>In human versus human games, we can simply look up what the human did wrong. There is no cognitive challenge in answer lookup. Its just oh, he sucks he missed the move. Since its two humans competing it becomes "who sucks less" but its two losers that both suck competing. Thats the problem with competitive play of solved games, it must be solo competition against the solution.

I don't think you understand the purpose of games.

This is like saying since we have cars, why do people still race?

Or "why even do shooting competitions, when a robot or a person with a laser scope can easily win them?"
