Ratings

I started playing Othello when I was 12 years old. At the time I realized how much easier math became, so I understood it was good for me to play, meanwhile it was great fun as well. There was also a rating system on the Swedish site and it became even more interesting to start progressing up the rating lists. I really enjoyed the game as it could shift so easily, just a small mistake and the game could be over. I understood quite soon that the game could be almost impossibly difficult. I played my first live tournament when I was 14.  

I remember it took some courage as I was quite shy at that time. I got better, had a break a couple of years, and then came back to play. The first tournament after my break was in Cambridge 2008. That was really fun, and felt as a new level, on many levels! Then I won the Nordic Championship three times and the Swedish Championship as well. I think Othello will be with me many years to come no matter what happens this WOC or what happens in life generally for that matter.

Marcus Frönmark has participated in 5 WOCs so far and WOC 2019 in Hong Kong will be his 6th World Othello championship competition!
