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

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...

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.
