Don't mind me sharing more #WillAnderson #Scrabble videos for the masses to feel less smart. Because, god damn does #NigelRichards make me seem stupid.

"For most grandmasters, Scrabble is about the intellectual challenge of solving the puzzle contained in every rack of tiles. Emotions are a distraction." —Stan Fatsis for Defector

This video by Alex Dings is incredible:

It's about Nigel Richards, the widely regarded best scrabble player of all time, by a huge margin.

Nigel is very interesting - he's the best, but also kind/wholesome and seemingly only plays because he enjoys the game. I love that!

The way Alex tells Nigel's story is also great: it's a fascinating and well explained narrative. The memes throughout are so good, too!
