love to see character development in my othello teachers

tips i learned from my dad: -start by trying to take 4 by 4 -at the start try not to flip too many pieces. the lesser the better. -try not to put on rows G, B, 2 or 7 (it makes it easy to get the walls for the opponent) -to get the corners, try to take areas that surround the 4 corner boxes (e.g. try to take 3G~3F + 3F~1F, in order to take 1H. DON'T take 2H, 2G, or 1G) -to get the surroundings of the corners (previous step) earlier, try to get 6F, 6C, 3F, or 3C. -only place your piece in 3 boxes surrounding a corner (e.g. 3H, 3G, 1G) AFTER u get the corner for it (in this case 1H) -once you take the corner, go from the walls. (e.g. if you u have corner 1H, try to take row H & row 1) -from there, go diagonally towards the opposite corner (like a triangle)

If I was black and he played like that, he'd have no pieces on the board by move 40.

How to win Othello everytime: play this guy! :-)

I don't know about others but when I played it first time I lost by 20 points margin but after seeing your video, I defeated the opponent by 55-9 as I was able to capture walls and sides.

He literally said the best way to win is to get control of the center area and the walls and the corner which means the best way to wjn is to control the entire board like wtf

I think the fundamentals covered in this video but it may not be reflective of how truly complex the game actually is :) But given I understand how hard it is to make Othello videos, it is still a good effort! Only the title seems a little bit overselling the video perhaps

Keith Galli ... Thanks for posting my friend. I don't know much about the strategy of this game, but just decided to try it out on my PS2 Boardgames Collection so decided to get some insight on the games strategies. I don't care about what your haters say in the comments below, because your explanation of the strategy makes a lot of sense to me ... I'm gonna try it out against my PS2 and I think it'll work like a charm.

Bob are you a Grand Master?

Not particularly solid strategic advice here. Been playing Othello for over 25 years, and I can safely say that owning the walls early on is not always a priority. Every game is contextually driven Also, that move at about 3:40 is shockingly awful in an attempt to own a corner (c3, not b2). Read up on videos by Ben Seeley or Brian Rose's manual (available as a downloadable .pdf file). That said, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the game, and wish you well in improving your skill set.

On my Othello app I only play the 7X7 board now it seems to be the sweet spot of challenge and brevity.

so to be clear, take the centre 4, and then the 4 x 4, the outside margin and the corners. not much left really

Despite the rough comments all over the video, I found your estrategy pretty helpful. Thank you for the video.

I assume this video is a joke?

Great advice for a beginners first time.

Keith, if you played like that against the version DroidZebra you would never get past level one.

actually if you play like this with a professional you'll definitely lose because, there are some dangerous places in the board that if you make your move at them you'll lose the corners and at the same time you'll lose the game

Yeah if take the sides of a particular corner you will lose it for sure.

Welcome to the World of Othello :) definitely a game that will activate your brain

Thanks fo this!!

Hi, when you play D1 is an error for me because black play C2 and you loose, am I wrong ?

That was pretty fun.

Thanks

I've been playing this on NES and Atari 2600, but can't win most times. I figured out having the walls helps, but didn't think about the corners.

I enjoy this game. :)

Good understanding of basics tho, don't be too harsh on this dude :)

No, sorry. Not even the basics. It's really absolutely nothing. At all. It's all wrong.

Strategy works. I just played the computer and whipped it.

The strategy in this video is very simplistic and will not, in any way, provide someone with the knowledge to defeat an experienced othello player. The computer game you are playing against is obviously not very good.

How can I measure my ELO? I play with AI Factory's game. Can you recommend better/more difficult?

this program is made for Unbalanced Company. You will love it because the highest level (CPU lv 30) can 3:1 win (A.I.( think 8 moves)for human study). The game can adjust handicap(means before starting the game you can put 1 to 4 corners ) I can't grantee win CPU lv 30 when I got 3 corners when starting.

PLAYING THE EASY MODE ON THIS DOESNT REALLY GIVE MUCH REAL ADVICE BU THANKS THOUGH

yo how tf do i play

omg my brain bleeds watching this.

Personally I dont recomend taking Edges too often due to the fact that the poison your game. Personally, I dont take edges unless I dont have a choice. Also The Reversi algorithm is weak until around lv 15 when it become decent. 20 for more serious playrrs 25 for the really good 1 and maybe 30 for the world best.

Since uploading this video I have definitely seen that the edge advice is not the greatest in an advanced level of play. I started playing on the Reversiwars app that I saw you recommended and I definitely have to play a different style to be competitive. However, I still think that the advice in this video works well in a match against a casual othello player. It would be extremely difficult to make a video in under 10 minutes on how to beat advanced players. Thank you for your feedback btw!

@nickinzomniac9629

Well I think a better advice for novices would be to try and make silent moves. Most novice othello players try to make greedy,loud moves at first thinking they will have an advantage. So a good basic advice for a starter would be to try and be small at first and prefer mostly silent moves.

As Gandhi once said: I object to edge discs because when they appear to do good, the good is only temporary. The evil they do is permanent. It is a good rule of thumb. Early edges will more times than not poison your good moves later in the game. Even if they seem good when you take them.

thanks . very helpful

wtf are you talking about??? you're doing it wrong.

I’m so bad at this game I feel so dumb

I use it's your turn . Come for my Othello games. But I am willing to play outside that.

Please don't make any more videos until you've actually learned something about a game. Your first advice (play small) was correct. Otherwise the rest of the video was horribly bad!

How not to win almost every time.

KKKKKKKKK, it's a joke, LOL!

Lol. Video should be titled 'How to Catch an L Every Single Time'

That's pretty basic advice and when it comes to edges it's just plain wrong

Taking walls mindlessly is WRONG. usually it's less walls=better. Also corner parity that is shaped by the way the walls are taken is important. The video and the way he is playing is pretty bad

I'm on level 14. I deem it impossible to win.

Why do you call Othello Reversi?

That's bot lv 5 lol

You have no clue how to play Othello. Nothing but the corners count for anything. get 3 corners and you will almost always win. DON"T try to turn over many of your opponents pieces until you have a corner. Never place a piece within 2 squares of the corner. Your trying to force your opponent to give you a corner. Once you have a corner keep working away from corners while forcing your opponent to set you up. If your working away from your corners, your giving no moves to your opponent, forcing him to make more and more bad move as he MUST move if able. if You have followed my guide thus far your opponent will give you 2 and possibly 3 more corners. Keep your opponent under control. let him/her setup your win. Lastly avoid placing pieces on outside until you have no choice.
