Super Reversi is a good quality implementation of the board game Othello, which was sold by [[qlwiki:Digital Precision Ltd]] as part of their QL [[qlwiki:SuperForth]] package.  The source code was included to help you learn about programming in Forth.


The program has the following features:


  * 9 levels of play, 
  * the ability to set up opening positions, retract moves
  * save and play back games 
  * exchange sides during the game
  * display evaluation scores.


Super Reversi uses alpha-beta search with strong heuristic programming, which makes it a very strong opponent, which beat all other versions of Reversi at the time, including the ZX Spectrum's MOI Othello (which it beat 10 games to zero)!
