Finesse (Minimal Inputs)

Difficulty: Advanced

Place a piece at its target spot using the fewest possible inputs.

Finesse is the technique of minimizing the movement and rotation inputs needed to place a piece at its intended spot and orientation. Cutting out unnecessary inputs tires your hands less and leaves more time to think.

For example, to move a piece all the way left, hold the left key to slide it against the wall in one motion instead of tapping it repeatedly, and choose the shortest rotation path to the target orientation.

Once finesse becomes second nature, your accuracy holds up even at high speed, greatly helping you shave time off Sprint records and survive reliably at high levels.
