very decisive corner sacrifice, black had all the initiative after that, really was able to wittle down white's options via continuing to reduce mobility, clean winning sequence too. white made a good attempt at countering with a corner sacrifice of their own but that finish from black was just clinical.
i wish there was a knowledged commentary to the game :(
Hehe i wish i had more time to do that for you too, but do check out the exhibition games, those are designed to have the pros think through their moves aloud.
This is oddly satisfying to watch
Thank you :)
No worries. I kinda stumbled upon your video randomly, and I was surprised by how almost relaxing it was.
@@burger7499 thank you and welcome :)
可以附上那款遊戲的名字或下載聯節嗎?我想下載但找不到
名字是 Othello Quest
@@OthelloAcademy 謝謝
I tried this and ended up losing 3 games in a row from running out of pieces
Yeah, went back to focusing on capturing the sides and started dominating again
That is because you may not have complete mastery over mobility (minimisation still requires key disc or position control otherwise you may get wiped out), but capturing sides could also be controlling mobility. The differences can be a bit nuanced and subjected to players skill. If edge play works for you better, definitely use edge play. Dominate could be subjective in terms of levels though. The experimentation in different approaches should be an ongoing procesd for everyone, so whatever works for you :)
@@OthelloAcademy yeah, I'm getting better at it the more I practice
Wooow. 🙀
Tem que ter muita estrategia😊❤❤

Sponsor must be Oreo It just has to be ! Lol

片尾白棋的兩路平四不是很多人敢下😂 另外這七言口訣大概也概括了黑白棋的思路,問題是用那一種比較好,因為對手不會讓你走得那麼舒服,這樣就要比計算量了

wooow!!!
First I was like why black don't put on top left corner then I shut my mouth
I'm 13 years old and I learned a lot from your videos, but I couldn't understand your playing style and it doesn't work when I apply your tactics to someone else. Can you give me some tactics,if you don't mind?
Hello, thanks for supporting my channel. I definitely would not say my playing style is the best style there is. My advice would be for you to learn some basic openings, fundamental strategies like parity, opening and midgame centralization or edge play but the main objective of the game remains the same, it is to control your opponents mobility and to let them make forced moves so you can dictate play. At that age, i would say you would have some time to experiment and play with different styles and explore what works for you. But if you want results fast, copying top players openings could work.
@@OthelloAcademy When you ask me to look at the openings of the best players, where can I find the performances of those players?
@@kerem-zl8rw you can find it on Othello Quest gaming app top rank players transcripts or watching them live. Or you could google World Othello Championship 2016 for example and it would show a website with historical world championships transcripts in the cross tables. You can search the common top players' transcripts.
@@OthelloAcademy I couldn't find that site, can you share it here?

很用心的講解
謝謝支持
I learned a lot from your videos, thank you ❤
Thank you for support too :)
You post very nice videos, but sometimes the players do not see some of the moves, but thank you, it is very nice.
Thank you :)
What a game the opening was clean as hell !! Having the first mistake after the 22nd move is really impressive Was it a book opening (classical logistello line) or was it improvised ?
Hello Alex ! I'm wondering are you gonna do an analysis video about some of your game from the Singapore Masters? I'm really curious about your thought process and the way you approach the game
Hi, fair question, I do tend to explain my thoughts more in real time for my exhibition game series. But so far I have not reviewed or analysed retrospectively before as I somehow forget my intent in certain parts of the game but sure that's a great suggestion and I could work on it too!
If you are interested to analyze the game I've created a study on a website called Playstrategy Since KZread don't allow users to put URL here is my nickname : "ThatGoodGuy", and the name of the study : Game Study I've already analyzed them with the reversatile app but I'm sure you'll have more to add if you make a video about them 😊
Alex, where I can buy othello discs of the same size of those you're using in this game?
Hi, I am afraid they dont sell the discs separately for these. The cheapest should be buying an official othello set by Megahouse for yourself
I've now been playing Othello the past week thanks to SilvaGunner and your channel rocks!
Fantastic and welcome!
I just want to know how the SiIvagunner community knew that those exact moves came from this specific game.
this video was linked in the that videos description
I wanna know more about how Silvagunner decided to take this game :)
Hi, thanks for your video. If you pay full price for the app from your iPad, can you also download it to your iPhone or do you have to pay again?
Good question, my understanding is that as long as you are using the same Apple ID, you shoulf be able to download it across both your ipad and iphone.
Đen đánh rất liều, luôn ném vào thế bí xong anh ấy đã cược đúng. Dù trắng chơi rất thận trọng nhưng bị dòn ép đến mức đánh vào những góc chết khiến ván vờ bị lật ngược
awesome play also hello from the siivagunner community, this play was used as a basis for the latest fusion collab's visuals
Thank you, I have to go check that out, any link for it?
Hello, I'm the obligatory "here from some other video on KZread" comment. A group named SiIvaGunner used this match as reference for an Othello-themed video, and provided a link back here in the video description. Seems someone on the team was a fan.
Oh, that's interesting, may I ask for the link for that video? It's nice to be referenced (hopefully in a positive way), appreciate the highlight!
@@OthelloAcademy kzread.info/dash/bejne/iIqnm6Ssk9Gyh8o.htmlsi=UGmGhiK2UxYMWHWb
Seems you already found it, but for everyone else, the video is “Game with Rabbit Fusion Collab”: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iIqnm6Ssk9Gyh8o.htmlsi=ylwusnzPMEOJLnZZ And yes, it’s in a positive light
Why doesn't Alex put stones in the corners while he has the chance? 20:01
I was waiting for the opportunity at 22:41 to clear the whole B column to try get both A1 and B1
Taking a1b1 immediately closes that possibility which I was guessing it's my only way to win the game
@@OthelloAcademy Thank you, I was very curious, I have a tournament today and this information was very good.
@@robinzz good luck
???
Haha, wicked.
Brightwell opening is very common before A.I. popularize... because black seems to group together and white is not easy to find the best move before othello learning software approached.
5:28 why didn't the white go for the up left square to flip 7 pieces .Indeed he went another way
where can I buy such a board and chips for the game? please give me the link
Sorry this is out of production since 2006 so you can only buy it from secondary market off people who has it or you can buy the one that the Japanese othello association currently produces which is similar but the surface would be different
such a good game and then move 43 was -18 and move 47 was -22 ! Wtf !
Shit happens haha
Misflip at 27:33
y quien gano?
I remember seeing a black dude get beat so hard off a bluff in Othello that he went into a Coma! They let his ass sleep at the table for 3 days because they didn't want a lawsuit... On a Wednesday a little Asian dude brought some homemade fried chicken in and the dude smelt it and woke right the heck up
is it a draw?, good game. Black player allow White player set the stoner trap make this game exciting.
I used to watch this over and over back then haha
Thank you :)
players having equal skills - the one who starts first will lose, it is unique to Othello a biased game right from the start.
It's supposedly equal for both first to start and second to start, but parity tends to favour white who starts second
yah "supposedly" equal haha. I played with it way back in the late 70s as a kid then, discovered that i can't lose if i don't start the game first, unless playing with inexperienced players. That was my hustle, sure way of making some pocket money.@@OthelloAcademy
amazing 'home-ground' example
Thank you :)
32:42 G7 ??? Then b1.
How could he miss that turnover if this is a final in competion 😮
Nice game! Keep it up. Also nice meeting you both in Rome.
Thanks!
Im currently at 2dan in othello quest but havent made it to 1800 since i made it to 2dan am i doing something wrong or do i need to play more games?
There is nothing wrong with what you may be doing per se. I think you just need more experience playing the game, or watching experts play, or specialising in some openings to get some boost in results. At the same time, don't forget others are also improving too, so it's easy to feel left behind even when you are also improving.
@@OthelloAcademy thanks for the response
Hi there! Does anybody know where we can buy a board similar to the one here?
Unfortunately this board has been out of production since 2006. For an identical one, you would need to buy it through secondary sellers or a similar one from Japan Othello Association. The one that Japan Othello Association sells last I saw was 50 to 55 thousand Japanese yen and that is not including shipping costs which usually is also quite high for a big heavy board.
White plays bad. 25:41 That „correction“ was false !
Haha good spot, I didn't realise it since he was "giving" me more discs
Nice b2 move for black to gain some tempos
Thanks for support 😅
I love playing Othello! Haré Kṛṣṇa!
30:00 g8 ? From our pov.
Hmm... B7 (From Camera viewpoint) ?? :) Why?
I guess you didn't like h1 h6 h3?
Oh, wait! White isn't Alex??
@@shroomyfeelingswhite is Alex’s brother!
@@yiantay7734 Ooh, I see! I didn't even know, he had a brother! Thank you!
I guess H1 h6 h3 might not be enough given the whole g column is black?Also by playing b7 a8 b8, u flip the g3 disc, resolving the hyper parity region on the top, thereby getting parity I think
