I discovered a few days ago, while trying to do something else, that in Iango, ie., GNOME Othello/Reversi, you can change the size of the board from the standard 8 by 8 to, well, whatever you want.
iagno -s 12, for instance, will generate a 12×12 board. So that’s what I’ve been playing as late.
And, the final board.
In the late stages, I found myself in a position where I had no legal moves for three or four turns in a row.
12 by 12 Othello, a nice little challenge.
There’s still room in my repertoire for the standard game, though.
