The actual evaluation of positions in chess is really intensive in pattern-recognition, and seems like a great job for complicated cortical learned-pattern-recognizers. But following down game trees to amplify your own evaluation of positions is also intensive in pattern recognition, and is the sort of learned mode of behavior that also needs to be “understood” by the cortex. So how are you imagining communication with the cerebellum? Is it just keeping the cortex “on track” in executing the learned behavior over time, or is it doing something more complicated like handling short-term memory or something, or is it doing something even more complicated like using a fairly sophisticated understanding of math to tell the cortex what patterns to look for next?
Hm.
