MCTS
A game-tree search algorithm based on random sampling that estimates move win rates through large numbers of random simulated games. It uses the UCB formula to balance exploration and exploitation and requires no hand-crafted evaluation function. MCTS gained widespread recognition through its central role in AlphaGo.

Timeline (last 90 days)
In Stratego, simply assigning random values to hidden pieces and then running MCTS causes the AI to systematically overestimate the safety of certain lines of attack.
Harness Router supports escalating to MCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search) for complex multi-step decision scenarios.
MCTS estimates the value of decision nodes by repeatedly simulating random rollouts, iterating through four phases—selection, expansion, simulation, and backpropagation—to concentrate computational resources on the most promising branches.
Harness Router employs a three-tier hierarchical decision strategy—fast path, Jev, and MCTS—automatically matching the processing path based on decision complexity.
Forkable state is highly valuable for algorithms such as MCTS that require repeated simulation of future branches, as well as for counterfactual reasoning training, because such algorithms require the environment to efficiently save and restore state.
The counterfactual evaluator reconstructs the decision state at each divergence point, clones two copies and applies each model's action respectively, then runs deeper unguided MCTS from both resulting positions as a neutral arbiter.
The MCTS core loop consists of four steps: selection, expansion, simulation (rollout), and backpropagation.
For perfect-information games such as Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe, common technical approaches include Minimax with Alpha-Beta pruning, MCTS, and heuristic design of evaluation functions.
Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) does not rely on manually designed evaluation functions; instead, it estimates the win rate of each move through a large number of random simulated games and uses the UCB formula to balance exploration and exploitation.
AlphaGo's success brought the Monte Carlo Tree Search method to widespread attention.
