Hi
I am obviously new to arimaa as I make a post here. I have played chess for about 10 years which you understand is because I like boardgames Smiley.
When I tried arimaa out I found that it was quite different from chess even thought I ofcourse could apply my general understanding for board games. Now I have played a few games and I think I have at least started to avoid obvious blunders. So I was wondering if someone maybe got a tip on how to get better. except from playing a lot which I also intend to do. What I understand there are quite few who play arimaa so I guess there are no books about it?
 
Maybe this comment is a bit missplaced but I am wondering if anyone else got a problem with google chrome and arimaa. It worked well last week or something but then something happened and I cant understand why. Or I have a clue that it has something to do with google chrome downloading an upgrade to itself but I dont know how to fix it.
Every time I try to enter a game the connecting sign is there forever :S. However it works well with firefox but I was just curious if someone have had the same problem and maybe found a way to solve it.

There is indeed a book about it: 2-time World Champion Karl Juhnke's 202-page treatise "Beginning Arimaa: Chess Reborn Beyond Computer Comprehension."
