Here's an interesting paper: Benjamin G. Rin and Atze Schipper out of the University of Utrecht have proven that Arimaa is PSPACE-Hard:

At the end of the paper, the authors say that they expect someone eventually to show that arimaa is EXPTIME-Hard.

 5   Arimaa / Events / 2024 WC Rules, Format, and Schedule  May 18th, 2024, 9:15am

Hi.  The WC event may perhaps be created soon.  Omar seems to be happy to go with something a lot like last year, which was triple elimination, although it might be good to discuss the time control, where the 6-minute maximum move time was turned on, but still with the high reserve to start.
 
Also it might be good to figure out exactly which pairing algorithm to use, as I believe I was not aware of subtle differences last year for the triple elims.

As a very belated historical note, the chosen values for the constants of HarLog, Q and G, are effectively fully determined by:
  • (as mentioned) being indifferent to an initial trade of a dog for 2 rabbits and
  • having the advantage of an initial trade of a horse and cat for a camel be exactly flipped after all the dogs come off the board.
This works out to finding the positive value Q that satisfies:
G = (Q^2 + 13*Q + 38)/((Q^3 + 15*Q^2 + 74*Q + 120)*ln(10/7)) = -2*(Q^3 + 5*Q^2 - 2*Q - 22)/((Q^4 + 11*Q^3 + 41*Q^2 + 61*Q + 30)*ln(65/56))

You can go to the "Navigation" Bar on the left of the gameroom, then select Games -> My Recent Games. On there, just click on the gameboard icon for the game you want to look at.
