"Teenage Prodigy Breaks Record by Conquering the 'Unbeatable' Tetris"

Willis Gibson, a 13-year-old from Stillwater, Oklahoma, achieved what was thought to be impossible by beating the classic Nintendo Entertainment System version of "Tetris." On December 21, he reached a "true killscreen," a point where the game freezes due to inability to process the score, after playing for 38 minutes. This milestone was reached after advancements in player techniques and insights gained from an AI model called StackRabbit. Willis, known as "Blue Scuti," is also a top competitor in the "Tetris" community, having placed third at the Classic Tetris World Championship and winning thousands in prize money. His accomplishment has been celebrated within the gaming community, especially on Twitch where he was live-streaming his historic game.
