Hobbies

  • Othello: A two-player strategy board game popular in Japan, I've been playing since 2002. I'm currently ranked 5th at World Othello Federation Ratings (Apr. 2020).
    You can learn the rule and basic strategies from a free e-book written by a former world champion Brian Rose here.

  • I'm also a fan of other board games including Go, Shogi (Japanese Chess), Backgammon etc.
