When an uncovered square with a number has exactly the correct number of adjacent squares flagged, performing a click with both mouse buttons on it will uncover all unmarked squares; This is called a Chord.
It is a basic technique that allows players to clear squares using flags, and the reason why flagging styles are often more efficient than non-flagging ones.
Using the middle mouse button will also cause a chord.
Usually, chords are performed as 1.5 clicks.
