Here is a thought experiment for beating AlphaZero. Randomly select 10K children at a very young age (say 3), have them play chess against AlphaZero but simply have them move the exact move suggested by AlphaZero (i.e. basically this is AlphaZero playing itself). Play 10 games per day for 10 years.

The hypothesis is some children will deeply embed the algorithms into their own playing style - leveraging the subconscious to the greatest degree possible. Basically, we are training the human mind in the same way that we train AI. Would it work? Probably not, but our current approach (studying openings, etc.) is obviously not working so it makes sense to try something new.
