Jerry Hai reports on makeshift Othello Tournament in Beijing
On May 29th, I met up in Beijing with fellow Othello players Yan Song, Baolong Jia, Tao Yu, and Yingchong Hu, and we decided to have an informal tournament at a local tea joint. Our plan was to play two consecutive 15-minute games with each player, once as black and once as white. However, we messed up the order in which we were to play each other, and didn’t finish the tournament as planned. Nonetheless, we all played some memorable games, and I’ve provided some commentary on my two games with Yan Song below.
|
Game 1: Yan Song 35-29 Jerry Hai
With a move 23 A4, Yan Song forced me into a relatively extreme situation where I’d have two adjacent odd edges without parity. However, instinctually I knew that this position was still relatively even, simply because other options would be giving up too much mobility or positioning to black. With little time left for both of us, Yan Song played a gutsy 41 G2. While this move was a losing move upon analysis, it not only caught me by surprise but created a variety of new lines to figure out to set up the endgame. With 44 H5, I played a fairly conservative move that happened to be incorrect in place of G7, which would have been a bold and fun move to play, as it leads to either a stoner threat or a blocking of E8 to prevent black from further attacking the A8 corner. However, by this point I was also effectively just trying to finish the game. Ultimately, what cost me the game was my hesitation in the final minute to either give up the A8 corner or to provide an F2/G1 swindle, surmising that doing so would cost me too many pieces. Thus, I made moves that protected A8 at all costs, and that ultimately ended up being the wrong moves to make. Whether or not I would’ve considered and giving up A8 in that situation with more time, I’m not sure. But nonetheless, it was fun game, one in which we both used up our entire clocks (Yan Song had 2 seconds left, I had 1). |

Game 2: Jerry Hai 32-32 Yan Song
Our second game led to yet another fairly extreme position, and once again I was left with taking an odd edge early. As the game goes on, I even end up taking two odd edges on parallel sides, to force white to play up top, seeing that most of white’s options leave me with fairly quiet moves to respond with. My first major mistake came with 39 F1, which I thought long about. While I did consider the correct move to D1, instinctively I simply didn’t like the future positions of that move. F1 was ultimately the wrong move because upon deeper analysis, it provides a swindle for white by keeping the B column white. Yan Song however played 42 B2 instead of D1, opting to directly use a parity force. Upon this move, my final decision of the game would be to figure out how to play out the bottom edge that I intentionally left untouched up to this point. I eliminated my options to C8 and F8, and opted for 47 F8 because I wanted to save C8 for white’s impending 48 E8. E8 however ended up being a wrong move in place of B7, which upon deeper analysis allowed white to keep parity with a future H7 attack. After Yan Song’s E8, we played out the rest of the game in fairly standard fashion, which resulted in a draw. |

Ben Seeley's Endgame Quiz continued 12-16
Olli Makkonen, 6 times Finland Othello Champion, responded enthusiastically to the first 2 batches of Ben Seeley quizzes. Here his view on why taking the time to solve these endgames, will eventually improve your game.
Here is another set of endgame puzzles by Ben Seeley. They all are black to play and win 33-31 with 6 empties. Most experienced players would say that playing 6 empties correctly should be rather easy, but here are good examples why that is not always the case. If you try to blitz through these, I will guarantee you will make mistakes!
I myself like to use these kinds of puzzles as an opportunity to improve my counting ability. With only 6 empties there are not too many lines you need to count, so with enough time, you should be able to find the winning ones.
Another valuable lesson is, that winning line is not always the one that stands out of the rest at first glance and thinking outside of the box is often beneficial.
So, thanks again Ben for sending these, and I hope you all have as much fun solving them as I did!
-Olli Makkonen

Othello is big in Japan and a lot of work has been done by many enthusiasts to make it that big. Still they work hard and keep promoting the game, to survive, like any other sport, you need fresh input and new players.

An all time maximum, average and minimum for all organising countries is represented below. The Netherlands is still well ahead of Sweden and France. It has to be said that some countries organise for almost 30 years, while some countries only had a small amount of tournaments. Therefore a second graph is present showing the same for the last 10 editions. Check out more EGP statistics at Tom's special pages

Othello fun at school
In preparation for the Antwerp Open Tournament, Jan van Damme introduced Othello at a nearby elementary school. They started the first lesson with the rules of the game and after that played a game. Important lesson too: games are more important than winning, fair play at all times and the kids also learned to congratulate each other on the success of the game, and to congratulate / thank each other at the end. Next session will cover opening game and some basic strategies as the importance of the corners, how do you shift the game to your advantage, and maybe even parity.
The intention is especially to show the children how much fun it is to play Othello and of course to have a well-filled beginner tournament on May 28th at the 12th Antwerp Othello Open
