Példa első lépés Dark always starts in the reversi game family. Whatever start position is used, there are four possible first moves. In the usual start position like here, the four possibilities are equivalent by symmetry. |
|
First Light move: playing E3 and capturing E4 thanks to E5. |
Possible second move Light has three possibilities of capturing one piece. The game will require to search for the best strategy! |
|
Dark turns multiple rows: playing F3, it captures both E3 due to D3 and E4 due to D5. |
Capturing multiple rows Dark has five possibilities to play, all on the sixth column. Two of these possibilities allow capturing in two directions at the same time, one piece in each. Capturing the higher number of tiles is not required in reversi, and may not be the best solution even. Only the number of owned tiles at the end of the game will count. |

Light turns a row of two pieces: playing E2, it turns E3 and E4 thanks to E5 |
Turning a two-pieces row Light has again three play possibilities. One of them is to capture two dark pieces in a row. Playing that way may allow Dark to play next on the board edge. Is that a good strategy? Who knows! |
