Please let me know if I’m mistaken but it seems that, disappointingly, there is no measure of the quality of players, especially considering that the game referenced is a fan-made clone of the physical game. There’s no ladder, MMR, ELO, ec. So, of course someone who’s played the game 100,000 or even 10 times is likely to beat someone who’s only just played maybe a handful of games. That’s not a bold - or arguably fair-claim to have beaten a majority of players if those players are all brand new —or a minority of those are veterans— which I suspect is likely given the nature of web based games.

It’s interesting that you’re referring to the ai as ‘someone’ and also that people take it for granted that ais can beat most people at most games.

On the other hand, I would bet that this is a small dedicated community. Much like mafia game communities, I would expect this is a dedicated fan group

> there is no measure of the quality of players This is interesting in itself. 10 years ago it would have been very hard to write a program beating a human at a game where we don't know what makes a player better than another.

  We do know what makes a player better, it's win rate. What GP is saying is there seems to be no leaderboard or ELO/MMR to really understand how good the AI actually is at the game. Is this achievement closer to AlphaGo beating Lee Sedol, or is it more like AlphaStar beating a bunch of Bronze league players?
