Instead of guessing, you can solve it by flagging the rest of the board and seeing how many mines are left. There might be an arrangement of numbers with more than one solution, and the solutions require different amounts of mines. Sometimes you can improve the chance of guessing right. Flaggers often make the mistake of guessing the mine because they love to chord. If you need to guess and there are more empty squares than mines involved, it is always better to guess an empty square instead of guessing a mine. This can allow you to open even more squares (marked blue) which may help you solve the original guess. Instead of guessing, open the safe 3rd square. In 'Example B' there is a mine in the two yellow squares. If you can prove a square is safe, open it instead of guessing where the mine is. Opening safe squares is as important as finding mines. You have just guessed for no reason! A smart player will click the outer two squares first, which allows enough time to react to the initial click and decide if there is a mine. But if you click fast there is no time to react, so you will lose if the middle square is a mine. The fastest way to solve 'Example A' is to click the unopened squares in a row. Many players are impatient and guess instead of solving.
Do not delay taking forced guesses - solving the rest of the board first is a waste of time if you end up guessing the wrong square. Waiting to see if you guessed right also wastes time, so assume you survived and try to keep playing. Thinking does not improve your chance of guessing correctly, it only wastes time.
A typical case is a 50/50 situation where one mine is hidden in two squares. Sometimes in Minesweeper you need to guess.
