Talk:Arimaa/Lone Elephant Attacks

Merge?
Should we just merge these seven pages into one? None is very long, and with the way Arimaa strategy has evolved, I doubt there's much more to say about lone elephant attacks. Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 14:55, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm about ready to begin the merge. The page should be concise once some redundancy is removed. I already made this edit; not sure if anything there should be restored, but that whole subpage and are largely redundant to each other and to other chapters.

Also, perhaps the unified page should become an appendix of Arimaa/Attacking (not a proper section, since much of this is outdated.) In that case, perhaps we should first move this page there and then merge the subpages from here, to avoid double redirects. Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 00:44, 31 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I would be fairly happy to delete the page, as it doesn't fit well with the rest of the book. It's not that pulling pieces with the elephant never makes sense, but this page describes it as a stylistic choice and as a general type of opening, which I don't like. The vulnerability of pulled pieces should be addressed elsewhere (though admittedly we don't have a good example of a rabbit pull). If it isn't deleted, merging is an improvement. I'm not sure this has anything to do with Arimaa/Attacking. Risteall (discuss • contribs) 00:50, 31 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I guess I will just merge them here, and make minimal efforts to improve this chapter further. It could of course be de-linked from the navigation templates, and either removed from or marginalized on the table of contents. Belteshazzar (discuss • contribs) 01:31, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
