Will Takuji Kashiwabara win the EGP for the 8th time? That would be a fantastic achievement! But maybe Marc Tastet will win for the 5th time. The last time Marc won was in 1997, it would be great for him win again after 17 years. Only 5 players at this tourney, absent top of the EGP 2014: Nicky van den Biggelaar, Imre Leader and Francesco Marconi. The players agreed to play a double round robin + final.
In 2013 we had only 5 players who played 4 or more of the EGP tourneys, this year we have only four. What needs to be done to attract more players?

Takuji's results in EGP 2014:
1st in Copenhagen 2nd in Krakow 3rd in Stockholm 4th in Rome 5th in Cambridge 6th in Den Hoorn In 1992 Marc Tastet was 1st in Milan, 2nd in Paris, 3rd in Cambridge, 4th in Brussels, 5th in Copenhagen. I know Takuji is very fond of number sequences, I bet he is very happy his sequence is even better. Marc Tastet commented that after his EGP victory in 1992, he also won the World Othello Championship. So this should be a good omen for Takuji. Marc wrote "Why not win the WOC this year? Do not miss your turn because next year it is that of Arthur Juigner to break the record of Kunihiko Tanida as youngest World Othello Champion". The French seem really anxious to set some records, but as far as the WOC is concerned, Othello News says "Go Nicky go! |
