Reversi best practices

Tips for playing well, the most useful first.

  1. Take a corner when you can. A disc in a corner can never be flipped back.
  2. Don’t grab the most discs early. More discs early usually gives your opponent more moves, and fewer for you.
  3. Prefer the move that leaves your opponent the fewest moves. A player with only bad moves to choose from will have to give something up.
  4. Stay away from the squares next to an empty corner, especially the one diagonally beside it. They tend to hand that corner to your opponent.
  5. A disc on an edge can only be flipped along that edge, so edge discs are harder to take back than discs in the middle.
  6. A move that leaves your opponent with no legal move lets you play again. Look for one late in the game.
