Othello,
also known as Reversi, is a classic board game. Although
there is no formal proof of the game's origin, two
places have been suggested from its invention. One
is China, from a game called 'Fan Mian', the other
is from Lewis Waterman and John W. Mollett in 1888,
who made this game available. In about 1970, Goro
Hasegawa, a Japanese developed the modern rules of
Othello, and they are now formally adopted around
the world. The rules of Othello are much simpler
than many other board games. However, easy to learn
doesn't mean easy to play well. That comes from a
good saying, 'one minute to learn, but a lifetime
to master'!
Each
Othello checker is black on one side and white on
the other. Black plays first and places a checker,
black side uppermost, on any square on the board
such that he 'sandwiches' at least one of his opponents
pieces between the checker he has just placed and
any other of his colour already on the board. Play
continues alternately... First black, then white.
If at any time a player does not have a legal move
i.e. there is nowhere he can play that flips one
of his opponent's checkers, he must pass and his
opponent plays again. It is possible to pass several
times in succession. When neither player has a legal
move (usually when the board is full but not always)
the game ends. The winner is the player with the
most pieces of his colour showing.
