Reimagining Chess with AlphaZero
I'm not sure if classical chess really needs fixing but this was an interesting read nonetheless!

Re: Reimagining Chess with AlphaZero
I "think" this might be just a summary version of paper 26 in their citation list:
Tomašev, N., Paquet, U., Hassabis, D., and Kramnik, V. Assessing game balance with AlphaZero: Exploring alternative rule sets in chess (Sept. 2020). arXiv:cs.AI/2009.04374
(PDF is at https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.04374 )
which gives way, way more detail and actual game position examples.
Would be nice if they could offer downloads with some of these variants. Also if someone could produce a tool
to write up and train your own variant! (There was a "millions of games" program that had a language
for describing game rules). Otherwise these papers are just a tease and not that useful.
