On question no. 2, do you mean othello is on (60 or a little more ply) level
immediately?  If you mean 60+ ply, then I haven't heard it solved yet (not to my
knowledge).

This reminds me the movie, "Wargames" (or "War Games") where at the end of the
movie, the military computer goes berzerk with tic-tac-toe and then says "Would
you like to play a game of chess?".
