negative seven ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/negative%20seven ) saves 7.31 seconds over the previous "maximum score" run ( https://tasvideos.org/7860S ) through extensive research and development, the most notable being the usage of a modern Othello AI engine and pitting it against the Atari 2600 AI.
