Serious question: I haven't done the research but I've always felt that in abstracts like Chess and Go that a larger part of the skill is in "reading the board". Humans are leveraging our pattern matching but we can get tired or miss even one little thing. The AI never misses, ever. I've always wondered how a human would do against an AI if the human was given a list of the top 50 potential moves in a randomized order to consider before making their move. Would the human be on more level playing field in terms of reading?
- PeterisP 5y agoThere never are 50 reasonable possible moves in Chess, but with top 3 it would be an advantage. Perhaps it's illustrative to consider the chess variant "hand and brain" played by teams of two people, one ("brain") picking the piece to be moved, and the other ("hand") choosing where to move it; the relationship is complex, but in general having a strong "brain" limit your possible moves to just a single piece would improve the chances of a weaker "hand" above what they could do on their own.
