Our Authors

The writers behind the BrainTileGame blog — each bringing a different angle to how we cover 2048, from the underlying math to practical strategy to what actually helps a casual player improve.

Richard Hale

Richard covers the math and probability side of 2048 — win-rate research, board theory, and what's actually provable versus what's just folk wisdom. Background in computer science with a long-running interest in solved and near-solved games.

John Bennett

John writes general strategy and gameplay guides, drawing on years covering puzzle and casual games. Focused on practical, testable advice rather than theory — the kind of tips that actually raise your score.

Zack Torres

Zack writes from the perspective of a everyday player rather than an expert — what's genuinely fun, what's frustrating, and what's worth knowing before you sink an hour into a session. A useful counterweight to the more technical coverage on this site.
