They keep taking the entire event down (~7 hours of competition) on the CTCW YouTube page, but luckily someone thought ahead and recorded the Semi-Finals.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHMLwgE4ZG8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHMLwgE4ZG8</a>I've been following competitive Tetris for the past 2 years now. It slid into my YT feed and I've been hooked.I got to watch the stream live!Jonas is the man! He's won it multiple times and plays a beautiful game. I thought he had the kid, Joseph, for a moment with a +100k lead. But, as he topped out Joseph was able to keep his composure. I was beautiful to watch and I gave him a standing ovation (from my living room).The cool thing is, the kid worked hard at the game for about a year before joining the competition. He studied videos on YouTube and just became obsessed with the game. He's the next wave (which the Tetris community had been discussing for the past few years), and its cool to see that this game is not dead yet. Its virtual chess.The Tetris community is a good one. Its seems as if everyone backs everyone. There are no egos, just humble-pie Tetris. Jonas was a class act at the end congratulating the kid.If you have a chance, please watch the video. You'll be amazed with the skill/tactics involved in this game.edit Here's the winning match! Just watched it again. It give me goosebumps! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9rXBQLfjjE" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9rXBQLfjjE</a>

The first thing I show people that don't believe me when I say high level Tetris is hype as heck is the Grand master Exhibitions during Summer Games Done Quick in 2015 [1] and 2016 [2].My jaw fell to the floor when I saw them beat the game at near instant speed with invisible blocks. I just can't process how fast these guys play.Really glad this community is getting more exposure and more young blood is joining the scene![1]<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViwDUiCzPVU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViwDUiCzPVU</a>[2]<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPQFeMRXwmg" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPQFeMRXwmg</a>

This just in: Apparently every Chess and Go champion in the last millennia is younger than the game.

My childhood claim to fame with tetris was to get a negative score on the windows 3.1 version. It turned out the points were stored in a 16 bit integer and wrapped to negative values above 32767.For sure in that version the "hypertap" approach was superior to holding down the arrow keys. Even with the highest repeat key settings in windows you could get more moves per second by tapping.

The BBC website won't display the video of this to me unless I install their app. There's something deeply wrong with that.

Title makes no sense to me ("Teenager beats Tetris game older than he is to become world champion [video]").

I remember some 15 years ago when I played few hours of tetris on fastest mode to see if I would be able to learn it. At first the game would last 3 seconds, but I managed to bump it up to some 10 seconds before becoming overwhelmed. It was fun exercise of learning process where rules and winning metrics are well defined.That night while falling asleep, my mind was still playing tetris. I visualized the game vividly and could actually play it in my mind. Only later I learned this is actually called The Tetris Effect (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect</a>).

Chess is older than any chess world champion, older than the world as we know maybe. This part of the title is an absurd argument.

I watch Ecstasy of Order (which features among others Jonas Neubauer, who lost in this case) at least once every 6 months. I'm glad to see they're keeping up the pace with these championships.

I've been watching these events since the first one as Jonas is a good friend. He's a fantastic person and now ambassador of Tetris. If you're interested, he regularly streams his play and analysis at:<a href="https://m.twitch.tv/nubbinsgoody" rel="nofollow">https://m.twitch.tv/nubbinsgoody</a>If you want to see an exciting documentary about how this all got started:<a href="https://youtu.be/TiO1nCFeWvk" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/TiO1nCFeWvk</a>

Tetris never dies. I know a lot of people are pretty excited for the Tetsuya Mizuguchi reboot Tetris Effect which launches Nov 9 for PS4. Particularly VR play, which seems to reliably induce out of body experiences ;)The Tetris Effect And Our Boundaryless Digital Future<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/tetris-effect-tetsuya-mizguchi-virtual-reality/" rel="nofollow">https://www.wired.com/story/tetris-effect-tetsuya-mizguchi-v...</a>

The real puzzle is why there are so fewer young people playing Tetris-- a fairly recent game-- than, say, Chess-- which has been around for many decades. (An impressive 100% of known Chess masters are younger than the game.)I'd venture to guess the graphics of Tetris already look outdated by today's standards whereas the realism of Chess is much more visually impressive.

I really liked the previous champion's sportsmanlike response to his defeat.

why is the age of the player vs the game any significance?

Game of my childhood, besides PackMan. The saddest story - when the battery died on my portable tetris device. :) Good old days! Congrats to the kid!
