Outside one box, inside another

In Response To: Outside one box, inside another (Timothy Chow)

There many things I would love the bots to be able to do, and many they do now that I would love to see improved. I think it will be years before the bots are fully-developed.

Just a small list:

I would love to be able to adjust cube and checker plays for differences in skill; I would love to know, when giving or taking a cube, what percent of the time there is a redouble (efficient or not); I would love to see evaluations far more accurate than they are now; I would love to see 7 ply or greater be as fast as 3 ply is now; I would love to see take points and match equity "pop up" quickly with a button; I would love to be able to hit a button and quickly see the proper settlement; I would love to have a bot that could be used for chouette play with multiple cubes and scoring; I would love to be able to record a live match and automatically download it into a bot WHILE THE MATCH IS BEING PLAYED; I would love to have a bot that tells me the relative difficulty of playing the red checkers vs. the white checkers for the remainder of the game; I would love to have a bot that can roll out entire matches very quickly; I would love the bot to tell me not only who was luckier, but who got more difficult plays and cube decisions during a given game or match; And the ultimate teaching bot would not only tell me what the right play is, but why it is better than other plays.

These are just off the top of my head...I am sure, in time, I can come up with more.
