'El Juego de las Amazonas', from Walter Zamkaukas, is one of the best
territorial games I have seen, it is interesting, deep, nice, and with an
impressive simplicity of ideas involved. But it is a complex game, it is
not an easy matter the construction of a good computer player (Try with
Zillions and see how it plays!). Strictly speaking, Amazons is not a Chess
game, but it is a very good abstract game that appears in TCVP as guest, I
think because it has some elements of Chess. I like this game. Maybe I´ll
prepare a Courier Preset for this game (or a variant...)
Variants?: It is easy imagine a lot of them, some of them as near to chess
as you want. Any interesting Ideas?.
