Title: Fun puzzle.
Post by Robert on Apr 26^th, 2005, 9:48am

Hello. I made a little puzzle to do. I don't know if this kind of thing has been done before but I thought it was quite nice.

It is silver to move and win in the fewest moves (or ply) possible.

the (new) position is:

1w Dg2 Rg4 Eh3
1b dg3 eh4 rh2 cf3 cg1 hh1
2w pass

which can be pasted into http://arimaa.com/arimaa/games/planGame.cgi

the old position was:

1w Cg2 Rg4 Eh3
1b dg3 eh4 rh2 cf3 cg1 hh1
2w pass

where I made an error :P

Thanx, Robert. This puzzle is fun. I recall a game against ShallowBlue, not sure if it was clauchau or naveed or someone else, where they won using this motif.
