The best way to do this is to "stalk" the A.I. Let them do the hard work of finding pieces that fit whilst you take the points

Watch them pick up a piece and see where they take it to. If it look like they're about join two pieces together, simply pick up the other piece. The A.I should put down it's piece, leaving you to drop yours and claim the points.

I found this easiest on the picture of the owl.

Very good strategy. I had an easier time on Expert, since the flipping and rotating slowed the AI down. I used the 4 seasons surfboards. Near the beginning, while they were busy flipping, I was building the words for some easy points.

Set up a Local Multiplayer game with two bots on Beginner.

Choose a puzzle that has clearly defined shapes and contrasting colours to make it easier on yourself. I recommend the one with the four snowboards painted to represent the four seasons. This one can be set to 100 pcs, which is the minimum you require.

Try to do your work off to the side from the rest of the pieces, you'll find it much easier and for the most part the AI opponents leave your pieces alone and grab more from the middle heap.

Simply earn more points by assembling more pieces than both of the bots and you will unlock the Achievement when the puzzle is completed. Remember that quick assembly will earn you combo bonuses which the AI seldom seems to get.

I beat two Ai using seasons and had exactly 100 pieces. But got no achievement. I think it cant be exactly 100 pieces. Has to be more. I try again some other time.

From the Main Menu select Multiplayer, then select Play Same Console in Classic Mode. Press right on the two times to enter two bots into the puzzle. Press to start and choose Picture Puzzles, then choose Amazing Stories - June 1940 or any puzzle you are more familiar with.

Once you've decided your puzzle choose these settings:

Experience Level - Beginner
Number of Pieces - (lowest amount passed 100)
Piece Shape - (any)

The strategy is to connect more pieces than both AI players. To do this you will need to use some form of cheating to make it a little easier. AI players pick up pieces and place them when they find the right piece, what's faulty about this is that they hover over the piece they are about to connect for several seconds (allowing you to move that piece). If you move the piece in time the AI player will just simply put the piece back on the table, allowing you to connect the piece afterward.
