An analysis for strength improvement of an MCTS-based program playing Chinese dark chess

“…Another MCTS-based CDC program, named DarkKnight [48], was developed independently by some of the authors of this paper, but it used almost the same weights as in [47], except for reducing them by a factor of 100. The program Diablo won some tournaments [30,39,46,49] in 2011 and 2012, while DarkKnight won two CDC tournaments [42,48] including the 17th Computer Olympiad in 2013. DarkKnight serves as the baseline program in this paper.…”
