Jigsaw

A 1st PC opener with a 69.64% or 74.52% chance of doing a perfect clear, created by stickmancomic to ensure high point yield in ultra/blitz while keeping high PC chances.

​

In order to ensure 100% coverage, this opener has 2 variants: Jaws and PCO. The variant that you build will depend on the bag.

The goal is to build a tub

This can be built with the L_mino z_mino and t_mino

While building the tub, you want to build a Horizontal or Vertical I_mino

Horizontal I_mino​

You just want to build a horizontal I_mino shape doesn't matter too much how

Vertical I_mino​

Same as horizontal I_mino but vertical. In this case you can put the I_mino to either side of the board


After you can continue with 2nd PC

2nd PC​

It is important when intending to transition to 2nd PC that you set yourself up for good solves. It's why we've divided the solves into multiple categories.

Has T_mino 2nd - Easy and 100% 2nd PC, typically easy and good saves for 3rd/DPC.

No T_mino + even J_minoL_mino 2nd - Sometimes tricky but 100% 2nd PC, typically difficult and slightly worse saves for 3rd/DPC.

No T_mino + even J_minoL_mino 2nd -

Blitz/Ultra​

Jaws is better for blitz/ultra because it has a higher point yield than PCO. This is thanks to a guaranteed TS0 (with chance of upgrade to TSD/TSS).
