You all should keep posting why you would make certain checker or cube decisions with explanations as you have been doing.

But also start including what you think XG or GnuBG would do.

That way, you can show that you could play like the bots (for better or for worse) if you wanted to but that you knowingly deviated because you think that your decision was better than the bots'.

Of course, there is currently no way to know or prove it.

But you can save the positions and wait for a few years until the days when "personalized AI's" will become reality.

At that time, you can disregard all those "bot masturbating itself" rollouts and instead you can do "you vs bots" head-to-head rollouts and find out who was right.

I don't know about you but personally I would feel eXtremely superior if even one out of my ten decisions proved to be better than the bots'. Wouldn't you?

How about adopting this convention instead of 100% prostrating..?
