I actually had no idea how to play Minesweeper and just by watching this video I was able to beat an 9x9 board for the first time in like 25 years lol. Now I just need to learn the basic rules of Solitaire...
Probably my favorite pattern is the new 1-1 that shows up at 13:33. The top 1 says there's one in 2 cells, and the bottom says there's one in 5, so the bottom 3 are free. Often there's another 1, so you get a nice 2x3 behind a wall of pairs. That and solving an apparent corner 2x2 50-50 with a mine count of 1.
Thank you so much. A game I play is having an event that requires you to play minesweeper and I'm notoriously awful at it, so this has been amazingly helpful!!!
I am a minesweeper professional. I do not show my scores online. But this totorial got me really good and got my best run at 36 seconds 9x10 board. Corner ones are ez tho. If any of you see this. Keep going you will prefect this classic.
I learned how to play mine sweeper on my own. Trial and error, learning how some of the patterns work on my own. I just randomly figured out how to play in class one day, and when anyone sees me play I have to explain to them. It’s 2023. I didn’t know how mine sweeper worked back then so I understand, but explaining it over and over sucks 😭
Thanks for the patterns at 14:15 !! I've actually gotten sub 3 mins on Expert, aiming for sub2, and I never knew half of those patterns ;-; kinda insane, will definitely spend more time looking for patterns now
Is there like an offline version of/alternative to World of Minesweeper? The closest I've found is Simon Tatham's version, but there's still luck involved on that sometimes.
From what I know, there should never be luck involved in Simon Tatham's version. If you're looking for an offline PC alternative, arbiter is the most used original minesweeper clone, from what I know (Although missing some quality of life stuff IMO). If you're looking for no guess, I'm not sure for PC. There's a couple of mobile apps that you can get to play offline and with no guess, if that interests you
You want to find an opening to start the game, which means all of the surrounding cells have to be a non-mine. Clicking in the corner means there's only 3 chances to be a mine, compared to clicking in the middle for example where there would be 8
As a minesweeper enjoyer and holder of a 29 second normal run in the google version, I can say that if you want to speed run this game to any capacity, sometimes luck is unavoidable as otherwise you would spend too much time figuring out logic. It’s rough, but that’s just the minesweeper life.
Watching the first beginner game and cringing at the inefficient moves and wasted clicks but obviously it's not something that a new player should be expected to worry about. Going over tips for efficiency like that would probably be a good topic for a video aimed at intermediate/advanced players.
Figuring out patterns by yourself is one of the most satisfying things in the game

Don’t care that this is a few years old, I just want to thank you for expanding my mind with the reduction method
respect for my dude winning in exactly 420 seconds
Imagine if he was a horrible human being. Still "respect"?
@@IVeryMuchHateRUclipsHandleswhat does that have to do with anything, i wrote this a year ago
Agreeing with OP, but some people do mindlessly say "respect to (insert person) for (insert horrible thing)"

thank you man I just beat my first minesweeper game just using your advice and strategies now I can pass the time with minesweeper
This video randomly popped up on my recommendations... Always wanted to learn how to play this, very nice explanation... Now will play this...
i had no idea chording exists until i see minesweeper speedruns

correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t profesional have a sub 5 second run as his best on a 9x10 board?
@@pukkss It is a stupid troll
@@pukkss I have a feeling he just means he's decent at the game, anyone with world record potential probably wouldn't be watching a video like that
9x10 is barely bigger than a beginner game
and i have a 5 sec beginer game
Woah, using reduction finally makes expert possible, thank you so much
Just want to get better at minesweeper recently and stumbled upon your channel. Love your video mate!!
I've been playing this game for years and never knew about chording. You learn something new every day.

Bro I freaking love minesweeper. There was like a whole month in my life where I could literally only think of minesweeper
Thanks a lot man. I watched a few tutorials but none as detailed and comprehensive as yours.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I SERIOUSLY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND ANY OTHER TUTORIAL-

Dude, CHORDING IS SO OP, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE WITH IT
There is times where I just chord into a bomb I'm not doing this right am I.
10:35 perfect time
Hey if I’m not mistaken is the background in the video the cover for Vessels 2.0 by Starset?
Yessir
Dude that’s awesome, also props for replying to comments on a 2 year old video lol
plot twist: he timed it 10:27 420 :)
Thanks for this, ive won 3 rounds since ive watched this (before i watched i never won)
Hardly related, but isn't the background your using the album art for Starset's Vessels 2.0?
Yessir
@@DardHong Good taste!
i slowly understood but i still gotta learn
Wow helped me!🎉
Yay

10:20 420 SECONDS NO WAY
2:00 Why are the corners better? Is there a statistical reasoning behind it?
You want to find an opening to start the game, which means all of the surrounding cells have to be a non-mine. Clicking in the corner means there's only 3 chances to be a mine, compared to clicking in the middle for example where there would be 8
Hey, Have you tried the game called Demoncrawl..? Its an roguelite minesweeper game.. and I'm addicted to it.
nice vid
I watched one tutorial
Forgot about it and then out of nothing i realized minesweeper was easy

ty so much
How can one minimize the occurance of 50/50s on expert?
Just a question, why world of minesweeper changed to minesweeper online?
my fav pattern is any number in corners, so that there's 1 guaranteed mine.
i got 32s, thank you :D
Me getting distracted by the vessels 2.0 cover in the background
im high as fuck and having the giggles of my life rn
The sacred texts!
What do the 2s represent?
1 = 1 mine in any of the squares around it, 2 = 2 mines in any of the squares around it, etc
@@DardHong thanks, its a pretty hard game ngl
Anyone gonna talk about the time on the second game?
Imagine getting an 8 on your first game
somewhere, sometime, someone has probably got a 8 in their first game
ohk
thank you so much im a pro? now

I figured how yo play myself.
Chording is much easier if you have a mouse, rather than one of those touch pad things that many laptops have
True

Hi xilef
Brainpower
if you don't watch this at 144p, you aren't a chad
i play a modernized version of minesweeper on android
Huh, this game is supprisingly similar to hexcells
Hexcells is inspired by minesweeper
I managed to lose on the first click
im surprised that people still play minesweeper
first easy ever in 111
I always thought it was a guessing game 😢
Lol i got 2 glitches under 5 minutes in that game)
I’m so confused on what your going at
Same
its really the best learning it yourself. it gets easier the more you play
5 mins into the video, and I cant understand anymore. I don't want to learn this I would simply just learn Sudoku.
i finished beginner at 16 sec haha
I did it in 145 seconds huh
That inefficient chording makes me cringe LOL
I got a 48 seconds timer thanks to this video. I used google minesweeper tho.
Nevermind, got a 10 second timer btw it was on easy mode
Minesweeper is harder than chess
me : this is too hard let me just mark EVERY SINGLE TILE
