Othello (character) actor playing Othello with an otherwise all-white cast (there had been all-black productions of the play before). It ran for 296 performances, almost twice as long as any other Shakespearean play ever produced on Broadway. Although it was never filmed, it was the first nearly complete performance of a Shakespeare play released on records. Robeson played Othello in three separate productions between 1930 and 1959. He first played it opposite a cast that included Peggy Ashcroft as Desdemona and Ralph Richardson as Roderigo, and would return to it in 1959 at Stratford on Avon. The American actor William Marshall performed
Computer Othello the Minimax method, which generates all possible positions (nearly 10 million). The result is that white wins with a +8 margin (3-11). Othello 6x6 has been solved in less than 100 hours by many simple Othello programs that use the Minimax method, which generates all possible positions (nearly 3.6 trillion). The result is that white wins with a +4 margin (16-20). The Othello 8x8 game tree size is estimated at 10 nodes, and the number of legal positions is estimated at less than 10. Although not mathematically solved yet, a solution could possibly be found using intensive computation with top
