Bots in 200cc Mario Kart:
This is actually pretty funny- bots are INTENTIONALLY dumbed down in FPSs, because they would be unstoppable, unkillable gods otherwise. An unshackled FPS bot would make a chess bot look like a rank amateur in how hard it would dominate the top tier of professionals compared to the chess bot.
Especially if the bot could take into account the bullet patterns for the guns. You'd be looking at full-auto cross-map headshots through a keyhole.
Exactly! If anything, the post could be the other way around, cause against chess bots I can at least get in an opening and maybe a short mid-game before getting destroyed, instead of the instant headshot in fps games
As long as the pattern isn't completely random (looking at you, counter-strike source!) they absolutely can.
I don't think you appreciate how strong chess engines are these days. Humans don't stand a chance any more.
I don't think you are appreciating just how completely absurdly broken an unshackled FPS bot is. A chess bot will beat you. An FPS bot will not even allow you to play.
I'm not even kidding, an FPS bot will literally kill you from across the entire map, through a wall, with a perfect headshot, long before it would even be possible for you to know where the bot even is.
An unshackled FPS bot knows where you are at all times, how you're moving, and can execute tick-perfect headshots the very second it can kill you, and it will never miss, even on full auto. It will fire a shot that goes through three sub-pixel-wide gaps and through a wall to instantly kill you, because it can calculate every single angle to get that kill faster than the server can even do a game update.
Humans may not stand a chance against a chess bot, but at least they can play a match against one. Against an FPS bot, you don't even get to play the match, you just lose.
It's crazy that when I was a kid the chess bots were more like the first panel. That's how much progress we've made in my lifetime.

I was lucky to have quit that garbage game long before it got that bad.
Chess gets pretty boring because it's one of those games that can be solved. It's at its most fun when you have two players of relatively low and equal skill. After that every game kind of boils down to doing the same thing over and over again and you gotta start doing chess variants.
I mean, maybe the super GMs like Magnus can complain about memorizing certain opening lines to some outrageous degree, but even they still have competitive games. For the remaining 99.99999% of players like us, it's not even close enough to solved to be an issue, imo.
Oh yeah, totally. I, too, have solved chess. Haven't we all? I totally get what you're talking about.
