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 from 0.0 - 100.0 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.

Sep 27, 9:16am: If the random number falls outside the range or fall within a non-valid answer I will rerandomize.

Sep 28, 5:58am: Random number was 5 in a range of 1-41 so d4 was picked

@FutureOwl I always opened with this when I was a kid. I learned how to play chess by playing Battle Chess on the computer., in which the Rook was a giant monster made of bricks, and thus clearly the strongest piece, so clearly you need to get it out early. Thus h4.
