Ask HN: Play chess where both human players select from the top four AI moves?
Of course, the four choices presented to each player would be in random order and hidden from the other player.
Note that if the AI is weak, this could result in a more balanced game between weaker and stronger human players.
Do you think this chess variant would be compelling?
- dave4420 2y agoCompelling as a player or as a spectator? As a player, it depends on how good the AI is at chess. If it’s better than me, I’ll have no idea what’s going on. If it’s worse than me, that’ll leave me feeling frustrated. If it’s as strong as me, what’s the point? So… it doesn’t sound compelling either way.
- PaulHoule 2y agoThe other way around appeals to me: have an AI judge a move that I made, see using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_tree_search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_tree_search as an evaluation function, better yet it could critique me and help me learn to play better.
