Othello is a classic puzzle game that involves moving pegs around to capture the other players pegs and gain more pegs yourself. The author of this game is a genius! I have never seen a game where the computer's Artificial Intelligence was so smart. Even in the easy level I had a very hard time beating the computer.

This is a very challenging, VERY addicting game featuring a nice array of graphics, not to mention superior computer AI. Many people have searched far and wide for such a game, and in Othello, you are sure to find what you are looking for. If you have a very large brain, and a whole lot of time on your hands, you may be able to beat the computer on all skill levels, but if not, you probably will get stuck in the easy level. That's just how challenging this game is!

The game runs very fast, but in the hard level, the computer takes a while to think, up to 10 minutes. I recommend this game to all those smart people out there, this is probably the most challenging game that you will find for free on the net. Overall, Othello is a great puzzle game, and a nice addition to any software library.
