You don't necessarily have to plan things out, and if you get in trouble, you can throw other pieces in the far column in order to keep your stack clean. Choosing a far column gives you the greatest flexibility in terms of how you choose to build the stack over the nine remaining columns. If you choose one of the far columns, it is better to choose the right column over the left since the I piece (typically) spawns closer to the right side, and so you have less distance to travel to reach it compared to the left. There are several strategies when it comes to choosing the column to leave open, but there are two columns in particular that should be favored over others: the column on the far right, and the fight column from the right. In order to do this, you must plan out and set up your stack so that you build up nine out of ten columns, leaving one column empty for the arrival of an I piece that will earn you a Tetris. If your primary objective is to reach the highest score possible, there is no better strategy than to seek to clear four lines at a time (known as a Tetris) as frequently as possible. Look for these opportunities and exploit them when there are no better options and your stack is growing too high. Even O, S and Z pieces can be used to clear lines that aren't necessarily at the top of the stack. It's possible to clear two separated lines with L or J pieces, and only two or three lines with I pieces. Realize that when clearing lines, you don't necessarily have to clear contiguous lines with one piece. try not to clear the rows with pieces that leave blocks remaining above the holes and gaps that you are trying to clear.įor the second point, I pieces are useful, as well as T pieces which can be rotated to either side to prevent compounding the problem that you are trying to fix.clear the rows above the garbage rows in order to gain access to them and clean them up but. Throughout play, either as a result of making mistakes, presetting the height in a "B-Type" game, or when you are "attacked" in a multi-player game, you will find yourself in situations where you must clean up garbage rows that have one or more holes in them that are buried beneath other rows. However, it's not a good idea to place I pieces in the second column for the left or right side of the matrix if it's going to create a narrow gap that only another I piece can fit into. T, J and L pieces are usually a little easier to accommodate, and I pieces typically fit anywhere. Likewise, there should be places where an S or Z piece can be placed. In general, you should always have one portion of your stack available to accommodate an O-piece by having a two-square flat section on top of your stack. The first objective is a bit easier than the second, since the second requires more planning to achieve. present the maximum number of opportunities for any other piece to be placed on the stack without leaving holes or gaps.fit uniformly into your stack so that they leave no holes or gaps (if at all possible) and. In the mean time, you must place pieces in such a way that they: Throughout play, you must wait for the opportunity to clear lines to present themselves.
