OT: Chess

Yes, but are the AI having fun?

Seriously, chess is a game and for normal human beings (& animals) games are a way to have fun while improving some skills. For AI, it's all just number crunching.

Your right of course.

Wish we had such A.I. available to sup in MP or to play against in SP in Dom 3

Given that the AI isn't actually sentient, it can't have fun. That's like asking if your calculator has fun when you punch numbers in it, it's a tool, not a being. Large scale automated production facilities don't have fun either, it still makes them better at what they do than assembly line workers.

Well, me and my calculator get all snuggly when I've been pushing her buttons all day
