The game of Amazons is a combinatorial game sharing some properties of both chess and Go.We study programs which play Amazons with strategies based on Monte-Carlo Tree Search and a classical search algorithm, Alpha-Beta pruning.We execute several experiments to investigate the effect of increasing the number of searches in a Monte-Carlo Tree Search program. We show that increasing the number of searches is not an efficient method to strengthen the program for Amazons. On the other hand, augmenting the algorithms with a choice of several evaluation functions fulfills has great influence on playing strength.
