Remove the even board constraint.

Two patches for testers, advance players and experimentation. The first one offer a starting position for odd boards; the second one an alternative position for every board size.

Add --alternative-start option.
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2014-10-01 15:48:18 UTC 
Well, it works, but why do you want this? Generalizing our code to work with arbitrary even board sizes is one thing, but I don't really see any benefit to a secret alternative start position....
Comment 3 Arnaud B. 2014-10-01 16:29:55 UTC 
The “secret alternative start position” on even boards is the second starting position you can have with the reversi opening rules. It is quite more important than the odd board variant, and should probably be playable without requiring command-line.
Comment 4 Michael Catanzaro 2014-10-01 17:03:54 UTC 
I don't really think that it's important to offer different start positions in the UI.
