Do you understand the general concept?

Not trying to be rude or anything. Just inquiring so I understand what you mean. Just FYI the flag in the upper left was improper if you already had all those "1" markers available. That space was demonstrated to not be a mine.

In a not very dense field you'll find many 1s because the mines will usually be spaced apart from one another.
The numbers indicate the number of mines neighboring that cell. Each cell is surrounded by 9 other cells so cells can be a mine, a blank or a number 1-9 indicating how many mines surround it.
I've played some advanced boards that are dense with mines and you see a lot more of the higher numbers.
Anyway with enough information you can deduce where certain mines are.

One thing I dislike about the game is you may encounter one or more areas that are a coin flip 50-50 shot that the mine is either here or there. Sort of sucks to rock a board only to lose in the final stretch because of something you have no control over.

I went to play a larger board with 99 mines and you can see how different it looks. Aside from the initial few clicks which are a leap of faith this was uncovered through a process of informed marking of mines.

Like I talked about in the last post I've circled two areas which are in fact a 50-50 chance of the mine being in one of two neighboring cells. Additionally I the indicator at top says there's only 1 mine left which has me scratching my head where I may have flagged a cell in error. Usually that leads to failure by the time you've cleared a lot of the board. Maybe somebody can call out where I messed up.

Anyway sorry if I'm bloviating too much. I just happen to love this game as it's a real mind-teaser. Hope you have fun with it yourself.

I also caught my mistake. I'll see if anybody wants to also find it. Anyway in the first of the 50-50 shots I clicked a mine ending the game in defeat. Oh well.
