We, weren't talking about the oracle. If you want to butt in a conversation, the least you could do is get up to speed on what the people are talking about or this could end up like a bad redux of an Abbot and Costello bit.

What if it wins in 50 plus moves? You'll never know it. That means there's no practical way to discern certain winning moves from the losing ones. |

I really don't know what you're trying to get at. If there are any number of winning moves, the perfect bot should return at least one of them. It doesn't matter if it wins in 3 moves or 1,000,000. It doesn't matter that it is impractical because this is a hypothetical situation.

Where I define perfect as given a position where at least one winning move exist then the bot should return a non-empty subset of those moves, and if no winning moves exist then no moves should be returned. |

That's a good definition of perfect play. I think another useful definition is where the moves returned by the Oracle are sorted in order with the faster winning moves first. When no move wins they should be sorted with the slower losing moves first. Only the Oracle could achieve such super perfect play

If you had looked a little bit more closely at the very post you quoted in providing that link, Fritz, you would have seen that Adanac already referred to that video.

(Or is that why you provided an explicit link instead of a suggestion to search?)
