Do you have a favorite game?

Yes......Othello. I am the network head administrator of the greatest game in the world. OTHELLO. Also on NING. (www.othelloclub.ning.com)
It's wonderful to see that we have over 350 members to date of all ranks. We have over 200 members that are ranked top 500 players in the world. 2 of which are former world champions. Many out there see the game, but don't realize that the game goes much farther than the Mattel board sold at Toys R Us. Every single year the World Othello Championships is held in a different country around the world. I am here to help those interested in learning the game and for those who wish to know of wonderful places to play.
