In the FPT 2010 International Conference an Othello competition has been announced, based on the popular game and with requirements for implementation of full designs on standardized FPGA platforms. This paper presents in detail the CarlOthello architecture and design, which is heavily pipelined in order to increase the expansion rate of the overall system, reaching a peak of 4×108 expansions per second. The Monte Carlo-based Othello player was fully designed, implemented in hardware, and tested. This design wins every game against the FPT 2010 reference software.
