[uqpduofp] Chess explainer

Computers exceed humans at playing chess well.  I think humans still do better at explaining chess to other humans.

A contest: Start with specified chess position.  Novice chess players are given explanations by competing Chess Explainers on how to play the position.  Each novice players hears from only one Explainer.  The novice players are set loose against some other players, or perhaps each other, and the results of their performance grade the Explainers they listened to.

A computer could in principle compete as an Explainer.
