    0:06 - chess might very well have the exact same outcome each time if your enemy makes the same moves each time. Tetris' moves are pure randomness. That introduction to Tetris was made in a very bizarre way. It's unclear to 99% of people watching what you even meant by "Is tetris a solved game?", and I never heard anyone ask such a question about Tetris to begin with.

    Hmm... I just remember playing as a kid in the 90's so many times. I also remember going into a negative score when you hit a certain level. I was so focussed at that time starting level 19 and max out at around over level 300. Over level 190 it was so glitchy that a 4 lines score just jumped you up multiple levels. Like from 190 instantely to 202. And when going higher 1 line just gave a level up. Playing in the early 90's without Smartphones and cameras and beeing at around 10 years old and home alone.

      Yeah, Moja stepped away from the scene while all of the other high level hypertappers switched to rolling. Moja's technique is still the best alternative to rolling (his 2.1 million personal best is still 23rd all-time on the leaderboards), but the ceiling for rolling is simply much higher, which explains why every tapper migrated to it.
