Mike Wolfberg's 692-Point Game with Six Bingos

January 14, 2013 - Boston, MA Scrabble® Club

Mike's opponent was an experienced novice player whose strength is variable. Mike opened the game with bingos on his first two plays, and he then played two more on moves 6 and 7. His other bingos were on moves 11 and 14. His opponent did a lot of trading and passing in this game, and she maybe made a challenged phony or two. Mike's records did not note a reason for each of the seven 0-point plays. His opponent passed a few times when her rack was very good, but she found no good plays. One became available after Mike opened up a high-scoring spot for her Q.
