I actually ment that 27 last moves that are played perfectly. It destroys 
all interesting from ending part of the game. 
What about tactic get corners and count properly? Seems to work well.

I didn't spend too much time in doing research on Othello like games and 
what I did was rather my memory long ago. I actually like more games that 
could change rules even at the end of the game and possibly turn nearly win 
in very likely lose.
