The “purpose” of most martial arts is to defeat other martial artists of roughly the same skill level, within the rules of the given martial art.
This is false—the reason they were created was self-defense. That you can have people of similar weight and belt color spar/fight each other in contests is only a side effect of that.
“Beginner’s luck” is a thing in almost all games. It’s usually what happens when someone tries a strategy so weird that the better player doesn’t immediately understand what’s going on.
That doesn’t work in chess if the difference in skill is large enough—if it did, anyone could simply make up n strategies weird enough, and without any skill, win any title or even the World Chess Championship (where n is the number of victories needed).
If you’re saying it works as a matter of random fluctuations—i.e. a player without skill could win, let’s say, 0.5% games against Magnus Carlsen, because these strategies (supposedly) usually almost never work but sometimes they do, that wouldn’t be useful against an AI, because it would still almost certainly win (or, more realistically, I think, simply model us well enough to know when we’d try the weird strategy).
