Suckerpinch (Tom) recently had a video[1] about predicting the position of the oponents pieces from knowning just white. I don't think he's aware of this. Great video anyway.

He trained an NN to predict the pieces and then used Stockfish on the resulting position.

Yeah, the "pawn tries" rule in particular reminded me a lot of his "blind spycheck" algorithm in that video. If you are allowed to rank every move and perform the first legal one, you can get away with some interesting stuff.
