Interestingly, though, chess computers have also shown that even at superhuman skill levels, decisive, exciting games are possible.
AlphaZero and Lc0 have played many beautiful games against Stockfish. All three of these engines are far stronger than the strongest grandmasters. That implies that the drawishness of classical chess has to do with the conservatism of top grandmasters, who generally aren't willing to play the dynamic, seemingly risky style of an AlphaZero or Lc0. You have to really trust your own intuition and calculating abilities to play in that style.
- mindgam3 7y agoI agree, it’s not all just due to engines. Carlsen is usually known for a more intuitive playing style, versus Caruana who is basically at the most extreme end of conservative calculator. If Lc0 can inspire the Caruanas of the world to play with more panache, there would be much rejoicing.
