Mastering Atari, Go, Chess and Shogi by Planning with a Learned Model
It doesn't seem possible to give "no explicit rules", unless you count "making an illegal move equivalent to a loss" as giving no explicit rules. Which doesn't seem like anything but word laundering.If you do any less than this, the net will be incentivized to make an illegal move for a win. In which case, yah, I'd guess that net would win a lot of chess games against other rule-bound nets.
