Not at all. If the game is complex enough you may not have the ability to determine all permutations of your opponents strategy. As someone posted in another thread, the number of legal positions in Go is so high that, while calculating all possibilities is theoretically possible, actually doing so is effectively impossible. This requires you to limit your processing to the most likely scenarios, and a "trick play" becomes one that follows a highly unlikely strategy and banks on your opponent not realizing what you are actually doing.
- Radim 11y agoExactly. And it is the "highly unlikely strategy" bit that can be tailored to your specific opponent, opening a whole new can of research worms. Even in Go. For wodenokoto: you can read more complexity and the difference between "theoretical perfection" vs "practical execution" here [1] (especially the Scott Aaronson’s essay linked there).
