I think this is a really useful and thought provoking experiment. One thing that worries me, is that large corporations may find it easier and faster to give the AI brawn than brains. Why play fair when in competition when you have a money and machine advantages? I think this will be especially so with not so good AIs, and the advantages will remain after the brains part improves. So in your analogy, what about giving stockfish 3 extra queens? A second question is how does it do against stockfish with just 2 extra queens?
