Heard of Reversi (sp?).
Dont you say I dunno no spelling! Of course the spelling is Reversi! How can you even *think* I would lie to you!

The game is sometimes called Othello, though. I'm not quite sure what is the link between that Othello chap and the game... might just be a "black and white" thing.

My skill at Go is pretty close to Charybdis. That is, I suck. I can't even begin to understand basic strategies, and the whole spatial thing goes down crashing. My puny brain can manage Reversi a lot better... and then I have no trouble getting trashed at the game, since any computer can play a wicked game of Reversi.

Well, at least Reversi sounds cooler as a boast than, say, Tetrinet. Shame SEIV isn't that well known, though... I *am* the best player of SEIV in the world, after all, following you-know-what shenanigans in the Ratings.

(Notice the subtle attempt at getting back on topic.)
LOL...no, I was typing without looking at your spelling, so, though I'm sure your spelling was spot on, I was going on memory (which is sometimes faulty)...LOL.

Oh, yeah, I've played a few games of Othello. GO, slightly similar, is a much better game, riveling chess in the Asian world where people are ranked and given stone handicaps based on their ranking.

Best player in the whole world at SE4? I shall have to find Primitive, no doubt at the nearest online gambling table demanding respect.
