Title: Unusual Game endings
Post by ngerhart on Feb 11^th, 2009, 9:30pm

Though I would start a topic for keeping unusual games organized...

Game 96768
Silver player wins in 64 moves against bot_OpFor2008P1
by simultaneous elimination and 2 rabbits reaching goal

Game 9740
Silver player wins in 15 moves against ArimaaScoreP1
by elimination and all silver pieces go back to their starting point

if theres a better place for this let me know

I'd suggest starting a page on the arimaa wiki.

There is a page on the old wiki (and linked to from the main page of the new wiki) called Unusual Games. The old content just needs to be moved over to the new wiki by someone before adding new games to it.

[Edit: I went ahead and moved the page over to the new wiki but someone else can update it with any new games]

Game 9740 does not meet your above descriptions, it was a game between bot pmertens and bot shallow blue, and does not feature those peculiarities you mentioned.

Since when did PMertens become a bot - that's news to me....

From the post itself you can tell that the wrong number is a typo of a dropped digit. A quick look at ngerhart's game history show that he meant Game 97040 (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/games/jsShowGame.cgi?gid=97040&s=w).

That's an honest mistake, there's no need for sarcasms.
