Nigel Richards has made headlines by winning the French World Scrabble Championships multiple times despite not being fluent in the language (more on that in my video essay on him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-8NrvVqbT4).
He will play in the Spanish-language championships in November 2024 (see https://escribescrabble.blogspot.com/2024/09/nigel-richards-ahora-en-espanol.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawFns2hleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZZCy2i3825KnSAAyxuWZH-FLDUv7oMtZrUbg7G07_AOTd01y7RjWVzIPw_aem_1fTA7cLnP3qXU9nWTglP2g).

In that tournament, there are two modes of competition: "classical" Scrabble which is just the board game as we know it, and "Duplicate", which consists of each player being given the same letters and board position, with the task being to simply identify the highest-scoring move on the board regardless of what is the strategically best move.

In French, Nigel has absolutely killed that competition because he has memorized practically the entire dictionary and finds the moves with computer-like accuracy.

However, he did make some mistakes early on, missing a few top moves and making formal mistakes. Since then, he has played several tournaments where he spotted several hundreds of correct moves in a row (see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Richards).
This questions resolves YES if Nigel achieves a perfect score - no missed points, no disqualification, no formal errors - in each Duplicate competition he participates in at the 2024 Spanish-language championships. Resolves N/A if he doesn't participate in any Duplicate tournament.
