Use Ctrl-Alt-+ and Ctrl-Alt-- to lower the resolution so you can easily read specials in your opponents well.
!!!Don't bother trying to get multiple rows out at once
It's a bigger goal to keep your well empty. A small well has a higher concentration of specials, and is safer from attack. A more full well is more vunerable to people playing specials on you. If you wait for a piece that is needed to remove multiple rows from your well you will only end up building your well higher.

+!!!Don't build towers
+It's tempting to place blocks one on top of each other to avoid covering holes and thus having a huge tower. This is a very vunerable position in tetrinet as most specials will ruin your nice new tower and will prevent you getting rows out, and someone getting a few rows out will of course push your tower up. Remember, if *any* block goes over the top of your well, it's game over.
!!!Specials
!!Try and collect as many specials as possible
Try and fill your inventory with good specials. You really want to have at least one nuke field/switch field or block gravity in your inventory at once. If you have worthless or minor specials (such as clear specials) try and play them to keep your inventory open for better specials.

Lets you swap a field with another player. Usually you wait until your well is pretty well buggered then screw it up some more (perhaps with some Add Rows) or just dropping blocks in awkward places and then swapping with an opponent. Try and swap with an opponent who has the lowest well. Tetrinet will clearline on switch if the well is actually completely full, and you want to leave yourself some breathing room if they have a switch field to switch field back.
!!Nuke Field (N)
Clears out the entire well. Play it on yourself. Wait until you're almost dead then play it, bewary of opponents having a switch field and soon after switching fields with you and stealing your hard earnt nice clean well.
+
+!!Block Gravity (g)
+Condenses your blocks vertically down to eliminate any spaces. Usually results in lots of rows and specials. This is a godsend if you have just been block bombed.
