| Apr 29, 2015 at 13:57 | comment | added | Douglas Zare | What gives a mathematician an advantage when playing or studying Othello over an equally smart engineer or philosopher? I learned to play Othello at a decent level to win a multi-game tournament, and I don't recall anything standing out. The moves don't commute, unlike in Lights Out, and the endgame seems to require a brute-force search. If you look at the opening heuristic of trying to minimize your exposed pieces, this could resemble games in combinatorial game theory. | |
