This is very cool. I think this could be extended to create a program that finds the best practical moves for a given level of play. Instead of just predicting the most likely human move, it could suggest the current move with the best "expected value" based on likely future human moves from both sides.

As an example, let's say there's a position where the best technical move will lead to a tiny edge with perfect play. Current programs like Stockfish and Alpha Zero will recommend that move. It would be better to instead recommend the move with a strong attack that will lead to a large advantage 95% of the time, even if it will lead to no advantage with perfect play. It seems one could extend Maia Chess to develop such a program.
