    My goal is to democratize Tetris knowledge so the game can thrive for generations to come. Although I may no longer play competitively, I hope these guides help others surpass me and achieve their own goals.

    If you’ve enjoyed the books, I’d greatly appreciate a review on Amazon or Goodreads (simply search for the title there).
