Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has been successfully applied to many games, particularly in Go. In this paper, we investigate the performance of MCTS in Tron, which is a two-player simultaneous move game. We try to increase the playing strength of an MCTS program for the game of Tron by applying several enhancements to the selection, expansion and play-out phase of MCTS. Based on the experiments, we may conclude that Progressive Bias, altered expansion phase and play-out cut-off all increase the overall playing strength, but the results differ per board. MCTS-Solver appears to be a reliable replacement for MCTS in the game of Tron, and is preferred over MCTS due to its ability to search the state space for a proven win. The MCTS program is still outperformed by the best αβ program a1k0n, which uses a sophisticated evaluation function, indicating that there is quite some room for improvement.
