Time for the most exciting morning of games at the NSC - 4 great ones on the morning of day 4. Heres the first one, a real thinker versus O. Jedley. I dont like to talk about luck at all, ever, because I dont think it is useful for helping my game (not that I deny its existence, or anything - I play Scrabble and not chess for a reason), but I think this game shows an example of a term that weve recently coined called tempo bagging. Im sure youve all had games where you always felt like you were a turn ahead of, or a turn behind your opponent. I think this feeling much more accurately represents the positive/negative benefits of luck in Scrabble - far more so than worrying about who got more blanks - a statistic I feel, by and large, is quite irrelevant, and is a huge hindrance for peoples improvement. I would go so far as to say, if you have the thought ugh, Im not getting enough blanks, or jeez, my opponent is getting all the power tiles, and you allow those thoughts to stay with you for even a few moments, you are drastically hurting your game. Just a thought, apologies for the arrogance, now heres the game. Its a good one: cross-tables/annotated.php?u=19341
