    Yes they should. I get pissed off with the current scoring system.

    I have trouble with Scrabble as I suffer from acute dyslexia.

    I once put a triple word score down that said XJKZNN, I thought it should have won me the match but my mate said "We're playing Monopoly you thick cnut!"

    What about chess? There was some article in the metro yesterday saying that 600 million people play it every day.

    I was a chess champion when I was young. Won loads of tournaments undefeated. Even got a computer chess from Santa one year.

    I'm so ashamed.

    What a geeky little twat I was when I was young. I read encyclopedias and collected stamps too.

    Thank god I turned into a shagging machine ladies man with a ferrari and a yacht and birds in every port and servants and money and multi-million pound businesses and drugs on tap, when I grew up.

    Or maybe I work in IT and have lots of debt and a moany wife.

    <cry>

    lions and giant killer bunnies and japanese soldiers.

    I was in the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York when in walked Bobby Fischer closely followed by Gary Kasparov. They stood in the lobby banging on about how many world titles they'd won, Bobby goes "I was the youngest grand master in the USA!" and Gary says "I beat Deep Blue, the smartest computer in the world!"

    I decided to leave. I was sick of Chess Nuts Boasting in an Open Foyer.

    I like scrabble bu am crap at it because I spend more time trying to put flashy words out than just keeping the score ticking over. I'm a bit like the Arsenal of the board game world.....
