Othello

[Neil Graham]

Looks as though we can put out the light on Othello then.

I thought that one had gone unnoticed.

Miles played a match Vs the Othello World Champion back in 1976, I think. One game of Chess and one game of Othello. I think it was one win each.
re tablebases of positions with a reduced number of pieces, this may perhaps intrigue...

Miles winning the Othello and his opponent the chess, one presumes?

"Excellent good!"

It is worth pointing out (IMHO) that Reversi / Othello is enjoyed by children who also enjoy chess, draughts and other strategy games.

Working with John Foley I have found the game to be popular with children in strategy games summer, Easter and Christmas camps for example.

One win each (I think!)

Ted Landau (1984 US Othello champion) wrote a very good book on it.

I played Othello in the 1999 Mindsports Olympiad at Kensington Olympia and was sat next to the Japanese world champion during one game. Unfortunately, he wasn't too impressed with my position!
