Dusit Chinwattana and Anuwat Wongwiwat win Sosuco Othello Tag Team Tournament 

Bangkok, Thailand, 2nd December
Tourney format: 7 rounds

This was the first time the Thai Othelllo Association organised this type of team tournament and it was a great succes. This is a very fun event with 2 teams of 2 players at the board.  I am sure a tourney like this might help to attract more players to on the board tourneys.  The team players take turns at the board.  The purpose is to let strong players train weak players, but they have to do it before tournament. During the game, it's not allowed to talk about strategy.

Final Result:
