Winning in under 300 is a decent game, but your asking for help on a p easy board. There's 3 or 4 unmarked mines I can see right now, and since most of the rest of the board was empty, if you have to guess you should assume as little overlap as possible. Hth

I think you're right, if that square has a mine then that will be 2 mines next to the '2' and it will be impossible to get a third mine next to the 3. Once you know that square is free you then know there must be two mines to the left of it (because those are the only two spaces left touching the 2 to the left) and the rest should be straight forward.

The Win7 version of 'Sweeper owns because it auto-gens the board after the first click, and prevents any bullshit unresolvable plots so that your sweet sub-160 game isn't ruined because the last move is a 50-50 toss up in the corner.

Is it possible to beat minesweeper in one click? Like the blank spaces chain in such a pattern the whole board is revealed except mines?

You still have to mark the mines, so no.

You don't have to mark all the mines in minesweeper it's just for your own memory.

Yep.



I kinda sorta figured it out by laying a flag down in the far left as a hypothetical and then seeing if the subsequent flags along that row were making sense.
