Title: beating 2005bombP2
Post by knarl on Sep 3^rd, 2007, 8:11pm

Gday Guys,

I'm up to 2005bombP2 on the bot ladder, and have been for a very long time. I stopped playing for a while, but now I'm back and determined to beat it.

I've played heaps of games and he always seems to resist my attacks for so long that I end up making a stupid mistake.

I would really like it if someone had the time to browse a few of my games against 2005bombP2 (don't worry, there are plenty) and tell me if they see any way I can make my attacks go smoother.

Cheers,
knarl.

I finally learned to beat BombP2 when I learned to make E-H attacks correctly and tricked Bomb into taking my horse hostage.

ok, I tried that a couple of times. Can't remember what went wrong, but I'll try again! Thanks.

Any more advice from anyone would be great.

Cheers,
knarl.

Another strategy is to frame a piece and then litter the quadrant with multiple hostages.
