Othello Quiz Position 2

October 29, 2009

Hi,

here comes my Comment and Analyse of the Othello Quiz Position 2. This time i made a Videocast. The Fullscreen Mode is not working inside this Blog, so if you want to see it in Full screen Mode Click on the Video again after you have started it, it will bring you directly to Viddler, where i host my Videos. After the Video if you scroll down i will post a short summary and the Rollouts of this Position, in case you dont want to look the Video.
Would be great for a feedback, if you prefer the Videocasts or just the written Comments, as i did on Position 1.
My Email : MrGammonGo@gmx.de  or you can reach me also with ICQ Nick: MrGammonGo. If you find any Errors please inform me. Feel free to use the possibilty to write Comments, after each Post at the Buttom.

Summary Othello Quiz Position 2:

- Prime vs Prime battle
- Highest priority is to bring around the Blot on the 24 Point
- Also important to fill the gaps on 3 point or making Bar Point
- 14/6 makes nothing is unflexible, less combination for making 3 pt or bar pt, leaves the Blot on 24 disconnected
- 14/9 6/3  Slotting 3 point gives White good 2´s he can make 2 good things Hitting and splitting ; puts one more Checker behind 4    Prime, 2-2 and 6-2 Joker Rolls for White. Much better altenative available bye Making the 3 Point with 8/3 6/3.
- 24/11 14/9 , slots the point White wants make, white will attack. 19 good Rolls for white (Attacking, Making Pts, Extending Prime). White has only 3 very bad rolls (3-5, 5-5). Not best play because White has good counterplay Possibilties.
- 8/3 6/3 Making 3 pt, declining as best Move because Blot on 24 disconnected, also Timing can get bad for Black, if he can not free his runner and 13 shoots from White with 2´s and 6-1.
- 24/16 try to run the last runner out of prime, leaves double shot on 2 and 4´s. 2´s are duplicated, white can use them to split. If Black get hits, only the double hit is realy dangerous, almost same Position like before if white hits only 1 Blot, Black has Reshoots. Only Double hit is dangerous 2-2 and 2-4, consider Risk – Reward here, if it works with running out of prime and White cannot hit, strong double from Black possible. Best Play.

  1. I really liked the video. Found it easier to follow than an article because it elaborated quite a bit on the thought process behind the move.
