Amazon Puzzles?
  • Ed Collins at 2003-11-19

    Are there any Amazon puzzles available online? (White to play and win… that sort of thing.)

    I've been looking and so far I haven't been able to find any.

    Here's a puzzle: Consider the box in the lower right of this position. What is the best local move? Is it better to move first or second?

    Thank you. That was fun. That was exactly the type of thing I was looking for. I just started playing Amazons and I need more problems like that.

    I went through a lot of variations and in all of them it appears you want to go SECOND in that position. If there's a winning move for the player on the move, I can't find it!

    wow. nice puzzle.

    it reminds zungwang positions in chess.

    White always has a 'draw' strategy (mirror), so there can't be a winning move for black, on the other hand white could make a better move than mirror to win in some cases
