Nigel Richards(48)defeated a French-speaking competitor from Gabon during the final round of the tournament in Louvain, Belgium
Nigel Richards reportedly memorized the entire French-language scrabble dictionary in just nine weeks before the start of the tournament.
Nigel Richards's success is owed to his highly mathematical brain, experts in the game have said. He never showed much interest in language growing up and only picked up the game at 28 when his mother, Adrienne Fischer, introduced him to it.
Note
Nigel Richards has dominated the game in his native tongue too, winning world titles for English Scrabble in 2007 and 2011. He's also captured five U.S. national titles.
