reach vienna south station within an hour. |

Yesterday I played some beg, and I made a 3BV/s record of 3,779 on a 26 board in 7,881. My previous record was 3,652. My total 3BV/s is sup 9!!! : 3,779 + 2,935 + 2,320 = 9,034. On int I made another sub 20 (a 19), which was my 7. sub 20, and I always blast est sub 80s on exp. Nowadays I tend to believe that my 67 is not unbeatable... |

My old one was bought in August 2000...rotfl. Hopefully it will only take a week or so to start updating again. Last week I wasted 3h every day travelling to work in Glasgow, but I will have more time to sort this out this week. Ciao |

I always thought the minesweeper community were mainly computers geeks that break and fix PC's for fun and download their software for free. Me bad. I wonder how many billions are wasted every year do to those viruses that cause software problems and eventually makes people so desperate that they buy new hardware instead of fixing the software. Good luck Damien. ![]() |
