Minesweeper Videos
Tutoriales, récords mundiales y análisis estratégicos para todos los niveles — desde tu primer tablero hasta el juego Expert competitivo.
Tutorials for Beginners
Start here if you have never finished an Expert board. Beginner tutorials teach the three controls that matter most - left-click to reveal, right-click to flag, and the all-important chord (clicking a satisfied number to clear its neighbours in one action). A good tutorial shows you how to read what a number actually means: the count of mines in the eight cells around it. Watch one of these end to end, then play a few 9×9 Beginner boards while the logic is fresh.
Pattern & Strategy Breakdowns
Once the basics feel automatic, the biggest jumps in speed come from pattern recognition and chording rhythm. These videos slow the board down and walk through the formations you will see on almost every Expert game - the 1-2-1, the 1-2-2-1, and the wall 1-1 - and show exactly which cells become safe and which become mines. The chording video is the single most valuable watch on this page: a clean chord reveals five to seven cells in one click and is how strong players reach 130%+ efficiency. Follow along with our written pattern reference so you can pause, replay, and drill each formation.
World-Record Speedruns
World-record runs are the best way to study what elite play actually looks like. Watch how the top players never pause: they read entire regions of the board at a glance, chord through open areas instead of clicking cells one by one, and flag only when a flag enables a chord. The Expert record sits just under 27 seconds for 99 mines, and only a handful of players in history have ever broken 30 seconds. Slow these runs to 0.25x speed and watch the mouse path - you will notice almost no wasted movement and very few individual left-clicks. When you are ready to chase your own best, take it to the Expert board and check where you land on the world rankings.
Where to Watch
The embeds above pull live YouTube search results, so they always surface current uploads. Beyond them, three places are worth following for ongoing Minesweeper video content:
- YouTube - the largest library of tutorials, world-record verifications, and full no-commentary speedruns. Search by player name (for example "kiraa96") to find a single creator's back catalogue.
- Twitch - live competitive sessions where you can watch top players warm up, set personal bests in real time, and explain their reads in chat.
- Community VOD threads - the r/Minesweeper subreddit regularly pins record runs and annotated replays with frame-by-frame discussion.
- Turn what you watched into reps with the Minesweeper chording guide and the Minesweeper Pattern Bible.
