Amazons is played on a 10x10 board. Each player has 4 Amazons. They move like Queens and after moving the Amazon shoots one arrow on any square that the amazon might move to if it was to move again. The players alternate turns. You must make a move on your turn. The objective is to stalemate your opponent. It is interesting in the sense that a non selective search is impossible. And the move generation is very simple. The branching factor is in the thousands and make Go look silly. The game soon degenerates in subgames when the board is dividet in to separate areas. Those subgames may be exactly solvable, and don't really interact. MvH Dan Andersson
