humans beaten in the 2015 Arimaa match

[chris0033547]

Arimaa is a strategy board game, developed in 2003 by computer scientist Omar Syed as a response to Garry Kasparov's defeat in chess in 1997 against Deep Blue. The game's rules are designed to defeat "refined brute force" methods like alpha-beta search. For example unlike in chess the initial board position can be chosen randomly and each player can make several moves before it's the other player's turn. The details about the game's rules can be found in the Wiki article:
