My favorite nigel story is he was in 2nd place in going into the last game of the North American scrabble championship against David Gibson (another scrabble GOAT, arguably the best player in north america at the time). If he won the game they'd be tied in record, with the tie breaker being spread (highest cumulative score differential). However, because Nigel was already behind in spread, not only did he need to win the game, but he needed to win by at least 170 points. Keep in mind David Gibson is not only one of the greatest to ever play, but also notorious for his defensive style and was trying his best to lock down the board and keep Nigel from scoring, since a low scoring game would ensure he wins the championship even if he loses the game. Nigel won by 177.

I also like that in Scrabble, playing words that don't exist is actually completely allowed, and it remains on the board unless your opponent calls you out on it, then you have to take it back and skip your turn. I have 2 things to share about Nigel Richards related to this fact. 1. When Nigel went to play in the French World Scrabble competition, French players refused to take him seriously at first and tried playing words that didn't exist to get extra points because they didn't think he'd catch it since he doesn't speak French. Not a single one got past him. So not only did he memorize every word in the French Scrabble dictionary in 9 weeks, but he could also tell you with 100% certainty if a word wasn't even in the book. 2. Nigel sometimes misspells words by accident, Like one time when he tried to spell "Hairnets" but accidentally played "Hiarnets," or when he tried to play "Bhgee"(I have no clue what this word means either, but it IS in the Scrabble dictionary) but accidentally played it in the wrong column, spelling "Bygee," which isn't a word. However, these rarely ever get called out because Nigel Richards is so unbelievably dominant in the Scrabble world, that his opponents are too scared to even try suggesting that something he played isn't a word.

Apparently Magnus Carlsen basically plays to draw instead of win.

Nigel is like the Socrates of 21st century, he's just the best at it, barely any knowelege actually comes from him, no one will ever get close to him, his reasonings are purely rumour and his wisdom is insane

Something more you need to realize is that although Nigel's win rate is "only" 75%, that isnt talking about the win rate of tournaments, thats just his average games. He Wins WAY MORE tournies than just 75% lmao

Fun Fact: Most Scrabble players have no clue what the words they play mean. High-level Scrabble becomes a test of memorization and probability rather than vocabulary, one where the words act as a giant rulebook. If you’re interested in learning more Will Anderson is a great Scrabble channel to learn from. Also, Huggbees has an amazing one-off video about the greatest Scrabble player of all-time, Nigel Richards.

I can't say I would be nearly as good at Scrabble as Nigel, but the quote about hearing a word once and recalling an image of it is relatable. I feel like I hear a word once, and five years later, I can remember to use it in a similar context. Like, how many people can randomly remember "fortitudinous" is a word? Being a walking thesaurus hasn't helped me once ever since I left high school and stopped being forced to write pointless English essays, but who knows, maybe I could've been a world professional Scrabble player if I cared.

My problem is that while I know the word, I can't recall it out of context. I might consider fortitudinous when describing the digestive tract of one who has recently ingested Taco Bell with no apparent ill effect, but I wouldn't recall it in scrabble. I also don't know the 'loan words' competitive scrabble allows like suq/souq, which google says is a type of market in Arabic. I would not generally consider such words 'valid' English personally, as they are neither Anglo-Saxon or Norman derived, such as Heath or Progeny, respectively, nor are they in common usage like Taquito.

Playing just AU in AUF to block the opponent's possible last bingo. Not only that, based on unseen to go with his leave, he had a chance to win if he drew the right combination to hit SILIQUA or SILIQUAE in separate spot. This was just insane mind! Watch it in Will Anderson Vlog, entitled like "My favourite play of Nigel Richards is AUF."
