Rotation system [[Image:25%.png]]
I'm a Japanese TGM player. Although I'm not a Gm Class player, I write some articles. So there are not certainly. And I hope that you could understand my poor English...

TGM rotation system is based on Tetris (Sega). So there are many differences from the "World Rule" of The Tetris Company. I write about "Tetris the Grand Master". It is an origin of "Tetris The Grand Master Series".

Basic block control flow [[Image:25%.png]]

 * 1) Check the Initial Rotation
 * 2) A new block appears
 * 3) loop until a block locked.
 * 4) Check a block actions. (Actions effect following the below sequence in a frame.)
 * 5) Rotation
 * 6) Horizonal Move
 * 7) Vertical Drop
 * 8) Check to lock a block

Rotation Rules and Piece Colors [[Image:25%.png]]
TGM inherits its piece colors and rotation rules from Sega's 1988 arcade version of Tetris. It expands upon Sega's rotation rules by including compensations, allowing pieces to rotate in tight spots.
