"Advanced Chess" is computer-aided chess

[gusl]

I find this game much more interesting than chess.

...
many Advanced Chess players claim that this kind of play gives rise to greater creativity of players, as they can now rely on the machine to do the "boring" job for them.

It seems like a meta-chess game then, because all you would do is decide on strategies and the computer would carry them out. I'm not convinced that humans have an edge on computers even where pure strategy is concerned. Human judgment errors aside, it's more likely that the computer could pick and choose strategies better than humans.

Wiki says:

"The individual strengths of a human chess players lie in:

* being able to construct meaningful strategic plans, taking into account the long-term quality of moves, which even the fastest PCs cannot foresee;
* being able to discriminate meaningful moves from the meaningless, without wasting time on deeply calculating the combinations which can be deemed meaningless at first sight;
* being able to critically judge and analyze a chess game, plan, opening or endgame."

Seems to me that humans can cheer, brag and fantasize better than computers, but I have little doubt that computers alone can play the game better than humans (ie. win more often).

Advanced Chess does not appear interesting at all.

On the other hand, Fischer Random Chess is interesting and fun. I learned it in college from a Russian who, like me, was bored of tournament chess.
