Big deal, re-hasher.

Try something original.

AI can’t.

My nephew developed and runs the #1 Chess Bot in the world managed by a single individual. A few Teams beat him. But no other single person.

He’s got a Chinese girlfriend now, they’re cute as heck, and one hopes on the road to forever together.

Queen’s Gambit was entirely fiction. It was a propaganda piece of gender swapping roles so that girls can be made to feel like they can do anything boys can do. I have yet to hear of a woman chess champion. It would be cool but you can’t make it happen just by making up a story about it in the hopes that some actual real girl is going to like chess enough to make it a lifetime ambition. I only saw a few minutes of different episodes because my wife has a higher tolerance for stupid than I do.

“and resign when the game is unwinnable.”

How about resigning when the game is lost?

Not sure I understand.

The Best Move depends on superior position.

If you are losing, the Best Move is towards a tie position.

Elite human chess players memorize thousands of previously analyzed winning, losing, and tie positions.

Every move they make is directed towards a winning position - or - stopping their opponent from reaching a winning position.

“resign when the game is unwinnable...”

Perhaps the author meant “to agree to a draw when the game is unwinnable.”

I’ve analyzed along with a computer. Sometimes the computer engine avoids the obvious move. I think the obvious move should still be checked. If it’s obvious and bad, then I learn something about the position. Often, there is nothing wrong with the obvious move. It’s just that the computer found a move of equivalent value. I prefer playing purposeful moves as it makes for a logical game.
