About How To Play SCRABBLE Like A Champion
Product Description While it can't be denied that word knowledge is of great importance in SCRABBLE, even more imperative is knowing how to play the game, and that's what this book is all about. Written for players of all abilities, How to Play SCRABBLE Like a Champion includes key strategies, the ins and outs of tournament play, detailed analyses of eight games played by experts, and a presentation of 40 remarkable plays. From openings to endgames and everything in between, this is how you play SCRABBLE to increase both enjoyment and winning chances. Review I think it's the best book on Scrabble that's been written, and I've already recommended it to several people. --John O'Laughlin, Quackle co-programmer and expert player An important update....This book discusses all aspects of Scrabble strategy in great depth, using numerous diagrams and examples. --R. Wayne, Schmittberger, Games Magazine, March 2011 An excellent book on the strategic aspects of the game...higher than Word Freak on my list of "books I'd lend out to someone considering tournament play." --Andy Saunders, tournament Scrabble player How to Play Scrabble Like a Champion is an indispensable treatise on Scrabble that delves into the deep nooks and crannies of the game, revealing the concrete strategies expert players have developed to master it. --Derek McKenzie, Word-Buff.com From the Author This book started off as a revision of my The Champion's Strategy for Winning at Scrabble Crossword Brand Game, which was published by Stein & Day back in the Dark Ages of Scrabble theory. Scrabble play has evolved considerably over the intervening years, and How to Play Scrabble Like a Champion reflects this evolution. It differs profoundly from my earlier book. The opening section of the chapter on strategy is of particular value, as it presents a series of rules for rack management versus scoring that you will not find anywhere else.
