My first 700!

In the recent Cape Town International tournament I scored 727 against current African Champ, Nsikan Etim from Nigeria. I added incorrectly and we both signed the score card as 725 vs 331, a difference of 394. A recount was the last thing on my mind as I was swept up in the emotion of the moment. Even despite the high score, I did not play a perfect game (that's a milestone for another day). My 2nd move of KESTREL (79 points) was inferior to SKELTER/SOOP (98 points). Ironically, if I had played perfectly I would probably not have made 725 which is a South Africa record. See the game on cross-tables here
