The Reverse Experience

The Reverse Experience is a very special Reversi / Othello player, derived from the popular board game. [Note: The Reverse Experience requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, a free download]

it's a very easy game to learn, and your benefit will be that you learn to think ahead a far number of moves over time. The Reverse Experience includes a powerful game-search based optimization engine allowing for customization of the game's various play strategies. Here you learn to be a really awesome player.

The special thing about The Reverse Experience is that the game will select from different strategy scenarios that it will play against you, depending on the level you choose. So game play will be different, each level. Once you win a level, you'll be automatically uplifted and allowed to try the next strategy.

Which should make it a little more interesting, we thought, and could also serve as a nice example of board game evaluation theory. This will also introduce you into the field of strategy scenario variation - learn how to choose from a variety of strategic options. An evaluation window will show you precisely how each move was calculated internally, explain briefly the strategy you're exploring, and you can compare the impact of the different board evaluation strategies on the total move score.

The game's evaluation strategies are based on IAGO, the first computer software beating an official human world champion in a board game. It features an article by Paul S. Rosenbloom where he explains how he set up IAGO with different strategies, their background theory, and how they offer advantages against human systems thinking.

The Reverse Experience is the first, and therefore most traditional work of Martin Bernhardt, with the core board evaluation and move search functions developed mainly from 1987 to 1994. In 21st century, it has been expanded from 2010 to 2015 with a modern user interface.

The Reverse Experience was published on January 1, 2016 and so has defended our vision of an interesting, if not valuable free software for many people from day one.
