| Aug 15, 2015 at 13:04 | comment | added | CConero | If there's a last word on this, perhaps it should come from the variant's creator - ".....shuffle the first row of the pieces by computer ... and this way you will get rid of all the theory. One reason that computers are strong in chess is that they have access to enormous theory. I think if you can turn off the computer's book, which I've done when I've played the computer, they are still rather weak, at least at the opening part of the game, so I think this would be a good improvement." - Bobby Fischer, Sept. 1, 1992 | |
| Aug 9, 2015 at 14:39 | comment | added | SmallChess | Ok. I think the answer was confusing. First, you stated "eliminate the potential initial advantage that had afforded". That means the opening advantage that the computer had was eliminated. But then, you mentioned that the computer was superior to human after the removal. Clearly, there was a problem in the language. | |
| Aug 9, 2015 at 14:33 | comment | added | CConero | I'm certainly no computer expert, but if you re-read my answer it would be hard to categorize it as "just wrong". It's hard to see how "removing opening knowledge benefits the engine considerably". And I did say that, "Depending on the depth of search, it should prove superior to the vast majority of humans in that respect." | |
| Aug 9, 2015 at 14:01 | comment | added | SmallChess | Without any opening pattern, human players would lose one of the most important advantage against a computer. The humans would need to compete with the machine in brutal tactic on move 1. Your answer is totally wrong. Please refer to the other answer by @BlindKungFuMaster, he correctly pointed out the fact about opening book. | |
