Othello Notation

Standard Starting Position On the left you’ll find the standard Othello starting position. Each side starts with two disks in the center of the board. Standard Othello notation is based on a grid. The letters run from left to right and represent the columns. The numbers run from top to bottom and represent the rows. This means that the top-left corner is A1, the bottom-left corner is A8, the top-right corner is H1, and the bottom-right corner is H8. In the standard starting position, black has disks at E4 and D5. White has disks at D4 and E5. All the diagrams in this book will have the columns and rows labeled appropriately on the top and left edges so, while memorization of this grid will be helpful, it should not be necessary.
