contents We study discretizations of fractional fully nonlinear equations by powers of discrete Laplacians. Our problems are parabolic and of order $σ\in(0,2)$ since they involve fractional Laplace operators $(-Δ)^{σ/2}$. They arise e.g. in control and game theory as dynamic programming equations -- HJB and Isaacs equation -- and solutions are non-smooth in general and should be interpreted as viscosity solutions. Our approximations are realized as finite-difference quadrature approximations and are 2nd order accurate for all values of $σ$. The accuracy of previous approximations of fractional fully nonlinear equations depend on $σ$ and are worse when $σ$ is close to $2$. We show that the schemes are monotone, consistent, $L^\infty$-stable, and convergent using a priori estimates, viscosity solutions theory, and the method of half-relaxed limits. We also prove a second order error bound for smooth solutions and present many numerical examples.
