Preparing the ground for your next off-topic provocations?
I have no special problems with Othello related posts here from time to time.
But I think Othello and chess have big conceptual differences.
Chess is closer to checkers than to Othello. I think that, somehow, chess is
more suited to the human brain than Othello/Reversi is.
