blockfish Breaks Least Cheese PB

For those outside the loop, blockfish is a Tetris cheese bot developed by iitalics. The lowest piece count for blockfish was formerly 175 pieces, generated by iitalics on his custom client. After porting the bot to Jstris, freyhoe spent several days (over 20k runs!) attempting to beat the record, and was finally rewarded with an 174 piece run!

While the lowest possible piece count is 115, the current iteration of blockfish may have reached its limit and is heavily dependent on RNG for further improvement. There’s certainly more room for improvement in the algorithm though, so stay tuned for more breakthroughs!

Blockfish is currently publicly available in MMC, and will downstack a cheese fumen when prompted. You can also find both freyhoe and iitalics here if you’d like to talk about blockfish!

In other cheese news, Qepsi recently came close to matching the current human least piece record by thomastik, but unfortunately could not find the best solve.
