chording is available only during peace times

It's still middle-click in my muscle memory from the Windows XP days!

God, I used to be _really_ into Minesweeper.

One of the earliest games I made back in college was a 3D Minesweeper cube. I remember being really proud of one little detail – the detection and automatic resolution of ambiguous clues that would require guessing, which always annoyed the heck out of me in every other version of Minesweeper.

Oh, me too. Do you have your game still available somewhere?

Nah, this was 20 years ago or so! Would be fun to whip up a modern version though.

Clearing more than one sector at a time requires allied support.

Added double click feature

Double clicking on a tile doesn't seem to do anything different than a single click (Firefox on macOS)

Oh, I see - double clicking only works when you have already marked the correct number of adjacent mines. I didn't remember that's how it worked in the original.

I also never knew it was called "chording", that's worth an explanation.
