Takuji Kashiwabara wins European Grand Prix 2013 


Francesco Marconi was #1 in the EGP 2013 ranking ever since the first tourney in Prague, but there was still a chance for Takuji Kashiwabara to win. The draw final in Paris between Keita Ohmori and Takuji Kashiwabara made things very complicated.

World Othello Championship rules

Dear all,

During last WOF Meeting in Leeuwarden, it was decided to ask the rule committee to review and propose updated WOC rules. The main discussion points were as followed:

1. Players with special needs
-> This technical point was suggested by Kelvin Yang and Randy Fang to have a written procedure dealing with handicapped players. We propose to add paragraph IV.10 to the rules.

2. Women's spot and team
-> Following last year discussion, we propose to slightly modify the team championship by allowing federations to send a full team (up to four players, no more than three being of the same gender) and counting the three best results for the team championship. That way, the women spot is no longer separated from the team.

3. Women's championship
-> Several proposals were made to change the format of the women's championship: separate rounds, semi-finals+finals, round-robin… We couldn't reach an agreement so we propose to discuss again at the next WOF meeting.

4. Taking transcripts
-> We didn't manage to arrive to a satisfactory solution last year and no new ideas emerged… so we propose to discuss again at the next WOF meeting.
You will find attached the proposed new set of rules, changes highlighted in red: paragraph IV.10 about players with special needs, and the modified team championship. Please review the rules and vote to accept or refuse each proposal.

Tanida Kunihiko wins US National Championship

New York, USA, August 24 - 25
Tourney format:  round robin or Swiss accelerated on the first day and a double round robin on the second day for the top 4

Ben Seeley, World Champion Othello in 2003 and 2004 is back at Othello tourneys and had agreed to play for the US team if he qualifies. He won his first WOC in Stockholm and I suppose he can not resist to return to the place where his Othello dreams came true. 
The top 4 of day 1, Tanida Kunihiko, Ben Seeley, Brian Rose and Jerry Hai qualified to play a double round robin on Sunday. Tanida won all his games in the 1st rr. but lost 2 games in the 2nd rr.. Ben started the 2nd rr. with only 1 point but won all his games. Brian won 2 points in each rr. The end result: each of the 3 former world champions collected 4/6!

Matthias Berg wins German National Othello Championship

Kelbra, Germany, August 17th - 18th
Tourney format: 7 rounds and finals


Not a big surprise that Matthias Berg won the German National Championship, but it was not an easy victory like in 2012. He lost 2 games on Saturday, against Daniel Rossler and Gunnar Bach. He would not have made it to the final if Gunnar Bach  had not overlooked a swindle in his game in round 7 against Frank Zimmermann. Then the final would have been played between Daniel Rossler and Gunnar Bach. In the final (best of 3) on Sunday Matthias beat Daniel Rossler 2 to 1, Daniel won the first game but Matthias won the next two games and scured his 12th German National Othello Champion title. He won the championship every year since 2001, except for 2008, when Andreas Höhne won his second Champion title. 

Matthias will play at the WOC 2013 in Stockholm. Gunnar Bach has already cancelled. The rest of the players will evaluate in the next couple of weeks, but Matthias is confident that Germany will send 3 players to WOC this year. No female player has been selected yet.

Ranking of the 8 players after round 7:

1:   6.  pts [282]   ROSSLER Daniel (70002) {DEU}
2:   5.  pts [298]   BERG Matthias (5301) {DEU}

"It was a wild endgame which lost many disks for me, but I had extreme time pressure: only 1 minute or so left (with flipping) for my last 7 moves after move 47 and I was totally confused and could not think. I was lucky I made it at all. "

Mathias Andersson wins Göteborg Open

Göteborg, Sweden, August 3rd
Number of players: 6

This was Mathias'  first tourney victory at Othello, congrats Mathias! Runner-up was Niklas Wettergren and third place for Oskar Eklund.

"It was an exciting tournament where Mathias lead with 3 points after 3 rounds.  Niklas defeated Mathias in round 4 and took the lead with 3.5 points.  Both Mathias and Oskar had one loss (against Niklas). The final round 5 became  a game for second place and a potential first place, if Niklas would lose to Michael. Michael played very well and won 28-36, which meant that the victory was between Oskar and Mathias who played a crucial match, where Mathias won out and took home his first tournament victory".

New Page: European Grand Prix Statistics

One of the Othello players who worked very hard to keep the Othello Wiki Book Project up-to-date, was Tom Schotte (Belgium). It really is a great pity that a valuable source of information as the Othello Wiki Book is gone forever, but Tom keeps digging in the Wiki Archives and has agreed to upload a lot of interesting stuff to this page in the months to come.
