Title: Since I lack the ML background to debunk this suspicion, I figured I&#x27;d let HN debunk it for me. Seeing AlphaZero&#x27;s success at learning Chess, Shogi, and Go, I was immediately struck with the intuition that the fact that AlphaZero could learn so much from &quot;self-play&quot; should provide some insight into improving human teaching and learning strategies. With the caveat that humans lack AlphaZero&#x27;s ability to separate themselves into two versions, I can imagine a teaching paradigm that emphasizes simulating competitive activities but playing as both sides. Is something like this at all related to what AlphaZero&#x27;s doing and are there chess training paradigms that emphasize this type of simulation?
