I used to be quite hesitant in situations where there was no move to be deduced, but I've started being quite reckless* - just click anywhere and I haven't hit a mine yet. I used to think it would be a great addition to the game when I used to play, as losing due to luck is really, really frustrating. I know in the last versions they had a simplified version of this where you could never hit a mine on your first click - which was better than some naive versions I've played where you can die on your first move (terrible design there). *<i>As reckless as you can be playing... minesweeper!</i> Hi Chris,

I shall keep my ear to the ground. Thanks for the head's up!
