👉 The term "othello" is a play on words that refers to a chess game played in two different styles of chess, each with its own set of rules and variations. The game was originally played by players who were masters at both pieces on the board, but it has since evolved into a more complex and nuanced game with multiple strategies and tactics. In many modern versions, othello is played as a 5x5 chessboard, with each player playing one piece on each square.
