Hello all Othello friends! It is soon spring in Sweden and 27-28 May we organize the Stockholm Othello European Grand Prix. And we will welcome you to this...
Some time ago someone asked if there were any Othello players in the Silicon valley area interested in playing Othello otb. I found out Fabrice di Meglio is in...
Hello all! Two weeks left before the U.S. Othello Open. It's a scary thought for me because I haven't been able to study anything in the last month or so and...
The 2006 National Open will be held in the Chicago area on Saturday, July 8th and Sunday July 9th from 9:00AM through 6:00PM. Saturday will be a six round...
I hope that you guys do well at the open. I expect nothing less from you guys. Good luck Brian, Edmund, Ben and the rest of the U.S.Othello players. This year...

Before I forget, I thought I would suggest that this year, if we intend to eat at a restaurant that is likely to be busy, that we make reservations ahead of...
Holy cow! I just read the list of "probables" and realized I am in for a few hours of pure terror. Is there anyone in the tournament at my level? [Anyone at my...
Hehe, but with all of us around, you ought to learn plenty :) This is a common problem with the tournaments, though- the newcomers always get crushed and...
I'm not surely sure if this is true.. I'm also hoping I am not out of line by bringing this up. Jacky should probably be the one who says this: I believe Jacky...
It's also a pity that Othello tournaments are so competitive that every game counts quite a bit. So everybody tries hard to crush all the other opponents. ...
At least it beats the Olympics, where fractions of a second, and fractional coordination, have lifetime, and even national, impact. These Olympics have already...
... It only takes a fraction of a second for the clock's flag to fall :P Trying to look at as many positions as possible (for some) is crucial as well. The...
That sounds like my level, but unfortunately I am not attending the tournament :D Playing all the experts is kind of scary but they are usually pretty nice to...
... I have all of those thoughts, additionally: 4. "Now why did I play that move again?" and my personal favorite: 5. "Doh! I didn't realize that those disks...
... 6. "Wait a minute, why did I just play the first move that I eliminated?" 7. "What??? I thought I took the corner already... why did I make a move that...
Speaking of dinner, assuming that the number of players is fewer than 25 or so (history indicates that this should be almost guaranteed :P), I was planning on...
I'm so glad I wasn't able to talk you out of doing that :P Sweet! Okay, who wants to make the reservations? :P (We should have some kind of semi-formal...
Randy talked to me a little bit... sounds like the reservations could be made on Saturday or Sunday morning (if we also go out to eat Sunday evening)....
Hello everyone, I first would like to apoligize for my absence over the past year. I was extremely busy with work, school and in my spare time I was playing...
Welcome back, Rusty, it's good to have you :) I always like to hear good news from those who care to share- what has made your life easier recently? And how...
Thanks Ben, The biggest thing making my life easier was taking only 1 class at a time instead of two, so my schedules 8 am to 5 pm monday through friday and ...
... Wow, Daniel's getting married... now I feel so old :). Congrats to the both of them. Glad you have some more balance in your life, too. Hope you can enjoy ...
Rusty, Welcome back! Quick question: you once expressed interest in having your web site report tournament results round-by-round instead of aggregated....
Hey Rusty. The two weekends I am able to host the MD Open, assuming people still want it in September as WOC preparation, are September 9 and 16. If the...
There are at least two of us who would like the tournaments to be within a week of each other, so now I don't feel so selfish about suggesting that :)....
I'm not sure how I'd deal with them being a week apart, myself. I'm already making a week-long trip out of the U.S. Open, and since I'll probably go to Japan...
Don't know if anyone cares. I'm the one along with Ben who prefers a back to back tournament. One gaint tournament means a 4-day tournament event? :P Ed....
