And that, again, is something that human beings have a very hard time doing.
mainly because they just lack the short-term memory.
You just can't remember a sequence of moves that's 50 moves long.
And you can't imagine the board correctly for that many moves into the future.
I think there's some truth to that.
Yeah, I mean, I think the extent to which a human grandmaster can reliably, instantly recognize the right move and instantly recognize the value of a position, I think that's a little bit overrated.
Yeah, so I think what happens is you get a sense that there's some possibility in the position, even if you make a weird looking move, that it opens up some lines of movement.

And it's that intuition that there's something here in this position that might yield a win.
And then you follow that, right?
And in some sense, when a chess player is following a line in his or her mind, they're
they're mentally simulating what the other person is going to do, what the opponent is going to do.
And they can do that as long as the moves are kind of forced, right?
As long as there's a, you know, there's a, we call a forcing variation where the opponent doesn't really have much choice how to respond.

You know, we see plenty of mistakes, even in Grandmaster games, where they just miss some simple three, four, five move combination that wasn't particularly apparent in the position, but was still there.
Part of the meta-reasoning capability that it had was based on learning.
