Highly intellectual, vintage tournament Othello game, made by Gabriel, age: 8 years - to adults. Although there have been a few different versions of how the game Othello came about, the person who defined the modern game of Othello was undoubtedly Goro Hasegawa of Japan. He invented the game in 1971 with rules that made the game playable with general simplicity yet combined with complex possibilities. As the founding father of Othello, he has made it a point to attend the most prestigious Meijin-Sen Tournament in Japan every year as much as possible. Till today, he still attends the Meijin-Sen Tournament among many others and confers players with honour. The Rise of Othello After Othello was invented in 1971, the popularity of the game grew tremendously and game sets were produced in a large scale for the consumers of the world. According to the game's International Licensor, Anjar Co., over 40 million sets of Othello have been sold worldwide. This does not even include the great number of "Reversi" sets that have been also sold worldwide which are in fact the same game. Othello's distinct colours are green, black and white. The colour of the board is usually green with black lines defining the playing regions. The discs are two sided with black on one side and white on the other. World Othello Championship (WOC) Since the year 1977 when it was held in Tokyo, the World Othello Championship has been held annually across the globe consecutively till today. This most prestigious Othello tournament has seen the birth and rise of many legendary players such as Hiroshi Inoue, Ken'Ichi Ishii, Hideshi Tamenori, David Shaman, Takeshi Murakami, Ben Seeley and more recently, Takanashi Yusuke and Suekuni Makoto who all have at least 2 World Champion titles to their names. Participating in the World Othello Championship often gives players greater exposure and opportunities to get to meet new friends. The Strongest Man in Othello History Defined by his stunning total of 7 World Championship titles to his name, Hideshi Tamenori is widely recognised as the strongest man to ever play the game justified by his dominating number of World titles. Second to him, are Takanashi Yusuke, David Shaman and Takeshi Murakami who each have 3 World titles to their name. Hideshi Tamenori triumphed in the years, 1986 in Tokyo, 1988 in Paris, 1989 in Warsaw, 1990 in Stockholm, 1995 in Melbourne, 2005 in Reykjavik and finally his last title coming back in Tokyo in the year 2006.
