Nice. Thank you for sharing this.

One little thing.

I didn't know how to play Othello, so I Googled for some references.

All the sets of Rules I could find online say that the starting position
has Black running NorthEast to SouthWest (ie on E:4 and D:5)

(I know this makes no difference to the gameplay or outcome as
it is just a rotation of the board, but as it is a convention perhaps
it should be followed? I did also find a number of online games
that used the same start position as yours.)

For the future?
- save/restore a game in progress?
- generate or import a non-initial state of the board (for exercises
  or game analysis)?
- for learners, optionally show valid moves or 'flash' them during
  a mouseover?
- running display of Player1/Player2 pieces count, and difference?

Your source code is a great basis for trying these ideas, so thanks again.
