We conclude that our study has weakly solved Othello, although we recognize that our achievement is just above the criteria for weakly solving.

We conclude that our study has weakly solved Othello, although we recognize that our achievement is just above the criteria for weakly solving. For certain borderline positions with 36 empty squares, Edax requires a large amount of computation to determine the game-theoretic value and corresponding move. By providing an additional “opening” book for these positions with 35 or fewer empty square, we could further reduce computational demand.
