Keyano (Othello)

Keyano is the name of the mascot of the 1978 Commonwealth Games which were held in Edmonton. The Othello program Keyano was written by Mark Brockington as part of his Ph.D. research. The program currently runs on Unix machines or IBM PCs. Keyano has been a regular competitor on the Internet Othello Server over the past five years. It came out of retirement to play in the April 1997 IOS Open where it finished tied for third, behind Logistello and Hannibal , the two strongest Othello-playing entities on the planet. Currently, Keyano is hibernating until Mark has some time to get a Windows 95 version of Keyano available for downloading.

Othello Web Pages

The International Internet Othello Association has the most comprehensive site related to Othello on the Web. It rocks.
The Internet Othello Server is the best place to find the toughest opponents in the world, and they are definitely not human! :)
Logistello successfully trounced Keyano numerous times over Keyano's playing career. Logistello is now in retirement, but was the world's strongest Othello program throughout its entire career.
Hannibal is probably the top-rated Othello program today.
