TL;DR Summary

Willis Gibson, a 13-year-old from Stillwater, Oklahoma, achieved the seemingly impossible by beating the original Tetris game, reaching the game's kill screen. His feat was acknowledged by Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov and Tetris Co. founder Henk Rogers during a surprise Zoom meeting. Despite Pajitnov's assertion that the game itself is unbeatable, Willis dedicated his victory to his late father and continues to compete in Tetris tournaments, holding a world record for Tetris on Gameboy and placing third in the world championship.
