T-spin doubles are easy to explain. Imagine this setup:


XX*
X.**X
XX*XX
XXXXX


If you rotate right, the T will snap into place and clear two lines. (If you rotate LEFT it'll snap down too but it'll only clear one line and leave a blocked-off hole... probably shouldn't do that.)

T-spin triples are definitely harder to spot if you don't know about them in advance. Here's the typical setup:


XX*
X***
X.XX
X..X
X.XX
XXXX


If you rotate clockwise here, the only valid place for the piece to come to rest would be inside the T-shaped hole.

(EDIT: Finally got a 1st place.)
