It is my intention to continue playing tournament Othello for a long time to come. I want to thank everyone who has supported my events and my love of the game over the years. The Othello community is truly special. Thank you all.

​David Rockwell

Lots of reactions of Othello players on this annoucement. To sum it up: David did a great job and the Othello community is grateful for all the work he did for USA Othello. I met David and his wife Linda at the WOC in the Netherlands in 2012 and they are really wonderful people.
