(If we are really going to get picky about which set of Tetris rules we are
playing...)

Given that we want to follow "internet standards"... the version Im thinking of does
have a keypress toggle to change preview on/off, but doesnt penalize points wise [1]

I dont think the arcade machine, however, had an option - you had piece preview even
in multi-player mode. That and the stupid histogram thing that apparently vindicated
its random number generator...
