Get revenge on your computer

When was the last time you won a chess game against your computer. Probably never. Now you might have a chance. A new game called Arimaa shows that computers still have a long way to go before they can match human creativity and strategic planning. The game is played with a standard chess set, but using very different rules. Unlike chess the game has virtually no chance of draws and is very exciting to watch, because a material advantage does not always result in a victory; strategic positioning matters much more. The games inventor is offering a reward of $10,000 for anyone who can produce a program to defeat a top ranked player before the year 2020. More information about the game can be found at:
