Games resembling checkers have been played for over 5,000 years.

The Russian chess player Garry Kasparov became the youngest World Chess Champion in 1985 when he was just 22 years old…but the world’s youngest chess grandmaster was crowned in 2021: American player Abhimanyu Mishra was just 12 years old at the time.

In a game of Scrabble, K is the only tile worth five points.

At the very beginning of a game of chess, there are eight possible ways to put your opponent in mate within just two moves.

The highest possible break in a game of snooker is 147 points. At the 1997 World Championships, British snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan scored 147 in just five minutes and 20 seconds.

There are more possible games of chess than there are atoms in the known universe.

In 2015, the official French-language Scrabble championship was won by New Zealander Nigel Richards. He didn’t speak French and had only started to learn the French word list two months before the competition.

Hello World
Image Credit: NASA, Reid Wiseman, Artemis II

Explanation: From pole to pole our fair planet is captured in this snapshot from space, an evocative image from a window of the Orion spacecraft Integrity. From the spacecraft’s perspective the Sun is moving behind Earth’s bright limb along the lower right. Africa and the Iberian peninsula are in view on the pale blue planet’s surface, while aurorae crown Earth’s south and north poles at top right and bottom left. Commander Reid Wiseman took the historic picture on Artemis II mission flight day 2 (April 2), after the completion of the planned translunar injection burn. That burn boosted the spacecraft out of Earth orbit, sending Integrity and crew on a trajectory that will take them around the Moon and back again. That’s a journey humans last made over 50 years ago.

Fun Facts…Games & Pastimes Part 2

The word TWELVE is worth 12 points in a game of Scrabble.

Originally, snooker only had five colored balls (red, yellow, green, pink and black). The blue and brown balls were added later.

The line a darts player must stand behind to throw is called the oche.

The most productive set of letters in a game of Scrabble is AEINRST. It can be rearranged to play nine different seven-letter words: anestri, antsier, nastier, ratines, retains, retinas, retsina, stainer, and stearin.

There is around a 15% chance that the seven tiles you pick out of the bag at the start of a game of Scrabble will be able to spell a seven-letter word.

Chess has been played for at least 1,500 years. But the alternating black and white board was only introduced in the late 11 th century.

Potentially, the highest-scoring word that can be played in a game of Scrabble is the chemical name oxyphenbutazone. That would mean playing your seven tiles across eight tiles already located on the board, in such a way that you hit all three possible triple-word scoring squares in a row! In the unlikely event that that would indeed happen, oxyphenbutazone would score you 1,778 points.
