I think you mean this one? Of course it's also possible that multiple people have published multiple proofs.

The proof itself is quite self-evident: given a perfectly randomly block generator, and infinite play time, eventually you're going to produce a very long sequence of left- (or right-) facing S-blocks. Since those are impossible to eliminate (there's always one block left open on a row) eventually you lose.
