    They'd be so easy to beat at chess...

I know it's just a side-remark, but human chess is much less about looking far than knowing where to look. It's really a hump curve for most players: beginners work at depth 2-3, intermediates push it to 10-16, experts do 3-5 without wasting a second on what doesn't seem promising.
