The inventor of one such game, Arimraa, has an interesting article on Chessbase.com about what it takes to make a board game in which it is still possible for the best human players to remain competitive against computer software."

    Write a program that can beat a human at chessboxing, and I'll be very impressed.

    I get the feeling that it shouldn't be too difficult [youtube.com]. Just a few minor adjustments and some special hardware ;)

        In that case I guess chess-boxing could be considered a computer-resistant chess variant par excellece!
