Friendly family event in Ostend

On the occasion of a family gathering at the Schotte family home in Ostend, a small Othello tournament was organized. Eight out of nine family members took part.
We witnessed a strong comeback from Bram Schotte, who, as the third seed, managed to defeat the fourth- and fifth-ranked family members. His last tournament appearance was in 2011. His brother Tom proved too strong in the final round, remaining undefeated throughout.
Additionally, Annie Flockman participated for the first time since the Belgian Championship in 2021. Finally, Jean-Pierre Schotte made his debut at the age of 68.
