Othello! JAPAN for スマートフォンオープン! /  Othello! JAPAN for Android and Smartphone

ようやくですが、スマートフォン版の COBRA を公開できるところまできました。

ガラケー時代のCOBRA(またはオセロ道場)を知っている人ならそれのスマホ版と思って下さい。知らない人はぜひ、下のサイトを見てみて下さい。

とにかくですね、オセロが強くなるために必要なアプリがそろってる感じです。

基本Webアプリとして作ってますので、AndroidでもiPhoneでも。

Free to play till July 12th

There are three web applications available. You can play a game against the Cobra computer (5 levels) or improve your endgame skills with the endgame-trainer. The site also offers an app for gameanalysis. It's all in Japanese, but I managed to register with the help of Google translator. My favourite app...,  the endgame trainer.

Stockholm, Sweden, June 8 - 9

"The Swedish Othello Federation celebrates its 30th anniversary!
Celebrate with us in various Othello tournaments and events. Stockholm Othello barbecue will be arranged and we promise a great Stockholm and incredibly good weather!

There will be a "normal" tournament but we are also planning a Team Tournament Othello outdoors (!), maybe an XOT tournament and much more! And Imre Leader's favorite barbecue! Finally!! :-)
Welcome!"

Daniel Turunen travelled 900 km  to Stockholm on the nighttrain, but the train arrived too late. He forfeited his game in the first round against Veronica Stenberg, but he won all the other games and so won the Stockholm Open 2013.

Mito Japan 2016: 4th OWC or 40th WOC?

Foto
The inventor of Othello, Japan Othello Association (JOA) Chairman mr. Goro Hasegawa, paid a courtesy visit to City Hall in Mito, accompanied by representatives of Megahouse.

The Japan Othello Association hosted the World Othello Federation's World Othello Championship every 10th year, 76, 86, 96, 06. In 2006 it was the 30th World Othello Championship organised by the World Othello Federation and it was held in the city of Mito in honour of mr. Goro Hasegawa who was born there.

Now the JOA seems to want to continue the 10-year tradition, but not with the official World Othello Championship within the WOF, but as a continuation of the Othello World Cup that they started in January this year.

Mito city council seems willing to cooperate to help the JOA to host another Othello event. The Mayor said,  "I think I would like the tourney held in Mito by all means and I would like to cooperate. Starting with the world champions, top players of Othello from across the globe. I think it is possible to send to the world the name of Mito, and lead to the bustle of the city."

I hope to get an official reaction from the WOF council. So, more to come..........

Reaction by Tor Birger Skogen, President of the WOF

Anjar and Megahouse together with WOF have organized the World Othello Championship (WOC) for many years. Because of an ongoing conflict between Anjar and Megahouse (which does not involve the WOF), WOF have decided that as long as the conflict lasts WOF alone will be responsible for organizing WOC.
 
WOF have announced that the WOF World Othello Championship will be played in Stockholm 23-26 October this year. WOF’s intension is to continue to organize WOC the coming years, and as long as the Othello World Cup is a tournament based on specially invited players there should be no conflict between Japan Othello Association organizing Othello World Cup and WOF organizing WOC.
