Is it possible to create an AI-chess partner that optimizes for improving your own Elo-rating?

  The Maia engine seems promising. I've never really looked into it myself. But my understanding is that unlike AlphaZero or similar engines which use convolutional neural networks to predict a position's objective value and a probability distribution over legal moves and are trained by self-play which allows them to "learn" objectively best strategies, Maia's networks are trained on human moves taking rating into consideration. So humans typically don't gain much from playing traiditional engines, since they play at levels beyond mortal comprehension and make too deep moves from outer-space, Maia would be more down-to-earth. https://lichess.org/blog/X9PUixUAANCqFRSh/introducing-maia-a-human-like-neural-network-chess-engine https://lichess.org/blog/X9PUixUAANCqFRSh/introducing-maia-a...

    It's cool to see agents with more human-like style. But I'd love to see an agent designed specifically for improving your opponent skill.
