Kitti is right: such a program could not guarantee to win itself ;-)

Nope, player to move second (== black at BK) is guarenteed a win on perfect play. However, i haven't heard of program with such capability being publicly available. It took weeks on SGI workstation originally solve the game.

Otsikko: Re: Using "Othello" programs
Yes, there are some very strong othello programs. The Moor beat world champion in 1980 and since then programmes have been able to match human world championship level players. In 1997 program called Logistello did beat the current world champion Murakami 6-0 in six matches. Of course using such programs is considered cheating and it is prohibited in BK user agreement.

Surely it is quite hard to know if someone is using such program or if he/she is just a very good player. Personally, i don't even bother thinking about that. If someone chooces to use such tools, they're only fooling themselves. It doesn't take anything away from me as i'm not obsessed with ratings and stats. I still enjoy my games no matter whom i play against.

If you suspect someone is using such programs, try talking to them about the game. There might be something fishy if someone plays like a pro but cannot explain the moves. Also try playing them in 6x6 or 10x10 as programs for those are not quite as strong as the regular 8x8 ones. At least i'm not aware of such programs.

In my opinion, even if you think you have a strong case about someone being a cheat, it is not worth to go public with your accusations. It just causes bad feelings, flamewars and such. And the accusations could be false, it's not a easy task to prove someone cheats. If you think someone does cheat and you're bothered about it, just don't play against him/her anymore.

They probably are around, but i would most definatly not use one. I play to get better not to be the best by cheating

Otsikko: Othello programmes?
I didn't even KNOW there was such a thing. Do some players on here use them? Is that why it is so difficult to win a game? Or is it that I am too 'thick' :-)

Otsikko: Using "Othello" programs
I’ve got a question about „Othello“ programs... Are they really so strong as they are called? Do they don’t have a weakness?
I would say I was a experienced player few years ago (but perhaps not so good as most payers here at brainking :) ), but I mostly played against programs in private.
In chess the programs have big problems with positional play and game strategies like in the opening called King’s Gambit. They always say that black has an advantage, but it is not so easy to say.
Can’t it be so in “Othello“ too?

I can’t say that cheating (using programs) is okay or not. But it should be a fair not using these programs. But you can’t control it that everyone isn’t cheating. So a prohibition doesn’t make sense.

I would be happy about every answer.

PS: I’m sorry for my bad English…

6x6 has been solved. With optimal play player 2 is guaranteed a 19-17 win with parallel opening position and 20-16 with diagonal opening. More info at: http://www.feinst.demon.co.uk/Othello/6x6sol.html

I guess the bigger ones will not be solved ever.

Otsikko: reversi solved ?

*nod* it was also explained to me in the reversi-ep fellowship :)

thanks :)

Otsikko: Re:
Hrqls:

Before the game got the name "Othello" it was allowed; also, I think another rule was added with the change of name (about sharing the discs). So, this we play must be another variant.

in my reversi rules it says you have to start diagonally
XO OX
OX XO

but on here you can also start horizontally or vertically

XX OO XO OX
OO XX XO OX

is that allowed ?

Otsikko: 8x8 team tourny

Otsikko: 2 players needed
Polygonal Alien killers are looking for 2 strong 8x8 reversi players to join the team for the upcoming 8x8 team tourney.. Any one interested please contact Ripley at PAK

Otsikko: Re:
I think , in 8x8, there is more advantage for white in a non diagnal start.... the common courtesy , to make it a more fair game, is to use diagnal start

31. Elokuu 2004, 19:44:26
kitti 
Usually fixed diagonal starting position is used so the parellel starting might be confusing to seasoned reversi veterans :) Other than that its really not an issue. At least not in 8x8 nor in 10x10.

31. Elokuu 2004, 17:35:05
coan.net 
So what is better to start with - your pieces right next to each other, or diagnal starting position? Is there an advantage/disadvantage to either of these?

I'm normally not a big Reversi player, but with the 10x10 team tournament starting, and the 6x6 comming soon.....

WE need 3 more players to complete the 6x6 reversi team anuy interesed??? the fellowship its reversi-esp....

3. Elokuu 2004, 12:51:11
Stevie 
If it was rounded, I would say same as Rod, more games = more established, should be number 1 :o)

I need 1 more player to join my 10x10 team for the tourny, any takers?

I feel privaledged that I beat you Kevjon, its a shame it was on GT and not here though :o(

3. Elokuu 2004, 05:51:37
Kevin 
Yes, I don't believe rounded ratings are stored - so the one that's listed as higher would likely be the higher one, even though they round to the same whole number.

3. Elokuu 2004, 05:03:19
Vikings 
Muokannut Vikings (3. Elokuu 2004, 05:04:08)
I'm pretty sure the rating is carried out to the highest fraction, ie. 2167.4

3. Elokuu 2004, 04:50:04
rod03801 
I would guess it would be the one with MORE games.. That would make it even more established than someone with less games...
just a guess, though..

Otsikko: Re: Ratings
i would put in first place to the player with less games played, but i don't know what think Fencer, he is the programmer

Otsikko: Ratings
If 2 people have the same #1 rating, what is the deciding factor that determines who's #1 and who's #2?
