You (Manifold) have been challenged to a game of chess! You'll be white playing me (Alex) a ~2000 lichess player who will not use any outside assistance.
After the market close I will generate a random number and the move corresponding to that percentage will be picked. For example, order the moves from highest percentage to lowest. Then to find a moves range you sum the percentages that are greater which give you the lower end of the range than add the percentage of the move itself to get the higher end of the range.
Here's the previous move and a market for the result:
Oct 8, 11:10am: [Manifold play chess] 11. Qf3 Bb7 12. → [Manifold plays chess] 11. Qf3 Bb7 12.
Oct 9, 6:37am: Random number between 1- 997 is 588 so Qd5.

@Sinclair Sure, that can be fun, but I would suggest to at least consult the eval bar. Stockfish is actually quite bad except as a blunder check for this game. I'm personally using Leela tuned with a very large policy softmax (so it has high prior probabilities on all moves, which affects the value of positions in a way consistent with noisy play) and fairly high CPuct parameter (which causes more exploration).
@Sinclair This move is bad. Sure, black cannot just capture the knight, but the knight returns to c3 in all good lines, so black basically gets 2 free moves for a pawn, which works out really well for black in this position. A quick check with Lichess stockfish reports this move as -7 pawns!
@Sinclair Other moves in this position suck, Qf3 was a mistake that lost all of our advantage, consult an engine.
exf6 is okay, but not the best move.
