I'll try think up tips in general for beating Greedy one Move. Probably the first thing will just be to try to box its amazons in as much as possible to give yourself a lot of room for the challenge.

I can imagine this being repeatable enough as a strategy - gradually move your pieces up the board dividing the board in half, blocking the bots access to what will end up being the bigger half.

Then hope to box it in quicker and quicker toward the ending

and 26 with White
