Bot Bashers
Programs that play Arimaa are referred to as bots. A bot basher is someone who tries to win against the bots in spectacular ways, typically by taking advantage of some weakness in the bot. This page highlights some of those games. Only games where the win was achieved by goal or immobilization are considered for this page. If you know of games that could be included on this page, please announce them in the Forum.

Bot Basher Challenges
Idahoev sponsored a few specific botbasher challenges over the course of two months in 2006.
The 1st challenge in April was to defeat the highest-rated bot while using no more than three steps in any turn. For more information and results, visit the following link:

The 2nd challenge in May was to defeat the bot(s) quickly without advancing your elephant past the fourth rank and without blockading the opposing elephant. For more information and the results, visit the following link:

LARGEST HANDICAP WIN
Handicap games involve sacrificing your own pieces at the beginning of the game to give the bot a piece advantage (as there is no current way to start a game with fewer pieces). The following rules are required to have a game count as a handicap game:
- Pieces to be sacrificed must only be moved toward the traps and not used for active play (pushing or pulling).
- The player must not be helped or hindered by the bot in any way. If a player's piece is pushed, pulled, or captured - then whatever pieces were sacrificed up to that point is the set handicap.
- Only the pieces to be sacrificed may move during the sacrificing period. Should a player move a piece that is not eventually sacrificed during the sacrificing period, then the handicap is set at the point that the player moves that piece.

NO-CAPTURE IMMOBILIZATIONS
No-capture immobilizations involve immobilizing the bot's pieces, without either the player or the bot having any pieces captured. They are relatively rare as they are difficult to achieve. Only 9 different players in the history of Arimaa have achieved a no-capture immobilization.
First no-capture immobilization ever:
- PMertens (gold) vs. Arimaanator 12313
