Subject: SuperReversi

What about a Reversi game that starts with the classical setup but then the board isn't limited. The board keeps expanding until 64 pieces are played or one player takes all of the other player's pieces. I think this would require a different strategy. What do you Reversi experts think about this?

Sounds like alot of fun to me! I believe Richards PBeM-server already has something like that.

I never played this variation, but I feel that it would be much too strategic. The presence of the edged some how perturbates strategy with tactic elements. Even reversi 10x10 has got IMHO a too long midgame due to the long time needed to reach edges and corners' perturbation and, hence, the endgame...
