I hadn’t heard of Armaa before, but based on about 5 minutes worth of reading about the game, I don’t understand how it is significantly more suited to natural reasoning that chess. It inherits many of chess’s general features that make serial planning more effective than value function knowledge—thus favoring fast thinkers over slow deep thinkers. Go is much more of a natural reasoning game.
