@@RicardGomes76 it is actually mandarin chinese haha

​@@OthelloAcademyXD

@@sgrass471 apologies, it was due to unexpected lack of memory or battery for the filming device for some of these cases, next one should be good

@@chrisfell2621 much apologies for the incomplete video due to battery or device issues

Maybe sad, not unfair

Btw I prefer your version.

@@srepmub Jan did reach out to me to reflect the same, I believe I used this version based on Singapore drafted rules once but it seems the WOF based rules make more sense. It would not be right for the non defaulting player to get extra 2 minutes to find a better than 33-31 position (maybe). But I did think since the defaulting player was given extra 2 minutes to try not to lose by a score worse than 33-31, maybe the non defaulting player should also be given the same. WOF rules are cleaner but in actual practice for Singapore (and HK/Taiwan tournaments), it seems most of us just adapt a 0-64 rule once we time out first time round (usually due to venue or schedule constraints). Thanks for pointing it out though!

We'll get to that ASAP

Unfortunately, handphone battery died midway through the game...

@@thomaskeith4407 谢谢支持，希望大家不嫌弃我那粗糙的中文

@@BrunoKoob66 it actually might be -8 but everyone plays opening with the understanding of the risk vs return of each opening i guess...its actually a very high risk opening...

Check out www.flipthedisc.com or www.liveothello.com

For sure, but the flipping technique is an essential part of the game and most top players are able to flip fast.

@@OthelloAcademy thats why i play online

There are usually 2 scenarios when someone times out depending on the specific tournament rules. Most Singapore tournaments employ an immediate loss of 0-64 once you time out, but World Othello Championships do allow you to complete your game with 2 additional minutes on the clock with the expectation that you will lose 31-33 in the best case scenario that you end up with 31 or more discs once the game is completed. If the final score upon game completion is 21-43 in favour of your opponent, then the final score will stand in favour of your opponent who has not timed out first. More details can be found in my "Standard Othello Tournament Rules" video. Cheers.

@@OthelloAcademy So, there is no case where you run out of time but are still able to win right?

@@alecaquino4306 for the world championship, if opponent purposely runs out of his time once after you run out of time first, and if he runs out of his additional 2 minutes given to him, he would lose 0-64 against you instead. Given he is already guaranteed a win regardless of board score once you time out once, there is no reason for him to time out twice.

@@varganyamuvek tough one

Hehe i wish i had more time to do that for you too, but do check out the exhibition games, those are designed to have the pros think through their moves aloud.

Thank you :)

No worries. I kinda stumbled upon your video randomly, and I was surprised by how almost relaxing it was.

@@BurgThePretentiousBastard thank you and welcome :)

@@OthelloAcademy 謝謝

Yeah, went back to focusing on capturing the sides and started dominating again

That is because you may not have complete mastery over mobility (minimisation still requires key disc or position control otherwise you may get wiped out), but capturing sides could also be controlling mobility. The differences can be a bit nuanced and subjected to players skill. If edge play works for you better, definitely use edge play. Dominate could be subjective in terms of levels though. The experimentation in different approaches should be an ongoing procesd for everyone, so whatever works for you :)

@@OthelloAcademy yeah, I'm getting better at it the more I practice
