i always keep the very side open instead of the middle

[astonisher]

Yeah most people tend to keep sides open. My thoughts are to learn to keep the exact middle open so later on at higher levels when its harder to get pieces open you can just flip the long piece with one move and bam tetris.

Which version of Tetris is this?

[katchum]

Putting the side open has the advantage that you won't get too many holes.

[astonisher]

@90210night Yeah because for this version they're what score the most points whereas in most of the new versions TSTs score the most.

dude, you OWN, thankyou, but your strategy is easier shows than done, as a matter of fact, you make it look like cake! xD

when i play with this style i like to build from the left and keep the right side open :b but now for points i build sorta like a zig zag hold pattern thing for combo points

[demonstar3]

i completely suck at tetris thanks for the strategies, i'll try them out :)

[downding]

That's a very basic and yet important and neat trick. Thanks!
