Fiches


Description
Donato Barnaba and Michele Borassi, from the Italian Othello club in Milan, some years ago asked to a factory that made fiches for casinos to paint them differently on the two sides. Then took plywood with the size of a classic Tsukuda (or maybe a little larger) and covered it with green canvas, and finally drew by hands the rows of the boards with a large pen. They made a lot of these boards, that are currently used for tournaments. They are among the best boards I have ever seen: the usability is perfect, the look is that of professional board, the discs are heavy and cold, and it's a pleasure to flip them.
