[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwC544Z37qo) Just…watch it. It’s pretty nuts, and at the end, it goes invisible. Crazy speed, don’t think I could play Tetris that much to get to this level. ---

Cool, the strategy is to keep one space on the very right open and drop a 1x4 down it. That’ll improve my score although I haven’t played in 10 years. ---

Yeah, I’ve seen this before. This was a part of 10 videos of video game players that you’ll NEVER be better than. Ah, [here](http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/pc/news/youll-never-be-this-good-at-games/a-200711239291393082/g-2006032219817514003) it is. ---

[QUOTE=Darryl Lict] Cool, the strategy is to keep one space on the very right open and drop a 1x4 down it. That’ll improve my score although I haven’t played in 10 years. [/QUOTE] I’ve always known that was the right strategy, but knowing is one thing, and executing is another. I invariably end up fucking things up somewhere along the line, and have to scramble desperately to recover. I think the most amazing thing about that guy (apart from the invisible stuff, which is just RIDICULOUS) was when the game starts to get fast and he makes a few mistakes and blocks off his long alley on the right, and is then able to recover is a few moves.
