I thought it was a tic-tac-toe in 4x4, because then black wins whatever white does, which explains why white tablecroco-flips. I’m not familiar enough with the rules of Othello to exclude this game though.
That makes sense. I could see myself making a move that delays my victory for one turn just for the sake of annoying my opponent, but in the context of a comic that may be a bit overthought.
