Mondo Knows Games
Reversi
Reversi is the game of trapped discs: place a disc so one of yours sits at each end of a line of Mondo's, and the whole line flips to your colour. The board fills up quickly, corners can never be taken back, and the player with the most discs at the end wins. Mondo searches three plies with alpha-beta pruning and weights corners at twelve discs each.
