Yuji Miyazaki is 41st All Japan Champion. 
Yoko Sano is female All Japan Champion

Tokyo, Japan, July 14th
Tourney format: 6 rounds

I had an interview with Junya Ito right after his victory at the OWC in January and asked him what his next goal was and without hesitation he answered: "to win the All Japan 2013". He did not quite achieve that, but he won 5 out of 6 games. Last year's champion, Yusuke Takanashi, won 4 out of 6. He lost his first two games against Takahiro Kudasho and Makoto Suekuni.

Kunihiko Tanida: " I feel honored to have a chance to play in Stockholm again.

Matt Vinar wins Australian Othello Nationals

Canberra, Australia, July 6th
Tourney format: 6 rounds + 1-game final

It was another great Othello (also more commonly known as Reversi) tournament in the heart of our nation’s capital “Canberra 2013″ on the 6 July 2013.

All up we had 12 participants for the event at the AustralianNationalUniversity in the Hancock building.  As a group we decided to run with 6 rounds and one grand final.

The tournament was highly competitive, most notably at the top of the table clashes between Matt, Amy, Phil, Paul and the new comer Sam (playing only in his second tournament) and really starting to make an impact in the top of the table clashes.

Matt went undefeated throughout the tournament and Amy was the eventual runners up with a 40-24 win to Matt in the grand final.

The battle of the rookies came down to Christopher and Adrian, in the end Adrian managed to win a couple of games which meant that he was able to came away with the rookie prize.

All up everyone seemed to have a good time, it was a well run event. I would like to thank Amy and Paul for helping to organise the location and date, and for all the players for coming such a long way to play in this tournament.

Well done

Robert Girardo,
President Australian Othello
