Any other dedicated minesweeper players around? Share your tips and conquests here.

I've barely been playing for a year, but I believe I'm decent. I'm working to improve my game, practicing about a half hour every day and hopefully attain a world ranking someday. I just broke a longtime barrier of being unable to complete a game under 150 seconds, so I am getting better, but still have a long way to go before I reach my target 70 seconds that I'll need to enter the rankings.

For those interested, here's my personal best. Tips appreciated!:

I'm using Minesweeper X, don't know if the other official clones will open files recorded using Minesweeper X.
