830 Scrabble Player Highest Game Scores Record Set

by editor

So, since these two Scrabble players don't deem themselves Scrabble Experts, their highest scores in the game should not be considered a record? :
 
"If they weren't really trying to win," an intermediate-level [Scrabble] player named Mike Eldeiry wrote on the Crossword Games-Pro message board, "then can we really consider it our [Scrabble] record? Fun, yeah. Neat, sure. Promotable, why not? But record, ummmmmmmm, I don't know."
 
You don't know?
 
"Eldeiry told me the game reminded him of a 600-foot batting-practice home run. If [Scrabble] experts always shot for the moon, he said, "I think they'd have cracked 850 by now. But they'd have lost a lot of games in the process."
 
So, because Scrabble "experts" don't want to take risks because a game might be lost "in the process," all non-experts (even though they've obtained higher scores, so apparently have done something correctly in the game) should not be considered for setting the game record? hmmm....
