We have the electronic board working this round, and for its live streaming debut, it's Nigel Richards (NZL) and David Webb (Eng). It's an exciting bingo-filled game (SIENITE, RESTRICT and SENOPIA for Nigel, SLIEVES and PATENTEE for David).

Both players were very positive about the experience of playing on the board, and David called it "a great first step". The table is a little too wide: Nigel talked of "having to play leaning forward", but this will be fixed in a future iteration.

The automatic tile tracking and scoring were not very accurate, but we were able to correct the scoring every few moves. In the end, it was 500 for Nigel to 412 for David.
