Another Sign that Computers Will One Day Surpass Human 'IQs'!
.. That would be, engaging "AgentSmith" {the online computer-server/player; rated, 2999!}, in 3 or more games of "Chess-960,' {@ "g/10"}, of alternating colors; And unless you're exceptionally good, or perhaps lucky; the chances are.. that you'll receive a good 'whuppin'!
 
I mention this, Not as a complaint; Since I hated the 'old days' of about 7-to-8 months ago, when even the highest rated online computer, could'nt see even 3 moves ahead {@'960'}; When it came to losing a lopsided material exchange!?
 
As would be expected, you'll have a greater chance of 'drawing' "AgentSmith" as 'white'; And even winning against it, {as 'white'} is no easy matter! -- That "AgentSmith" seemingly has mastered '960,' before its more 'tame'..{fewer permutations}, counterpart of conventional chess; Can only be viewed as a counterintuitive accomplishment!; Of course, it's always possible that it hasn't been put to a rigorous enough, {read, talented player}, test!?
 
Ps. The other day, I Did 'draw' "AgentSmith," {as 'black} in a {circa} 20 move game; When I got the worst of a bishop versus rook exchange, and then proceded to 'stonewall,' or voluntarily 'closed' up, the position.
