Chording is when you press both mouse buttons at the same time. If you flag all of the mines touching a number, chording on the number opens the remaining squares. A common strategy for starting games is to randomly click until you get a big opening with lots of numbers. When you open a square that does not touch any mines, it will be empty and the adjacent squares will automatically open in all directions until reaching squares that contain numbers. Pressing the right mouse button again changes your flag into a questionmark. You open squares with the left mouse button and put flags on mines with the right mouse button. Windows Minesweeper always makes the first click safe. If you click on a mine you lose the game! You can use the number clues to solve the game by opening all of the safe squares.

Safe squares have numbers telling you how many mines touch the square. Minesweeper is a game where mines are hidden in a grid of squares. When you won at least one game on the easy, medium and expert difficulty you will be rewarded with the next achievement.Minesweeper on Windows XP with 40 mines solved in 28 seconds Start up a new game on the Expert difficulty and complete the whole board except for the last mine, instead detonate it.
