And at the same time I had a friend who was pretty decent at Minesweeper, and I wanted to improve my times to simply beat him. And I enjoyed playing it from time to time as an alternative to, like, Solitaire.

Competitive Minesweeper! My first question: how did you get into competitive Minesweeper? How did you discover this was a thing you liked and were good at?Īryeh: Well, I first played Minesweeper in the late ninties on my dad’s old Windows 3.1 computer. But first: a video compilation of his best recorded times. I have also taken the liberty of linking some of Aryeh’s comments to relevant articles in the definitive Minesweeper wiki. This interview has been edited for length.
It’s centered around a single website, communicates chiefly through a carefully-preserved, late-nineties-style website guestbook, and has weathered a number of disasters and controversies on par with those generated by any more-popular e-sport community. Over the years, Minesweeper has birthed its own online competitive community– one very different from the competitive gaming communities we’re used to reading about on the internet today. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Aryeh D, a fellow Dartmouth student, on the topic of his particular expertise: competitive Minesweeper.
