Welcome to Episode 30 of Scrabble History, a series where I break down some of the most incredible plays, epic rivalries, and amazing moments in Scrabble's rich competitive history.

Pakorn Nemitrmansuk of Thailand is one of the best players in Scrabble history. But he hasn't competed in international rated competition for almost 10 years. That's why I was stunned and thrilled to see his name on the list of entrants for an upcoming tournament in Bangkok. In this video, I'll try to explain why this news is such a big deal in competitive Scrabble.

Sometime soon, I plan to resume streaming on my Twitch channel:
