Resolved
I've decided that after next year's WSC, I'm going to take a (probably long) hiatus from Scrabble.

Opened with Winter-- he bagged me, but he was due for it, I guess. I took a slim lead against Larry Sherman midgame, then turned the game into a Nigerian blockfest. Bingoed out on Karl Higby with iNCLOSE(D ( Read more... )
