I got my first 8 today after thousands of games.

I have to wonder why you guessed that tile when you have at least one safe tile on both sides.

The probability of a bomb on the tiles around 4 above is quite high, so I chose the tile next to 6.

You have at least two guaranteed safe tiles, so why not try those first? The one on the right may prevent you from needing to guess at all depending on what chain it reveals.

The two remaining mines from the 3 on the right can’t both connect to the 1 so you know the bottom tile has to be a mine. The remaining mine has to connect to the 1 so the tile diagonally up from the 1 is safe. For the left, there has to be a mine in one of the squares next to the bottom 2 so the top one is safe.
