I think Alpha Zero would fare poorly in these situations unless it trained on them directly. The current deep learning algorithms are good at emulating intuition and perception, but aren't good at deep analysis and executive planning, which is what's required for board positions like these. ---Gary On Mon, Jul 16, 2018 at 2:41 AM Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:
Does anybody know how Alpha Zero would fare on RKG's endgame composition in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_K._Guy ? Put another way, how would RKG's intended solution fare against Alpha Zero? Similarly, can Alpha Zero win those computer-generated "hundred move rule" positions?
