Parece una exposición relacionada con los juegos de mesa. El Othello es mencionado varias veces.

Juego entre dos personas que comparten 64 fichas iguales de caras distintas, que se van colocando por turnos en un tablero dividido en 64 casillas
Este jueves, 3 de diciembre, hay exhibición en Zaragoza (bien en el centro):
El cartel (se puede agrandar cliqueando) lo he obtenido del siguiente blog:

From family fun with old favourites to devilishly difficult number-crunching quizzes, Kate Watson-Smyth selects the table-top pastimes to while away those rainy daysNuestro juego tendría que estar el primero... y evidentemente lo está.
With a few notable exceptions (War on Terror and Carcassone) this misses most of the interesting games available in favour of tired old tat. It's as if someone wrote an article on Best Meals Out and confined themselves to visiting MacDonalds and Burger King. Where are modern classics like Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico, Ticket to Ride and so on?Ya se sabe. La mayoría de gente que participa en foros de periódicos acaba algo tocada (si no lo estaba ya). Mira que comparar el Othello y otros grandes juegos con ir a comer al McDonald's.
Since noone had any objections, we are officially organizing it in Buenos Aires on April 3rd-4th (Easter Weekend) 2010. I am coordinating with Daniel Olivares and I will announce the location, format, and other details once we figure them out. I hope to see some of you there.Es apreciable el esfuerzo de organizar un torneo de estas caracterísitcas, aunque sin duda será muy bonito un torneo con gente de tan variadas nacionalidades.

At the 33rd World Othello Championships, the EurothFed has held a meeting with only one topic: the EGP Series format.Y no se sabe más.
The following decisions have been made:
- The upcoming two years there will be an EGP series format of 6 EGP's per year where both at the end of 2010 and 2011 a new European Champion will be crowned based upon the current point system and counting the 4 best results.
Cuentan los 4 mejores resultados de cada jugador.
- The current 12 organising countries have been divided into 6 groups of 2 countries, which are the following:
- Belgium / The Netherlands
- UK / France
- Italy / Spain
- Denmark / Germany
- Czech Republic / Poland
- Sweden / Norway
Estamos en el grupo: España, Italia. Es decir, el año que haya EGP en España, no lo habrá en Italia, y viceversa.
- Before November 21st - 20:00 (CET), paired countries could agree when they want to organise their EGP (2010 or 2011). If no agreement has been made, the country who will organise in 2010 will be picked at random. The other country in the group will organise in 2011. Tom Schotte and the European representative of the WOF Milosz Cupial) will conduct the draw by webcam.
Antes del 21 de noviembre hay que ponerse de acuerdo con Italia para ver quién organiza el EGP en 2010 y quién en 2011. Si no se alcanza el acuerdo, Tom Schotte y Milosz Cupial (nuevo representante europeo ante el WOF, sustituyendo a Tom si no recuerdo mal) lo sortearán.
- As soon as the 6 countries are known, the dates of the tournaments will be picked.
- This system is a try-out. It will be analysed and evaluated at the end of the 2011 season. At that point the system could change again. If is decided to keep the system, countries will be enable to leave the EGP series and other countries could be allowed to join the EGP series.
(outside the decisions: it would seem logical that the 6 countries who are granted an EGP in 2010, could pin their dates first. If other countries still want to organise an international event, it would be better to await the EGP calendar 2010)
Solicitan que si no te toca organizar EGP en 2010 pero vas a organizar alguna otra cosa internacionalmente ese año, esperes al calendario del EGP de 2010 (que a saber cuándo saldrá).

This change could lead the European Grand Prix Cycle into a new decade and is a solution for the growing pressure on scheduling tournaments
* the raised costs to enable competing for the European title
* the average tournament attendance.
In general when it comes to 'less tournaments = more players' this is far from a valid truth. Atleast not in Sweden where travel distance can be quite long. We have been trying out different numbers of tournaments over the year and cannot see any correlation between number of tournaments in total and the attendance per tournament.
Es interesante conocer la experiencia de otros países y según afirma no está clara allí la relación entre número de torneos y participación.
So... 'Nag nag nag, dont you have anything constructive to say Mr.Aspenryd?'
Well, if the scheduling is a problem I would suggest keeping all EGP tournaments as they are (12 atm), lower the number counted to 4 (as Tom suggested), and schedule tournaments that are far apart (like Stockholm - Spain, UK - Italy) at rougly the same dates. Its probably easy to see what tournament pairs never had the same players. Having 12 tournaments and only 4 count might make it tight in the top and we might even get 2 players or even 3 with the same score. Im aware of this problem but think its a lesser problem than what might occur if we remove 50% of the tournaments every year.
Sugiere agrupar en el tiempo torneos geográficamente distantes. Por ejemplo, Suecia y España.As for better attendance I strongly suggest more tournaments but no necessarely with stronger competition. We have seen that if we have a tournament with few players that are high ranked, the low ranked players will decline the tournament signup the week before it starts. They simple dont want to go there to play sandbag. If we have more low ranked players it gives us even more signups, first from other low ranked players 'Ok I will get a beating but atleast I will win some games!' and when they sign up the medium ranked and high ranked players that where uncertain before sign up aswell 'Hey everyone else is comming I dont want to miss out on that tournament!'.
Y termina con más reflexiones sobre la participación.
