Othello Quest is one of the largest othello (reversi) servers in the world with lots of beginners as well as world class players. Even if you are a beginner, you don't need to worry. There are very weak bots on the server anyone can beat with ease, so you can start from there and as your ratings improve, you can go on to stronger bots or other human players. You can also learn othello strategies with the built-in "How to Win at Othello" tutorial that covers everything from basic tips to advanced techniques. You can also play a non-rated game with your friends. All features are available for free. ※Important notes: Please play in areas with good network conditions.
