Arimaa is a new two-player strategy game designed by Omar Syed to be difficult for computer players. Omar offers a $10,000 prize to the first program to beat a top human player. My program, Bot_Bomb, won the 2004 computer championship, but failed to beat Omar for the prize. This paper describes the problems with building a strong Arimaa program and details of the program's design.
