When I'm in a time scrabble I still try for 'Oxyphenbutazone', which, positioned correctly, is worth 1778 points - that'll go close to winning me the game.

You can only place 7 tiles at once, so...

I'm putting 7 tiles on and adding to 8 letters (butazone) already on the board - it has to be done across 3 triple word scores - a one in a Million chance.

O.K., but be warned, I know hundreds of different Chinese dialect words that you've probably never heard of. Smile

I'm going to turn "violent" if this 'looser" thing goes on much longer.

Your belt may be too loose, but no one, I mean no one looses a chess game.

There have been several threads helping members with their grammer in this regard. In general, staff and members agreed a 1 month suspension or until the offenders spell "lose" correctly is in order.

btw, if your going to play scrabble with words of all languages sloppily transcribed into roman letters then it is Simply not fair.  full stop.

 

besides it is well known that angry people can't spell worth a darn.  I don't know what is wrong with the rest of us...

There is always the story of the unnamed Soviet scientist in Antarcticia who killed an unnamed chess opponent on some uncertain date in the 1950s.

In chess you can promote a pawn to a pawn, but it's useless. You might as well just take it off the board unless you use the pawn to block the 1st and 8th rank, so that it's difficult for your opponent...

Incorrect. ... rules state the pawn must be promoted and can not remain a pawn. Why "make up" false rules?

USCF 8F6. Pawn promotion. On reaching the last rank, a pawn must immediately be exchanged, as part of the same move, for a queen, a rook, a bishop, or a knight as the same color as the pawn, at the players choice.
