This is insanely exciting. I am terrible at Chess, but I've watched thousands of games on Youtube over the last 10 years or so.
Optically and mechanically, this game feels so refreshing. After being exposed to this almost robotic way of playing at the top GM levels - standard openings, usually the novelty starts around move 12-16 and sometimes longer! It is difficult to describe the "style" of AlphaZero. The best way I can describe it is by comparing how intermediate players chess without being exposed to a lot of theory.
Amazing and exciting for Chess fans.
