A 13-year-old is the first human to beat Tetris | Numerous theoretical milestones remain::undefined
The thumbnail and the title made me think of the basketball kid from The Boondocks
I read a post shared on here somewhere the other week about this that might have note info for those curious https://biggieblog.com/celebrating-the-first-nes-tetris-game-crash/
Interesting read!
Here’s a really fascinating video that explains the various NES Tetris controller techniques, including rolling, the new technique that’s radically changed the way the game is played the last few years.
It’s worth checking out the player Fractal, who does stream on YouTube. I would consider him a pioneer in rolling.
https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=GuJ5UuknsHU&listen=false someone made a bit of a minidoc on this for people outside of the tetris scene, it brought me all the way up to speed and was well made!
Apparently the kid’s dad died last month. Reckon the story makes a whole lot more sense with that in mind.

I hope Wozniak sends this kid a congratulatory card or something.
Why Wozniak?
Wozniak was obsessed with Tetris, and would send his high scores to Nintendo Power Magazine.
Eventually, since nobody was able to touch his scores, Nintendo Power asked him to stop, so he (Steve Wozniak) started submitting them as “Evets Kainzow”, and at least one of his scores was printed under that name.
So, yeah, he has a history as a (the?) Top human player of Tetris in an age past.
He use to be really good at it afaik.
It’s crazy living in a time when “first human to ______” is a normal headline.
poor little guy nearly had a heart attack…
I beat it on gameboy in the early 90s. Is that a different Tetris than the one mentioned here?
Had to wait until the day after to share with my friends at school
