It is a solitaire / puzzle game that allows to play Othello / Reversi endgames from a selection of thousands of matches played by world-level champions in real tournaments.
It's great both for newcomers, that would like to relax with this superb classic strategy game, and for advanced players that need to train their skills on the most important part of the match: the endgame.

For Othello competitive players, Happy End is a must. It has been used as trainer by top level players, like Ben Seeley, twice world champion, and many others that daily increase their level by training with it.

Happy End has also been used to organize endgame tournaments, and for some years there have also been the Italian Endgame champion.

In the philosophy of Happy End, players need to prepare their endgame while playing the midgame, and drive their match to known territories, to limit their errors both in winning and in losing positions. Players need to do this in real tournaments, and for this reason Happy End tries to simulate those conditions, with dozens of options, statistics, ratings and features of any kind.

To have a fast endgame solver and allow people to play endgames right from their start, during the midgame, I cooperated with Gunnar Anderson, author of the very fast WZebra.

Happy End is completely freeware. You don't have to pay or register, and it doesn't have nags, advs, splash screens or limitations of any kind; just avoid to get money from this software as I would be very upset.

Uhmmm. But why is Happy End in the Othello Museum!?

Mainly for two reasons. First of all, because I made Happy End, and I made the Othello Museum, so I decided to use the same space for both :-)

But most of all, because Happy End allows to use Graphic Sets that reproduce old and ancient boards, many of the boards that you find in the BOARDS MUSEUM.
