I hadn't realized there were so many AI options in Othello. Yay! I learned something. Thanks for sharing.

Other people interested in learning the basics should check out Free Python Games at http://www.grantjenks.com/docs/freegames/ Lot's of classics there but no Othello... yet.

Would you be interested in contributing an Othello variation to Free Python Games?
