From Takeshi Murakami's Othello blog

In a Japanese TV show, Yusuke Takanashi, the World Othello Champion 2009 and 2010, played an interesting game against a famous comedian. Of course Yusuke Takanashi would easily win any normal game, so they set up a very interesting opening position. But Yusuke Takanashi  won in spite of the handicap (black) 36 - 28 . Many people watched that TV show, there were a lot of reactions from viewers. This shows, Othello is fun!!!!
