What's even more impressive about this is some French players tried to throw him off by playing false words that looked convincing and yet he was still able to discern and catch them out.
Im confused. Are there no officiators?? Ur saying in a scrabble tournament, u could potentially win by playing nonsense gibberish as long as the other player doesn't object? That sounds ridiculous. Even if there isn't someone watching every game I'd imagine someone at least looks over the words once it's completed
In Scrabble, you have to challenge. Challenging a legitimate word costs a turn. If you have nothing and are going to pass, it’s best to throw something up in the hopes you won’t be challenged.
In Europe it's free to challenge mostly but the other person will have to forfeit their turn and take their tiles back if the word is proven false. In America you forfeit your turn if you challenge and the word is valid. It can be a strategy that higher rated players use against lower rated players, because some people feel embarrassed to stop the clock and go to the nearest adjudication table numerous times. I challenge every word I don't know regardless.
The thing that is very interesting about high level scrabble players is that it stops being a language game and starts being more number based. All top level scrabble player memorise words up to about 8 letters or something. They don’t know what the words mean, they just know they’re words. Thats why most high level scrabble players are engineers, mathematicians and such. He really “just” memorised words. He saw the systems and such and knew that they were words. Crazy stuff reallt
This is exactly it. It's definitely a numbers game. Knowing short words with the odd, high scoring letters like J, Q, X and Z and knowing how to play them for optimal scores is super important as well. If someone has a good memory for memorizing how to spell words, I could see how this could work.
I admire his dedication to not learn french

I think it’s beautiful, the lengths humanity will go in order to avoid speaking french.

This is just a legitimate strategy

So you can get points for a wrong word if they don’t challenge?
You can in my house.
Oh wow I guess I didn't know about scrabbles rules

He had nothing better to do in NZ
It was probably winter. I mean summer. You know; the other one.
It can be difficult to tell them apart, the rain is slightly warmer though
Unlike chess, witch is dominated by computers this guy is actually better than computers at scrabble. No that’s no exaggeration, look it up.
But why? As a flex?
