Finesse (also called movement finesse or two-step finesse) is an input optimization technique used to place down tetrominos while minimizing key presses. Using the Super Rotation System in modern Tetris games, players can get their piece to any position on the field, excluding hard drop, in two keypresses, hence the common term "two-step finesse". Many players either actively practice finesse or subconsciously learn it while improving their speed. Advantages of finesse include saving time/going faster by pressing less keys by leaving the thought of placing pieces to muscle memory.
