NTest

NTest is an Othello/Reversi program created by Chris Welty. NTest is a strong Othello program, with a high quality evaluation function and fast search algorithms. It has many features with the most important one, the display of the results of the search for all possible moves.[1] NTest was among the strongest programs until 2005, but it cannot compare to current programs which have much faster bitboard-based move generators and are able to do parallel searches on multiple CPU cores.

The official NTest opening book is outdated; it hasn't been updated since 2005. However, there is an open source project intended to construct a very large, high quality NTest book.[2] Other programs' opening books such as Edax's book are also useful for NTest.[3]
