Arimaa/Elephant and Minor Piece Attacks

This chapter addresses attacks with an Elephant and Dog(s), Cat(s) and/or Rabbit(s). These types of attacks are rarely seen in the opening because the defensive setup on both sides is normally too sturdy to allow a successful attack by such weak invaders. Therefore, most of the situations covered will deal with the middlegame or endgame.

1. Objectives and Risks
2. Ideal Placement of Pieces
3. Defensive Systems and Counter-Attacks
4. On a Depleted Board
5. Burrowing with a Rabbit
6. Illustrative Games
