> Uh-huh. And how exactly do you play chess? Do you not, perhaps, think about future states resultant from your next move?
Not quite. You'd need to look into how people play chess. It has vastly more to do with present positioning and making high-quality evaluations of present board configuration.

Indeed. And what is a system which merely falls into a dataset?
A NN is just a system for remembering a dataset and interpolating a line between its points.
If you replace a tree search with a database of billions of examples, are you actually solving the problem you were asked to solve?
Only if you thought the goal was literally to win the game; or to find the route to the bottom of the hill. That was never the challenge -- we all know there are shotcuts to merely winning.
Intelligence is in how you win, not that you have.
