Otello vvs game for android description: Othello is a strategy board game for two players played on an 8x8 board (similar to chess and checkers).
There are 64 identical pieces called disks (often spelled discs) which are light on one side and dark on the other physically with an actual set or conceptually via computer to correspond with the opponents in a game.
Othello starts with the center 4 squares of the board occupied with 2 black and 2 white pieces arranged diagonally.
True reversi starts with the board empty and the first 2 moves have to be played into the middle 4 squares with no captures.
Thus reversi can start with either a parallel or diagonal layout of the first 4 pieces.
Typically computer versions start as per othello but the name othello was trade marked so they often call the game reversi to avoid legal problems.
The parallel opening has a very big influence on the game for experienced players but is seldom played.
