I think one of the things that stopped me from ever truly committing to othello, is that at least, in an abstract sense, thet game isnt terribly far away from...
Hello Dan, I disagree that the game will change in dynamics when Othello gets solved. Already today we have more than 100 opening lines that leads to perfect...
"Poker will be the next game to be solved" -- That's pretty laughable to me. Before poker is solved, one might try another game, like duplicate bridge. Both ...
Yes, I know what you are getting at with poker. I think that in this case it is a question of building a program that are able to win the majority of games,...
I certainly enjoy poker from a more mathematical perspective, and can enjoy the element of luck, but I also enjoy games where luck is not really an element at...
I have just uploaded the transcripts from the National Open into the files section of this group. They are not quite ready to be added to Thor. I'm hoping to...
Thank you. I tried to contact Cathy - Clarence Hewlett's daughter - but if that doesn't work, I'll try the British Federation. Andrea ... Hi, I remember that...

I noticed it says 30 moves per game per side but aren't there instances where peoples turns get skipped and you end up making more then 30 moves? ~Colin ... ...
30 minutes it should have said, of course. ... The tournament to decide the U.S. Champion will be held once again in New York City on Saturday and Sunday,...
Drunk driving and DWI are common words in our every day speech, which should tell us something about the extent and familiarity of this growing problem....
I am in New York and have six boards and at least four good clocks (two look kind of funky). I should have mentioned it weeks ago. Sorry I've been absentee...
It's great to hear from you again, Eddie :). You are a very responsible individual, but I know that sometimes life gets crazier than we can handle for a time...
Eddie Williams is the new 2007 U.S. National Othello Champion. He won the 2007 Clarence Hewlett Memorial tournament by going undefeated in the final ...
Wow, major congratulations to Eddie :). I guess those crises kept his brain in good shape! Congratulations to Yohannes, too, and it seems like Randy and Jian...
Congratulations "Eddie"! I wasn't aware Cathy played Othello. Apparently she's good at it too. I'll make sure to print and post the standing since my...
Thank you all! I'm still in a bit of shock myself. Colin asked me early on the second day if I was nervous. I said "no", which was true, but I also said I...
I'm sure you're right about the ratings...your intuition is pretty good and my history has been pretty lousy on such things. I'll recheck the calculations --...
I will not be able to attend this years WOC. Good luck to Eddie, Randy and Yohannes. I'm sure they will represent the USA team well. Frank Armatys Associate...
Congratulation to the victory Eddie! I would also like to cheer a bit for Yohanes and Eddie winning the endgame prize! The trophy indeed seems to be quite...
For Henry, who wanted to know what the trophy looks like, these are ... this year, although we did make a few things, including the trophy. Since you won't be...
Thanks alot Ben :) Wow! I can imagine the depth of the malachite green and azurite blue when looking at it with correct lighting. Truly an amazing trophy and...
Thanks! I tried to post some pics I took of the trophy but it was too much for the upload. The pics that Ben sent are better anyway. Thanks Ben :) "Eddie" ...
