I've been playing a bit of chess lately. The rules of the game are deterministic, and the best engines have solved many positions completely. Nevertheless, it's still fun to play, for me. I'm trying to play the most optimal move, and yet, nevertheless, what comes out, is the most nvader move. I don't have the free will not to choose as myself.

But I still get to be a part of some really fun games. I still feel shame if I blunder a piece, or the thrill of hunting down a vulnerable king.

And every so often, a pawn makes it to the back rank and promotes to win the game.
