Program Description
===================

Daisy  Reversi is a more comprehensive electronic variant of the ancient board
game  Reversi  (also  known  as  Othello®).  Daisy  Reversi 2.6 allows a human
opponent to play Reversi against the computer and has the following features:

 - Automatic  enforcement  of rule maintenance. Daisy Reversi will never allow
   you to break the rules, and will never break the rules itself.

 - A  wide  range  of  complexity levels. Daisy Reversi uses a greatly complex
   algorithm  for  finding  its  moves. Daisy Reversi is a worthy opponent for
   experienced  players  as well as beginners. Besides very difficult advanced
   levels  and  intermediate levels there is a zero level where computer makes
   its  moves  arbitrarily  (according  to  the  rules,  of  course), and even
   negative levels when the computer intentionally loses.

 - Automatic  complexity  level  changing.  You can force the Daisy Reversi to
   automatically   increase/decrease   level   after   specified   number   of
   winnings/losings running.

 - Variable  size of the game field (this is an extension of classic Reversi).
   Those  who like such games as solitaire and have enough time will like game
   on  a large field (up to 24x24 cells). Those who like to practice logic and
   have limited time will like to play on a smaller game field (6x6 cells).

 - Selection of the right of the first move.

 - User friendly interface.

 - Detailed on-line help.

 - Three-dimensional graphics.

 - Variable  settings,  including color settings, game field schemes (like the
   Windows  desktop  schemes), showing/hiding and resizing different auxiliary
   panels,  selecting  sounds  for  various  game events (computer move, human
   move, error, win, loss etc.), and others.

 - Retention of the interface and logic preferences between sessions.

 - Optional automatic representation of all your possible moves.

 - Optional cell marks.

 - Optional accompaniment of the game events with sounds.

 - Optional graphical representation of the current game score.
 
 - Statistics of your winnings and losses.

 - Optional  keeping  the  history of the opponents' moves with possibility to
   save it to a file or copy to the Clipboard.

 - Possibility to enter moves either with the mouse or with the keyboard.

 - Optimization for the up-to-date 32-bit CPUs (Pentium class and higher).

 - Install/uninstall capabilities.
