Here are some game boards from day 1 of the UK open scrabble championships courtesy Austin Shin:
UK1: L 357-471. Couldn't get going as he gets unprized, ibogaine, sanitate. Not much going on here as I couldn't bingo though could still win if his final bingo didn't land and I could get one myself 0-1 -114 #scrabble pic.twitter.com/uLV0HxNADH— Austin Shin (@austinho9) January 5, 2018
UK2: L 428-559. He had 415 after first 6 moves, crucially failed to challenge precavas* 🙈 which may have stopped him in his tracks. Really bad error and now find myself at 0-2 -245. Still 28 to go at least! #scrabble pic.twitter.com/KHoak74WAE— Austin Shin (@austinho9) January 5, 2018
