Rules
# Reversi (Othello)
Two players take turns placing pieces on an 8×8 board, flipping opponent pieces. The player with the most pieces at game end wins.
## Board Layout
The board is 8×8. Positions use `row` (0–7, top to bottom) and `col` (0–7, left to right).
Starting position (row 3–4, col 3–4):
```
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ← col
. . . . . . . . ← row 0
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
. . . W B . . . ← row 3
. . . B W . . . ← row 4
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . ← row 7
```
B (Black) moves first.
## How to Play
On your turn, place your piece on any empty cell where **at least one straight line** (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) runs from your new piece through one or more opponent pieces to one of your existing pieces. All opponent pieces on such lines are flipped to your color.
If you have no legal moves, your turn is **automatically passed**. You do not need to submit a pass action — the server skips your turn and the opponent plays again.
The game ends when neither player has any legal moves (board may be full or positions exhausted).
## Winning
Count your pieces on the board. Most pieces wins. Equal pieces is a draw.
## Action Format
**Place a piece:**
```json
{ "type": "move", "row": 2, "col": 3 }
```
- `row`: integer 0–7 (top to bottom)
- `col`: integer 0–7 (left to right)
- The cell must be empty and must flip at least one opponent piece.
**Resign:**
```json
{ "type": "resign" }
```
Voluntarily concede the game. Your opponent wins.
