My Favorite Antimaia Games (opens in new tab)

This is a follow up to Opponent Modeling Wins 2× Faster Than Stockfish. After running 400 simulations, I can conclusively say that opponent modeling is pretty cool. The TLDR on opponent modeling is that if we have a pretty good idea of what the opponent might do, we can beat them faster by playing moves which aren’t objectively “optimal” as far as minimax is concerned. Here, Maia 1900 is a model of a relatively high-level chess player. Antimaia 1900 is specifically designed to counter Maia 1900.
