The Chord Cup and Minesweeper Royale

After the official MSWCH had ended, they continued with the Chord Cup. As mentioned in the previous post, it was new to me.

So here’s what I learned: Chord Cup is a 1vs1 elimination Minesweeper competition where players race to solve a series of Minesweeper boards faster than their opponent. The series of boards are identical for both players, and they are all no-guess boards. Each board has a starting point indicated to the players, so that the competition is fair with neither player needing to make any guesses. (Because depending on where you start a board, you might or might not have to guess.)

I snapped a few photos while they were playing. 

solving the same boards

this was the finals; it's neck and neck!

this is a case where the two players were on different boards, because either one of them was one board (or more) faster, or someone had blasted a board (if we blast a board, we move to the next board)

Here are a couple of videos where you can see the players in action.

Halfway through the Chord Cup, we had a late tea break (merienda in Spanish). I snapped a quick discreet photo of the food they had prepared.

fruit, bread (soft baguette-like slices that are used for canapes), ham, cheese (I think), guacamole, potato chips, and maybe some stuff I don't remember

After the tea break and the finals of the Chord Cup, we had the prize presentation.

joined by his co-organize, who is actually from Madrid

The next day, we had the Minesweeper Royale.

We played this on minesweeper.online, which seems to be where most people play these days (not on their personal computer). We would play whatever boards we wanted, and the scores (and stats) would be logged. Then we would see our best scores in each category like speed, efficiency, win streak, and density. On the official website for MSWCH 2025, you can see two other categories which are arena and mobile. I can’t remember what arena was, but the other is where you play on a mobile device instead of using a mouse on PC.

I did not take part in the Chord Cup, but I did participate in the Minesweeper Royale. I knew my speed would not be up to par, so I just tried to play for efficiency.

You know what? I believe I was the one who kickstarted the interest in efficiency, because for the longest time I had been trying to minimize the number of clicks I used, and use flags as efficiently as possible (only place flags when I need them for double-clicking). Indirectly, using less clicks also means we can move faster, right? I remember feeling extremely accomplished the first time I managed to finish a board using fewer clicks than its 3bv (the 3bv of a board is the minimum number of left-clicks needed to finish the board). After I shared that, interest in efficiency started and the IOE (index of efficiency) was added to the Minesweeper stats.

Anyway, I was no match for these new players who seemed to have been working on efficiency since they started playing. Damien Moore (our veteran and owner of the Authoritative Mineweeper website) was at the session and was also playing for efficiency, but he fared just a little better than me.

initial ranking at 3rd place (because no one had started for efficiency yet? :P )

Note that the prizes for Minesweeper Royale are cryptocurrency. First three spots in each category win some money!

But of course my ranking had dropped by the time the tournament ended.

12th place, with Damien right above me

A newer player had shared with us the previous day that there were modes on their new websites to allow practising for efficiency. It seems that it is easier to get better efficiency scores on denser boards, so the algorithm would only generate higher density boards when they were practising for efficiency. (Note: In these situations where boards are not generated fully randomly, I think high scores are not valid for true rankings.) Then while playing normally, they would be able to recognize which boards they might play more slowly on to optimize efficiency, and which boards they should speed up on to play for time.

It is worth mentioning that there were three or four website developers at the event…they had great discussions about website design and maintenance, while I mostly listened in. 

The organizers printed a t-shirt for the event, and I bought one for 12€.

They also printed a bunch of stickers. They said they had estimated that each person could have 5 of each sticker. I wasn't going to take so many at the beginning, but then I thought it might be a good souvenir/advertisement back in Malaysia, so I took my allocation (what would they do with the leftovers anyway?) and offered the excess to the people at work.

Props to those who designed these...I like some of them more than others, but they all look pretty good and professional.

The Minesweeper World Championships 2025

I’m writing about this almost a whole year after the event…the championships were held on the 27th and 28th of September last year.

It was the whole reason why I planned a trip to Portugal and Spain, ticking off Portugal from my bucket list, and postponing Japan which was previously the next place I had planned to visit.

Since I was practically retired from Minesweeper by then, just playing a few games every month, there was not much to hope for in terms of results. I was there to play and have fun.

The scene has changed a lot since years back when I was an active player. We used to simply have one event where we would play and have our final scores tabulated to see who scored the fastest times out of a certain number of games. This time, they still had that, which was the “official” Minesweeper World Championships (MSWCH), but they had side events like Chord Cup and Minesweeper Royale, both of which I had never heard of before.

The event was held at 42 Madrid. They had tight security; we registered with our passport and even went through a bag scan before being allowed to enter with an access card.

setting up my mouse

I brought a mousepad, but theirs seemed fine...maybe because I am no longer an active player; it doesn't make much difference. :P 

ready to play!

(See all those additional icons on the screen after setting up? :P )

I took a few photos of the rankings after finishing some games, to see what the highest point was. (I knew my ranking would drop once everyone started completing all the necessary games…) My highest ranking was 17, right after finishing all the intermediates and one expert. 

my high scores of the day

Here are the final results after the session ended:

our organizer and old-timer Thomas Kolar was at 2nd place!

Everyone else before number 15th (Damien) were newer players that I didn't know.

I came in at number 39

there were a total of 47 players

For old times' sake, we actually took a photo with all the old-timers.

the only people I knew there; from left (after me): Damien, Tommy, Eduard, and Stevan

We had all met each other before, except for Stevan whom we were all meeting for the first time. He had been on the scene but never managed to make it to a physical meet.

When we arrived at the event, we were given different-coloured wristbands to indicate whether we allowed others to photograph us, whether we wanted them to ask for permission first, and a few other indicators that I don’t remember. Anyway, because of this, I won’t post general photos of the room, because I don’t know whether the face of someone who doesn’t want to be photographed might be clear enough in them. 

Since this post is getting long, I'll continue about the side events in a separate post.

Revamped top score pages

After another four years, I checked the world Minesweeper rankings again.

This was triggered by the upcoming Minesweeper World Championship in September, though I won’t go into that now.

It seems like the official site has changed; here you can check the world rankings and country rankings.

I am glad to announce that I am still Malaysian number one. A number of new scores were added up till 2023, making the number of ranked Malaysians go up to 29 players. The highest-ranked new player is at number 10. Since the list is longer now, I shall only capture the screenshot up to the top ten. :P 

They also updated the profile page, so I can now easily see my world and country rankings on the same page. 

It seems they also added 3BVS (3bv per second), IOE (index of efficiency), and density rankings...which I have never submitted anything for. Pity they didn't have IOE before...I would have loved to challenge myself on that. Now I don't have the time to play so much any more...so I shouldn't start trying. :P

The goal from March 2021 is still ongoing, by the way...and I have been more or less achieving the goal of playing every month. It has happened that I missed playing in a month, but then I make it up in the next calendar month by playing more. Good enough for me!

An interesting minesweeping day

Today I did my Minesweeper dose of the month (the challenge of finishing at least one board per level per calendar month is still ongoing).

There were a few notable boards this time, so I shall keep them here: After getting my basic three boards done (one on each level), I was attempting a second expert when I blasted a board with a 7 on a 50-50. 

After that, there was a board with an 8, which I didn't manage to uncover. Here, I kick myself for not noticing that it could be an 8 and attempt that square. And also, I should have first attempted the actual 50-50 beside it, while hoping that the 3×3 block were all mines.

While finishing up with beginner, I somehow managed 3s on a really easy board. (I forgot to move the stats window onto the main window when taking the screenshot… :( )

All in all, not a bad day's work, with pretty decent intermediate (sub-30!) and expert (sub-100!) scores too.

all of today's scores; just fitting into the stats window

P.S.: And while I'm posting, here's a nice beginner board that I got back in March, with a 5! And I managed to finish it in 3 seconds too.

(had been keeping the screenshot on my desktop, so now I can finally delete it after uploading it! :P )

A minesweeping update!

In March 2021 I downloaded ViennaSweeper to my new laptop.

In this last month of 2022, I am glad to say that I have managed to achieve my goal of finishing at least one game in each level every month since then. Here's to a similar goal in 2023!

Rare number spotted!

After starting to play again the other day, I set myself a goal to finish at least one beginner, one intermediate, and one expert every month. Since it's April already, I set out to achieve that goal... and of course I played on. Found an 8 in intermediate and a 7 in expert. 

I was glad to get another 20 on intermediate, and several sub-100s on expert. On beginner, I got a 3, which was pretty good too. Now bad for a day's work!

So close and yet so far

I don't really like beginner level, but I've been playing it once in a while in the hopes of getting a 1-second record. (have I said that before? :P )

That didn't exactly happen, but I got a new record after 15 years! (see the last record here) 

That was 1.20 seconds...and this new one is 1.08 seconds. (1.087 seconds if I look at the title of the saved video)

So I still don't have a 1-second record... (1.xx is considered 2 seconds in original Minesweeper, because you can't get a 0 time.)

The 3bv is 3... meaning that 3 clicks is the minimum to solve the board. I used 4 clicks... the extra one wasted when starting the game.

I'll need to find out how to convert the video to a "normal" format before I can upload it to Youtube!

And by the way, in these two days, my scores are now 2-20-77. I am glad to announce that I am back to "pro" level, aka with a total of less than a 100. I was surprised to discover that I'm at 99, just under a hundred!

Edit: Video uploaded to Youtube:

A complete expert

And I did it!

Just two posts earlier (and a few hours ago), I said that I wanted to complete one expert game...and here it is!

The 7 was my second-last click. When I was working on the top-right corner, I was already slowing down and being careful...I thought the 7 was the last square and glanced up to the counter and saw it at 107.x. But then I spent another 20 seconds looking for the last square, which was the 4 on the 6th row, 9th column. Well, it wouldn't have been a record anyway, and I should be glad that my time could have been only about double my record, instead of triple or quadruple :P 

Edit: After playing a bit more, now my scores for today are 3-22-90. I'm especially happy that I managed to get sub-100 in expert.

Sweeping again

So this is what retirement is like... my Minesweeper posts are now spaced out longer and longer between each other!

My last post was almost four years ago, where I checked whether I was still the first-ranked Malaysian.

So, true to tradition, here's an update on that.

I'm still the first! :D

Six players were added to the rankings in 2019 and 2020. Most of them were tagged on at the bottom, but one made it to 9th place!

I have changed my laptop since I last played, so I downloaded ViennaSweeper and played a bit. (I used to play on Minesweeper Clone, but it has a bug and its scores are not accepted for rankings any more. I didn't bother changing when I was still on my old laptop, since I didn't think I would beat my old times anyway, but since I'm installing a fresh version, I might as well get one that's certified!) 

My best scores today were 6 in beginner and 24 in intermediate... rounded up of course, to match "original" Minesweeper times. That's about triple and double my best times... I didn't manage to finish an expert game because I kept blasting mines due to unforced guesses (bad habit, trying to be lucky instead of taking a safer route) and misclicks (my mouse ran away where I didn't tell it to go! :P )

I sort of want to just finish one expert game (will need to play it safe); I wonder whether it will be triple or quadruple my best time...

A sweeping update

So recently I've been picking up my mouse and playing a little Minesweeper again... tonight I got two 21s and two 20s on intermediate, which makes me pretty happy. I played a little beginner too, nothing too good today, but no expert, because my expert scores are really kinda depressing :P

Anyway, I took another look at the country rankings.

There are two new players since I last checked; at no. 9 and no. 15. No new scores from any of the others.

World Championship - the aftermath

Well... as I mentioned in my previous post, I participated in the 2015 Minesweeper World Championship - online. I managed to attain my goal (5 intermediates under 25 and 5 experts under 90) within the first hour, so I next tried to get all my experts under 85. I still had two expert games at 86 and 87 when I scored a 76. I was so happy because it has been ages since I got a sub-80 in expert (sad but true). (Oh, and there's a 79 in the scoreboard that I scored earlier, but that doesn't really count because these scores are "realtime" so that is actually an 80, yadda yadda) I didn't even realise when I scored the 83 that bumped my 86 off the scoreboard... which is weird because I was waiting for a sub-85. How could I not notice? Maybe I saw it as 88 instead? Anyway, I checked the time (we can see the details of the uploaded scores) and it turns out that 83 was scored about 15 minutes before the end of the tournament. Just in time...

All in all, my scores this time round are better than the previous tournament, if you look at the intermediate and expert times (it's a slightly different format, so we can't go by total score alone). But then we played for three hours (as opposed to one hour last time) so that might have contributed as well.

I certainly hope to participate in more mini-tournaments in future... they held quite a few but I hadn't been keeping up with the news. Then at least I can play a little... even though my scores aren't as good as before. Got to keep moving and keep those reflexes sharp!

By the way, the world record for intermediate is an 8 since 2012. (I'm rounding up because I don't like "real time") It was still in the double digits the last I remember. And the expert record is 32 since 2010... I do believe I had heard of this, briefly... but it must have slipped my mind. (both records by Kamil Muranski) I still remember when getting sub-40 was such a big deal. And somehow those times are what I remember. Lasse Nyholm, the first Minesweeper legend that I heard of, is now at number 30 on the world rankings. Times have certainly changed!

Participating in a World Championship

A few days ago I found out that there was going to be another Minesweeper World Championship in Vienna, this weekend. I was like, I want to get my ticketttssss!!! But unfortunately, I can't. So I guess I will be joining online instead. My game has gotten worse anyway... so I'm sure my scores will not be that good. I will just aim for finishing enough games (5 intermediates and 5 experts - it should be possible, within three hours), and my goal (a realistic one) would be to get the intermediates under 25 and the experts under 90. That would make my total score less than 575 (5×25 + 5×90).

Anyway, I found that the last online tournament I joined was in 2011, and I even posted about it here.

I also went back to check the country rankings for Malaysia... there's a new player at number 2 since I last checked, but I'm still at number 1. Yay! The new number-two had his last record in 2012 (see the date beside his expert record). Not sure whether he's still playing and will beat me one day... :s But that's what you have to expect when you "retire".

Of tournaments and slang

There was an online Minesweeper tournament today. I found out about it on Friday, I think...and I decided I would join in if I was at home at the time.

The tournament was held at 3pm CET (Central European Time), which meant it was at 9pm here in Malaysia. We played for an hour and the final score was the total of our best 10 beginners, 5 intermediates and 3 experts.

There was a program to upload our scores in real time.

Final results:

(click to enlarge)

I guess I have to brush up on my beginner and expert (especially my expert!) My intermediate is still okay...even though it's still bad compared to my best time (see sidebar).

Unfortunately, other than not having played regularly for a while, I've also been out of touch with the Minesweeper community...I didn't know half the people participating in the tournament, and in the chatroom everything was a blur. I sort of drowned in all the chat messages and I didn't feel like joining in the conversation at all. Oh well, time will tell if I can get back into the game. (and the community)

By the way, I discovered a new Internet slang. After the game, several people were writing "wp all" in the chatroom. I checked online, and it turns out that WP means either wrong person or well played. (in the chatroom, it was "well played", of course) And since I use WP as my nickname, if they say WP (as in well played) to someone, I will get pinged. -_-

Still, this makes a pretty good pun. If someone misread the scores and (somehow, somehow...however far-fetched) thought that I had won, they might say "WP, WP!" (or as most people will write with neither capitals nor punctuation, "wp wp") Then I'd have to reply WP (wrong person) :P

This should be a pretty new slang...because I had been on the Minesweeper community for years and I never saw this expression. People are really getting lazier and lazier...

A partial victory

I just realised, I've been the top-ranked Malaysian player in Minesweeper for more than three years now (most probably four, maybe five, six or possibly up to seven years actually) I can't remember when I knocked Khor Eng Tat off his first place (and I'm rather lazy to check), but I know that when I got that 52, I had already been at the top spot for some time. And I can't believe that it was back in 2007! Wow...I've been dormant for that long?!

So here's a screenshot, for posterity. Because you never know when I might lose that place to someone else ;)

These scores might seem a little confusing because they are "real" times, starting from zero instead of one, and not rounded up (bla-bla-bla, I didn't agree with this system but I was overruled -_- )
So my 1.20 up there is actually a 2 in "normal" score, and so on for the others.

However, from being in second place on the girls' ranking, I've been overtaken by five Chinese girls (just when I was about to beat the previous number one, too! -_- )

(Okay, I was overtaken by only one at the beginning, ages ago; the others came up later, I just noticed them :P )

For those who wonder why I'm suddenly posting about this, I saw an announcement about the next Minesweeper tournament (in Stirling, where unfortunately I won't be) and suddenly wondered, am I still number one on Malaysia's list?

(That screenshot is from The Authoritative Minesweeper.)

Get set...go!

First day at work today...what can I say? One task to do...and the rest of the day wondering how I can continue and get better results. Not that I came up with anything.

I had a new computer, new login account, new everything...so I tried to make some new records on the Windows Minesweeper program. Here's what I got:


Not bad for a first day's work, I guess :P

I also spent my day customising the computer for my own use...which included changing the keyboard settings (that's the most important!!) and adding bookmarks to Firefox. By the way, the tech guy (I don't know what to call him so I'll call him that) told me that there were qwerty keyboards available as well, but I've gotten so used to switching the keyboard anywhere to US-International, I don't really mind having an azerty any more...

And just for laughs, here's something I saw on a web page today:


It's from here. I saw the article on my Google reader, so I wanted to go to the webpage...but for some reason the article was lost. Too bad...I had to read it on the Reader instead. (It was an article about different companies and their logos' evolution.)

Une tendance à écrire tout et n'importe quoi en période de DS

Je devrais être en train de travailler, mais j'ai pas envie. Donc à la place, je suis en train de relire des anciens articles sur mon blog. J'ai trouvé ceci: Le démineur sur son CV? que j'ai écrit l'année dernière.

Finalement pour ma recherche de PFE cette année j'ai gardé le démineur sur mon CV...je pense pas que ça ait changé quelque chose. C'est vrai que cette année j'ai eu plus de mal à trouver un stage, mais je crois que la raison principale est que pour la plupart des offres il fallait postuler sur un site web (et non pas à une adresse mail) et donc la personne concernée (celle qui fait la décision, quoi) ne reçoit peut-être pas la candidature directement, ou tout de suite. Par exemple j'ai reçu deux offres après la date limite de dépôt des sujets...heureusement j'avais déjà trouvé mon stage à ce moment-là.

Cette année il y a une entreprise où on m'a parlé justement du démineur pendant mon entretien (l'année dernière personne l'a mentionné)...mais je sais pas si ça a augmenté ou diminué mes chances. Finalement je l'ai pas eu, ce stage...mais aussi je le voulais pas puisque c'était trop loin de Lyon et pas meilleur qu'un stage que j'avais déjà sur Lyon! Donc j'ai même pas envoyé un mail de remerciement après l'entretien...ça a peut-être joué sur leur décision!

Alors il y aura encore une décision à faire pour mon prochain CV...ce sera en Malaisie donc il vaudrait peut-être mieux ne pas parler du démineur... non? Enfin, on verra...

Is 13 my lucky number?

I just got another 13. It just beat my previous record by some tenths of a second, but this time it was done non-flagging. And it really is my fastest time on intermediate, including the first, "non-valid" 13.


Seeing as I've been playing less and less for the past few years, it's nice to beat a record! :) I'm still hoping to do better than that one day (and also finish an expert game in less than 50 seconds), but for now maybe I should just be content and not hope too much. After all, that's how this record came along...

And here are the stats, if they mean anything to you ;)


By the way, this was done listening to the Backstreet Boys' We've got it going on ^_^

Le démineur sur son CV?

Sur le forum de planète-démineur on a discuté du fait de mettre le démineur sur son CV. Malheureusement ce forum a été hacké et je retrouve plus la discussion. Donc je mettrai ici ce que je voulais y dire...

Pour ma recherche de stage de 4ème année j'ai mis le démineur sur mon CV. J'ai hésité...mais finalement je me suis dit qu'il valait mieux le mettre maintenant que plus tard, quand je chercherai un poste permanent.

Et donc j'ai essayé. Et franchement ça a pas fait de mal... Je saurai pas si ça a mis de l'avantage, mais vu que j'ai été reçue en entretien pour les 4 offres de stage auxquelles j'ai postulés, le démineur a certainement pas fait aux recruteurs de jeter mon CV à la poubelle! :D

Par contre pour les candidatures spontanées ça leur a pas fait penser qu'il fallait absolument me voir... :P

Pour la prochaine fois je me demande si je vais garder le démineur sur mon CV...

Breaking news

For those of you who follow my minesweeper journey, I just got a 13 on intermediate, a valid one this time. The earlier one was on a 3bv less than 30, 22 I believe. This one was on a 32. The exaltation has worn off a little since I screamed it on Yahoo and Facebook, mainly because I have always considered my high score 13 anyway...though it wasn't that great not to be able to submit it for rankings, and now I can! :D

So there ya go, the sidebar's updated! ^_^

Vienna - Day 4: Minesweeper Championship

Saturday was championship day. But since the championship was in the afternoon, I took a walk in the morning...first I went to a market where the was supposedly an interesting flea market Saturdays (there was nothing much there, actually) and then to the Belvedere castle.

the castle

the garden

It was awfully cold, and raining a bit. So I didn't hang around outdoors for long; I went to the university right after a quick walk around the castle grounds.

Oh yeah, and I should mention that I bought a most delicious fish sandwich from a stall at the market. I didn't take a photo of it because firstly, it wasn't that spectacular anyway, and secondly, because when you are holding a sandwich in one hand and an umbrella in the other, you would have quite some trouble getting out your camera to take a photo :P

What comes next will be a sort of "report" about the championship; I actually wrote it a few weeks ago, not long after coming back to Lyon, while it was all still fresh in my mind. That's why all the details are there...

First, a brief description of the system:

The championship was played in sessions, with each session lasting 999 seconds. In each session, each player has to complete 10 beginner games, followed by 6 intermediate and 2 expert ones. After they complete the 18 games, they will be free to play whatever they want.

After each session, points are calculated. The point system is a little complicated to explain, so I will only say this: we get points for completion (completing the 18 games in the least time), expert, intermediate and beginner (the sum of the 5 best times achieved), and these with a weight of 4, 3, 2, and 1 respectively.

When the player who is leading reaches a predetermined amount of points, a number of players (also predetermined) who have the least points will drop out of the game. The other players continue until a player reaches the next predetermined amount of points, and so on.

For full details on the scoring system, read about it here.

The event:

Now that you know how it works, let me tell you how I fared. I did pretty well in the first session, completing my 18 games in a little less than 600 seconds. I came in 4th in points.

However, the trouble immediately began. I started having a lot (and I mean really a LOT) of trouble finishing my expert games. On the next few sessions we played, I finished my intermediate boards faster and faster but was simply unable to finish my two (let alone one, in one of the sessions, I believe) Fortunately for me (and unfortunately for some others who played good sessions) there was a computer bug and most of these sessions were cancelled. (I can't remember how many)

So it turned out that in the 2nd real session (where points were counted) I only managed to finish 17 games. After the points were counted, I tied with Arsen for 6th and 7th place.

In the 3rd session I had finished 17 games and had started another when the 999 seconds were up. The rules were that if you were playing at that time, you could finish the game. So I took every precaution (not caring how long I took) and luckily managed to complete the game.

At the end of this session I was 6th.

By that time I knew that my only chance to catch up to the others was to complete the 18 games quickly. (since completion carried the most weight) In the 4th session I managed to do it in 569.48 seconds, only behind Jon who finished in 538.29 seconds. This put me in 5th place in points.

In the next session I finished slightly more quickly, in 527.51 seconds. But I was again behind someone - this time Tommy who managed it in 479.38 seconds. This 5th session was my last because Tommy had (yet again :P ) reached a number of points that asked for the elimination of certain players. My final place was 5th and then there were the playoffs for the top three places.

Tommy came in first after leading almost throughout the whole tournament, Reid was second, and Christoph came in third.

Full results are on this site.

After the tournament:

We went bowling (and for some, drinking beer ;) ) in a kind of shopping mall. It was the first time I tried bowling, and it was pretty fun, even though I hardly knew what I was doing, especially at first :P I didn't even know that the balls were of different weights until Robert told me! There were about ten of us on two lanes.

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos that day (or night) and I still haven't received any of the group photos taken, so I can't put them here. :/ However I will put a photo of my prize for fifth place ;)

A wireless keyboard and mouse set, and I am using the former right now ;)
(I still prefer my old mouse)

It was Gergely, who had already organised a few minesweeper tournaments in Budapest, who managed to get a few prizes sponsored by Microsoft Hungary. There were six prizes, but they didn't determine the prizes for each place, so the winners chose the prize they wanted, starting with the first-place winner, of course.

Another thing I should mention: Johnny and Dave, our cameramen were of course filming the whole tournament and prize-giving. So I suppose that right now they are putting together their documentary, and we might see it some day...
