The TKI 3 opening (Japanese 開幕TSD) is a setup invented by Tetris DS player TKI.
With an I tetromino early in the first bag, the player can try using the basic TKI-3 Opener. Given the right pieces, it allows for three T-Spin Doubles and a T-Spin Triple to finish. This is a good setup since it uses all pieces in a good balance, as well as not wasting a T.
Basically, the I piece comes before Z. The J piece can be placed on O vertically, on S and O horizontally or upside down on Z (there is an alternative way). Furthermore, if the J piece comes early, there is a variant the player can use. Throughout these, however, the basic setup remains the same.

Regular TKI 3
Castle Top variation
- Imperial Cross: If you can stack like the fourth diagram, you may get a Perfect Clear opportunity (89.68% PC rate).
- Perfect Clear after 6 lines (D Parfait)
- Perfect Clear after 6 lines (DD Parfait)
Fonzie variation
- Perfect Clear after 6 lines (DD Parfait): The second bag can be stacked in the following ways resulting in a T-Spin Single or Double and giving a chance for a Perfect Clear after 6 lines cleared in total.
Flat Top variation
This way involves placing the J piece upside down on top of the Z piece (there is another way as shown in the first diagram).
- LST Stacking: You have to improvise from the second bag onwards.
- Mechanical TSD: In this case, the player can choose to make another T-Spin Double or a Perfect Clear (71.67%).
- Imperial Cross: If you can stack like the second diagram, you may get a Perfect Clear opportunity (89.68% PC rate).
- Perfect Clear after 6 lines (DD Parfait): The second bag can be stacked in the following ways resulting in a T-Spin Double and giving a chance for a Perfect Clear after 6 lines cleared in total. Usually, the Perfect Clear is completed with an I or S piece coming first or second in the third bag.
- Perfect Clear after 8 lines (Yack's PC): You can often stack the second bag this way. In the first shape, note that you can spin the L after placing the J.
After this, you have a 68.77% chance to PC. This is the most common solve, but I suggest you to check all the solutions on this fumen[1]. Note that if you place the Z piece first, it climbs up to 88.33%.
- Perfect Clear after 8 lines: The second bag can be stacked in a way that clears a T-Spin Double and prepares a Perfect Clear after 8 cleared lines in total. For this example, the Perfect Clear rate is 41.27%. This example is one of the easiest ways to memorize.
- Perfect Clear after 12 lines: This example uses early J and L pieces in the second bag.
- Kaidan: Kaidan continuation with a small PC chance, can be followed by S4W.
Dingle variation
This is the latest variant, discovered by Agent RO in April 2021. This one places the J piece after the T-Spin Double, on the valley where the T-Spin Double was.
- Perfect Clear after 6 lines (DD Parfait): The second bag is usually stacked like this, depending on the placement of the JSL block. The O piece is required to precede I.
- Perfect Clear after 8 lines: Some ways require placing the remaining piece on top of the T-Spin Double. For this example, the Perfect Clear rate is 75.08%.
- Perfect Clear after 12 lines
Early J setup
If the J piece comes early, along with the I piece, the player can use this setup.
Continuations
- Perfect Clear after 6 lines (D Parfait): The last two diagrams will work if O or T come first or second in the third bag.
- Perfect Clear after 6 lines (DD Parfait)
- Perfect Clear after 8 lines: For this example, the Perfect Clear rate is 93.10%.
- Perfect Clear after 12 lines
