Roberto Lavieri  | Excellent | If you are interested in this popular territorial game and you are encouraged to try a very strong opponent, I suggest the AMAZONG Java applet that you can find at: jenslieberum.de/amazong/amazong.html AMAZONG is perhasp the strongest program playing Amazons now, nevertheless, it can be beated by humans, I have won a couple of times (but I have lost at least ten games against it). I think AMAZONG, under conventional time controls, plays at a level equivalent to 2400-2500 rating, translating it to Chess ELO, but the Java applet only uses a few seconds for each move, so the level is a bit lower, although it is strong enough, I believe not less than 2200. Try it!. | Edit View [*] | |
| Roberto Lavieri | Excellent | I don´t know how many users and members of TCVP have played this great game. I have only seen at brainking.com that Andreas has been an active Amazons player, with a good performance. The best rated Amazons player at brainking is Grim Reaper (Ed Trice) Total score: 269 wins, 17 draws, 0 losses. Impressively good score. | Edit View [*] | |
| Roberto Lavieri | None | It should be good a Courier Preset for this extraordinary game, impressive both in its simplicity of ideas involved and in its complexity and deepness as board game. I don´t know if there is the need of a permission for it. All I know is that the name 'El Juego de las Amazonas' is a registered mark, I am not sure if the game has been patented or not. I have tried to stablish contact with the propertary of the mark ('Ediciones De Mente'), but it has been impossible, I do not know whether it exists or not now. This game can be played using a few other servers on the Internet, like 'Brainking', by example. Can we add a Preset for this game here?. If it is the case, I would ask editors for it, this popular game is not exactly a Chess variant, estrictly speaking, but it is hightly related to Chess and it has its own Page in TCVP. Amazons has merits enough for being in the Courier system. | Edit View [*] | |
