Arimaa i/əˈriːmə/ (ə-REE-mə) is a two-player strategy board game that was designed to be playable with a standard chess set and difficult for computers while still being easy to learn and fun to play for humans. Every year since 2004, the Arimaa community has held three tournaments: a World Championship (humans only), a Computer Championship (computers only), and the Arimaa Challenge (human vs. computer). In 2015, the challenge was won decisively by the computer (Sharp by David Wu), with top players agreeing it was no fluke but proof that computers are currently superior to humans. As it was a prerequisite for the prize to be awarded, most of ICGA Journal Issue 38/1 was dedicated to this topic.
Arimaa was invented in 2003 by Omar Syed, an Indian American computer engineer trained in artificial intelligence. Syed was inspired by Garry Kasparov's defeat at the hands of the chess computer Deep Blue to design a new game which could be played with a standard chess set, would be difficult for computers to play well, but would have rules simple enough for his then four-year-old son Aamir to understand. ("Arimaa" is "Aamir" spelled backwards plus an initial "a".)

[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I don't recollect your name
(Oooh, baby I don't know your name)
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment
your frame
(look at your body baby)
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my
plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Wale - Verse 1]
Look, another day another dollar
She hate me when I leave cuz when I leave I never call
That's life shit, alright, shit, I could call you right
quick
But if I call you gone be like "Boo why we haven't
skyped yet?"
And I skype, bet you say "Lay where my flight at"
If I decline then you inquire on where I spend my
nights at
Shit this life gets overwhelming and more then hectic
But a woman worth some anger is certainly worth some
effort
Just look closer my life is quite deceptive
Women'll sell they soul just to buy some attention
I need something to hold fuck that passive aggression
And when im back from off that road dont ask me no
questions
Please.. fear watchu dont know
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I dont recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment
your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my
plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Wale - Verse 2]
Dont remember how I met her but I know I won't forget
If loving her is wrong then I just know I won't see
heaven
She say she from Seattle, she twenty and some change
Before I get to T.I.A. I'm sure to make her rain
Then im back up on my plane Chi town over here
We spend some time and get some wine have some miles
from ?
I told her this here's overrated but I love your city
baby
Gotta get back to the D you know we finally famous
Driver drop me off in Dulles I'm headed to some money
TSA be laughing all them rubbers in your luggage
I know Ima always leave em but I swear I'll always love
Tell her you'll probably find someone but you'll never
find another
[Jeremih - Chorus]
I apologize I dont recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really compliment
your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my
plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
Girl how could we get that way?
[Rick Ross - Verse 3]
Got on my suede shoes, I'm in a great mood
That baggage claim awaiting miss thang outta St. Louis
Know she shining bright, got on my cartier,
she my billie jean we minaj with mary jane
See we city hop, Vegas to LA,
brings alotta joy Buggati boy thats Laina Lane
Our faucets used to drip, I used to ride the bench,
but it was written in cursive for this king to exist
Packed her bags now she live amongst entrepreneurs
Marc Jacob the makeup Gi-Givenchy consumer Gianni
Versace
connoisseur a carnivore
Accountable for half a million uncounted for
[Chorus: Jeremih]
I apologize I dont recollect your name
But lemme tell you that them heels really complement
your frame
Girl lemme get them ooh aahs then I gotta catch my
plane
Say ya miss me and ya wishing for some private time
