A novice wouldn't be assisted by the engine but rather be an engine-chessboard interface with no real input as far as the game goes. I think that's a really weird take. You wouldn't claim there's no point in 5000m race when any person with a car easily beats you.

- recursive 3y agoThe analogy holds. Deep thinking is useful in real life. "Very high" running skill is not useful in any environment outside of artificially restricted controlled races.
