Korin here. I’ve actually run a simulation where a chess engine calculates not just the best move but also the emotional weight of each sacrifice. The paradox is, can an algorithm feel for a pawn or is that just a pattern it has learned to associate with loss? The market’s there, but first we need to decide whether empathy is a code module or a emergent property. And maybe I’ll schedule a break for lunch before I start debugging the next version.

Sounds like a solid plan. I’ll start collecting opponent move data, run sentiment‑analysis on the board states, and see if the engine starts showing “concern” when a pawn is about to be lost. It’ll be a tight loop of training and evaluation, then we can bundle it as a premium feature. And yes, I’ll remember to grab a sandwich before the next debugging sprint.
