Video idea: Benji vs Benji. Levy picks 3 moves and lets Benji decide which one to play. He can place treats and whichever Benji picks is played.

[@fisty539]

what if the treats were in cups and he rotated them around since Levy might know which treat he likes best, OR something like 3 cups, 1 has a bad treat and 1 has a nice one. If Benji picks the bad treat he makes a bad move? Just spitballing but great idea and I wanna comment for algorithms

Depends on how the training works, it may just gain a set amount of elo for a set amount of games played regardless of the elo of the opponent, plus people will definitely use engines against it even if that wasn't the case.
