Tetris:Solved

I’m going to ruin Tetris. I Don’t know why competitive Tetris Exists.

So you have that big boy piece that’s a straight line. 4 blocks all in a row. This is the only piece that allows you to achieve a “Tetris”. That is to clear all four lines at once.

What about all the other pieces?

Let’s say you keep the left column free. This is to insert Mr Big Boy and make the Tetris 4 bang bang yes.

Now, the other pieces are little bitch pieces in this theory. Separate to the big boy. Where do they go?

Start from the right.

Each block consists of four microbricks, but in different shapes: square, L, blah blah

Now whichever microbrick is closest to the top, call this the top layer.

You want the top layer to be as flat as possible. The flatter the mass of blocks, the higher the probability the next piece can fit cleanly. It is a piece fitting ugly that ruins your play.

Aiming to keep flat you will quickly see everything fits easily. Any shaped brick can fit on top of a flat line.

Now you are just a robot following rules.

The game becomes pointless.

A solved game is not a game.

In competitive it is only down to luck of who has more big boy bricks come at the right time to give a higher score.

It was never meant to be a competitive game. A solved game of chance should not be competitive.
