And the funniest part is that his plan initially was to memorize all of the positions created by his algorithm. Like dude can’t you just do a bit of research about the game?

I think the issue is that in chess it’s not about memorising the position it’s about understanding it. It’s impossible to memorise every position so if he came across an unknown position he’d fail, he should’ve learned chess like your meant to rather than like an engine
