  • We examine a type of modified Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for strategising in combinatorial games. The modifications are derived by analysing simplified strategies and simplified versions of the underlying game and then using the results to construct an ensemble-type strategy. We present some instances where relative algorithm performance can be predicted from the results in the simplifications, making the approach useful as a heuristic for developing strategies in highly complex games, especially when simulation-type strategies and comparative analyses are largely intractable.
