Vint.ee and World Othello Federation organised online Othello tournament series in April.
To cover all timezones, 3 tournaments were played every day (90 tournaments in total!). 20 best tournament results were counted to overall series results.
During the month, 139 players participated from 31 countries, marking the series as the most international competition in vint.ee history.

David Hand from United Kingdom won the series. He participated in 52 tournaments and won 20 of them, earning 258 points in total. Burak Nedret Demirsoy from Turkey came to second place, earning 246 points and Olli Makkonen from Finland won the third place, earning 224 points.

Special shoutout to Burak Nedret Demirsoy from Turkey and Marco Bandiera from Italy who participated in an astonishing 78 tournaments (out of 90).

We want to congratulate the winners and thank everyone who participated!

What next?
We will make those tournament series regular: Probably 4 series per year.
The next one will already begin in June and will be in X-Othello
Any feedback is welcome!

Enjoy the spring!
