Title: Stupefying Comebacks
Post by Weirdo87 on Nov 4^th, 2010, 5:27pm

Just a place to marvel at comebacks inconceivable only a handful of moves before glorious victory.

One to start us off: me vs. bot Bomb 2005 P2 (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/games/showGame.cgi?gid=159339&s=b&client=1). Proof that you can suck for the first 25 moves as long as you've got half a dozen desperate moves in your back pocket.

Here's one of mine:

I lost my elephant, and then my camel on the next move, and a horse the move after that. On the other hand, if your opponent is dumb enough, you can do anything.

I've always marveled at this comeback. What's really amazing is that it's from a postal game against a much higher rated human player.
