# Start a new expert game
new_game("expert") # 30x16 grid, 99 mines!
# Get AI-powered strategic hints
get_hint(game_id) # Returns probability analysis
# Make strategic moves
reveal(game_id, x, y) # Uncover cells
flag(game_id, x, y) # Mark mines
# Analyze the board
analyze_board(game_id) # Full probability matrix
```

## 🎮 Minesweeper Gameplay Examples
### 🎯 Start Playing
```python
# Create a new game
result = new_game("intermediate") # 16x16, 40 mines
game_id = result["game_id"]
# Make your first move
reveal(game_id, 8, 8) # Start in the center
# Get strategic advice
hint = get_hint(game_id)
# Returns: {"action": "reveal", "x": 5, "y": 3, "reason": "0% mine probability"}
```
### 🧮 Advanced Analysis
```python
# Full probability analysis
analysis = analyze_board(game_id)
# Returns probability matrix for all hidden cells
# Strategic guidance
prompt = analyze_strategy(game_id, "stuck on complex constraint")
# Returns step-by-step strategic guidance
```
### 📊 Statistics & Learning
```python
# Check your progress
stats = list_games()
# Shows win rate, best times, active games
# Learn from the masters
guide = get_strategy_guide()
# Comprehensive strategy documentation
```
## 🧪 Testing Your Servers
