Survey of the game
This game is known as "Othello" or "Reversi". The object of the game is to
have the majority of your color discs on the board at the end of the match.
At the opening of the match, each player chooses one color to use throughout
the match, and places two discs each as Fig.1.
Fig.1
Every move must consists of "sandwiching" the opponent's disc(s), then flipping
the sandwiched disc(s) to your color. To sandwich means to place a disc on
the board so that the opponent's row(s) of disc(s) lie between your color
discs at each end.
For example, the placement of black disc at X sandwiches the row of three
white discs.(See Fig.2) Then sandwiched discs are flipped to black.(See Fig.3)

3. All discs sandwiched must be flipped, even if it is the player's
advantage not to flip them at all.
4. You may not skip over your own color disc to sandwich the opponent's
disc. (See Fig.6 and Fig.7)

Fig.7
5. Disc(s) may only be
sandwiched as a direct result of a move and must fall in the direct line
of the disc placed down. (See Fig.8 and Fig.9)

Fig.9
6. In your turn, if you can't sandwich any opponent's disc, your
turn will be invalidated and the opponent moves again. However, if a move
is available to you, you may not pass your turn.
7. Once a disc is placed on the board, it can never be moved to another
place later.
8. When it is no longer possible for either player to move, the match
is over. It is possible of a match to be over before all 64 squares are
filled. The player with the majority of his or her color discs on the board
is the winner.
