Scrabble giant, Nwali, guns for glory at 5th Janet Adowei Memorial Scrabble Championship

Posted : 14 November 2024

Enoch Nwali, the immediate past African champion, has revealed his resolve to be among the top performers at the 5th Janet Adowei Memorial Scrabble Championship, holding this weekend in Lagos.


The national champion has achieved success at various championships, including the highly entertaining duel with the current African King, Timilehin Doko, at the Ultimate Scrabble Showdown. However, the soft-spoken "Jammer" appears to have slowed down at recent tournaments, according to observers.

A look at the charts of the Lekki Scrabble Classics, the African Championship, and the recently concluded South-West Opens reveals that "The Drummer Boy" may need to "beat" himself back to his high standards, which the JAMSC now presents.


But he was cautious in his aspirations.


Known for his offensive, rapid style of play on the board, the 2022 EEAST winner knows that nothing is guaranteed in the playing arena, regardless of status, much like the art of picking tiles from the tile bag.


"My main objective at the 5th JAMSC will be to give a good account of myself, which will mean placing in the top 3 at the end of the event," Nwali said.


Among those who will be heading to the Chevron Recreational Club are his friend and rival Doko, current sensation Grand Master John Aiyedun, as well as other proven battlers who have titles—and perhaps scars—to show for it.


"I need a lot of rest this week," he admitted, "because I have been on the road for the past two weeks since our return from Kigali, Rwanda."


Enoch will now prepare himself for a prime performance at the big Scrabble show starting this Saturday.


Contestants will compete through a total of 18 rounds, with the top winner taking home 750,000 naira and a trophy.


Host Engr. Ebikeme Adowei has placed all cards on the table for another exciting fiesta at the ever-exciting Janet Adowei Memorial Scrabble Championship.
