Reversi

1.0 Introduction
Reversi is a simplified version of the ancient Japanese game of Go. While the two are similar in that you place pieces on the board to try and surround your opponent's pieces, Go is much more complex than Reversi. In modern times, the game was popularized under the name Othello. Now you can play reversi while chatting.

2.0 Usage
To play reversi all you need to do is find an opponent and type /REVERSI [NickofOpponent] , then your opponent gets a message [Nick] (you) wants to play Reversi use /REVERSIOK Nick if you want to play] , if he confirms with /REVERSIOK [Nick] (yournick) the game is on. A new Applet window opens with two pairs of blocks [black and white] and you can start having fun while chatting;)

3.0 Gameplay
Game play in Reversi is simple. When it is your turn, click on the board to place a piece. Once you place your piece, the program will look for cases where your new piece captures your opponent's pieces by catching them in between you new piece and another one of your pieces on the board. You can simply capture one piece by surrounding it on two sides, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Or, you can capture a whole row of pieces this way. One complexity of the game is that not only can you capture an opponent's piece, but you must capture at least one every turn.

HAVE FUN!
