Wow. That's actually fascinating.

I say that despite looking less serious, BB is a lot deeper than chess or go. Chess was solved long ago, Go is solved recently, but I would be very surprised if an AI would be able to compete against any of the mediocre human coaches around. Not to mention that there is a team management part too.

Ah, but hopefully someone will eventually come up with something better than the Cyanide crew. ;)

In this context it's important to be precise - for a game to be "solved" means that the outcome given perfect play is known from any position. Neither Chess nor Go is solved, although we do have AIs that can play both games at superhuman levels.
A game like Blood Bowl that involves random chance isn't solvable at all in this sense. The best you can do there is to find what strategies give the highest chance of victory. If Blood Bowl turns out to be tractable for AI developers, that's what I'm most looking forward to -seeing whether and how top computers' strategies differ from those of top humans.

True, sorry for the term.
