WESPA Championship GOA
In this month's Capgemini tournament, Nigel Richards and Goutham Jayaraman went head-to-head 10 times out of the total 34 games! The top spot was hotly contested, with each of them taking away an even 5 wins. Here's one of the games where Goutham clinched the win, with some detailed and informative commentary by Colin Northmore.
Nigel takes 15 minutes for one play and pulls off a miracle to win by 1 point. Get the expert analysis from David Eldar and Naween Fernando.
WESPA Championship GOA
Here's another video from CAPGEMINI INTERNATIONAL SCRABBLE TOURNAMENT-2019, round 15: Nigel Richards vs Thacha Koowirat . The audio comes in only after 18:47, after which you can hear the insightful commentary of David Eldar and Naween Fernando, peppered with entertaining banter.
A few moves later (at 22:30), 45 points behind Thacha, with 4 tiles in the bag, Nigel takes 13 minutes (running through all the endgame simulations mentally) for a single move! Watch as David and Naween try to break down his options, and how he still manages to surprise everyone, with a nail-biting finish to the game.
Reminder: The livestreams on twitch at www.twitch.tv/indianscrabble/videos?filter=archives&sort=time will be expiring in a few more days, so watch them while you still can. Other than that, we will continue to post some more top-level games here.
