Fatty Hologram's occasional Scrabble bragging

All games are played under American tournament Scrabble rules (TWL98). If you're an expert and are wondering why my "bragging" isn't too impressive, well, I'm still new at the game.

* I managed the unlikely feat of winning the first two times I played Richard Buck, and recently, in our third game, I came close to doing it again here. I believe there are only two playable bingos: one obscure word, and the one I found. Richard bingoed out a turn later to win by 7, but I was content to have come close. (From the Cambridge club, 5/30/03.)

* I was down by 63 points and the bag was empty, but I had a nice rack. Luckily, I also had plenty of time left to find a winning play. The board is here. (From the 2/22/03 Cambridge tournament.)
