This assumes you're storing moves of players who are good at chess!
- cjbprime 3y agoNo, it just saves more space when the players are good. (Note the engine assigns each legal move a probability.)
- adrianmonk 3y agoThey said one can do better on average this way. That conclusion does rest on an assumption. Anyway, I wrote it in the form of a joke, but I was trying to suggest that for optimal compression, you may need to model how a player actually plays, not how they should ideally do it.
- sudosysgen 3y agoOn the flipside, if the player is not good, the moves might take more space but there might be fewer of them :)
