A long while back, I dedicated my time to Tetris (on Gameboy). I surely spent less time on that than would have been necessary for chess, but it is amazing to see what progress is possible. I could play level 9[heart] without an end (in infinite play mode) or up to high 3 (6 rows of waste on bottom). When moving a brick to the left or right edge, the gameboy would make a long beep instead of individual blips. No idea how I could move my fingers that fast.
It is fun. For chess in contrast to Tetris, there is even a good chance for it to stay fun -- Tetris is a bit too simplistic for that, I think.

The YouTube channel aGameScout[0] also has a lot of interesting information on the history and recent developments of the tournament.

- LeonidasXIV 6y agoI did a similar thing. I bought a Gameboy and modded it for music production, but by far the most time I spend with it was playing Tetris DX where I started from failing really early up to the highest levels (that give you the rocket launch ending). It is a terrific device to play Tetris. No colour, no distraction, 30h of pure Tetris with one set of batteries. I am however missing that you can't start from higher levels than 9 (thus forcing you to replay boring bits) and it is missing the modern Tetris features like holding and hard-drops. Somewhat surprising nobody implemented modern Tetris for the classic GB yet.
