The rise and fall and fall and fall of Tetris champions

Thanks to hyper-tapping and more efficient stacking, players build higher and higher, almost refusing to accept any line clearance that’s not a Tetris. To the older generation, the style seems reckless. To newer players, it’s simply the best way to play.

This sounds so much like the chess and Go strategies that AI comes up with, they seem reckless but the AI knows the odds and how to make it all work out right. Or even going for it on 4th down in football, a good underused strategy that is finally making some headway.
