James Krakowsky has been in such top form that he has carted off the spoils in the two most recent tournaments staged by the Guyana Association of Scrabble Player (GASP). He will attempt to extend his good fortunes when the top seeds compete in the GASP Open Scrabble Championship slated for the Malteenoes Sports Club Thomas lands, Sunday March 17 next.
Krakowsky had finished with an impeccable 6 points and a positive spread of 1045 in the most recent tournament but despite his dominance, will have to be wary of Moen Gafoor, who had finished just behind him with 5 points and a positive spread of 579 after losing his only game to Krakowsky by a spread of 89 and should he manage to break the jinx that had relegated him to the second place spot, could emerge victorious.
While these two are touted as the front runners to cart off the spoils, they are warned that the lower seeds are coming into their own as in the previous tournament when Wayne cave broke into the limelight with a third place podium spot.
The players from the Enterprise Scrabble Club have also shown vast improvement and Anand Mohabir has distinguished himself as a cut above the rest in the last few tournaments.
The situation becomes more dicey when one envisages the return of National Champion, Abigail McDonald, her predecessor, Fred Collins, Grace Hercules and Leon Belony among others. With such a high profiled bunch the rivalry will be intense and Krakowsky will be required to dig deep if he is to replicate his recent feats.
The registration period commences at 09:45hrs while the first tile will be placed at 10:00hrs. There will be lucrative prizes for the top three finishers plus a special prize for the best player outside of the top ten rankings. The entrance fee is $700 but players arriving before 9:45hrs will receive a $200 discount. Persons with clocks and boards are asked to have them at the venue at least 30 minutes before the start.
