One thing that's always surprised me about things like contest math or chess or StarCraft is how people can express a personality through their play style. For something formalizable with a clearly definede objective function, it's still not clear to me a priori that should happen.

Maybe that's a symptom of depth to look for in domains --- whether it naturally lets people express unique personalities.
