Scrabble - double

A female Scrabble player from Malaysia has announced yesterday on Facebook that she's in relationship with a male Scrabble player from Sweden.

I played both of them at the World Scrabble Championship in Malaysia last year so I'm very happy for them.

Parlez-vous Scrabblaise?

Our Polish friend Milosz is in Montpellier since last week playing in the World Championship in French Scrabble.

He did reasonably well in the individual competition - placing 78th out of 81 competitors with a record of 4-10. 
It's a good result - I wasn't better in my debut either ;)

Now Milosz is going to compete in the Duplicate competition which in France is even more prestigious than the individual one.

Bonne chance, Milosz!

Fan page on facebook

I started my first ever fan page on Facebook. 

It's called Scrabble po angielsku (Scrabble in English). 

It's meant to help Polish people find other people willing to play Scrabble in English... in Poland :)

So far I have only one fan - me :))

World Scrabble Championship 2010

It starts in exactly one week from now in Montepellier, France. Mind you - it's Scrabble in French.

For the first Poland will have its representative there. It's Milosz Wrzalek - a nice guy from Reda who refereed the English Scrabble Championship in Poland last year.

He will complete in both tournaments - regular and duplicate Scrabble.

All the best, Milosz!

German Open

Thanks to Facebook I have learnt today that there is a tournament planned in Germany next year.

The 1st German Open is going to take place 11th - 13 March 2011 in Mannheim.

I'm seriously considering passing on UK Open 2011 and start saving money for Germany and maybe WSC 2011 - wherever it's going to be.

If I fail to qualify for the WSC I would still be able to take part in Causeway Challenge 2011 or UK Open 2012.

2011 is going to be a pretty interesting year.

And now back to Zyzzyva...
