Re: Chess vs. Poker vs. Computer
My statement assumes both chess and poker computers are using the strategy that has the best chance against experts.
In the poker case that means it will try too many bluffs against a sucker.
In the chess case it means that it will assume the bad player will find the best move against it.
Stuff like that.
If you want to postulate a computer that deviates from optimum strategy when it sees bad play you run into the problem of counter strategies designed to make that occur.
A counter counter strategy would be nightmarish to program, I think. Practically, the best one could hope for would be a program that plays optimally. One that would not crush bad players to the degree an expert human would.
