National Scrabble Champion, Jim Kramer, Is Victorious Over Newly Launched RealArcade Version of SCRABBLE
To bring attention to its much touted role as the world’s largest publisher of casual games, RealNetworks held a SCRABBLE Man vs. Machine competition in Seattle pitting the 2006 SCRABBLE Open against the game developed by RealNetworks. The human won! 
Real crowned Jim Kramer, the National SCRABBLE Open champion, the winner of its Man vs. Machine contest and awarded him $10,000. Kramer lost the first two-out-of-three games and won the second. The tension was high among the crowd, as it seemed that the computer would win the third game, but Kramer pulled ahead and won by a single point on his last play of the game!
