I believe in a world where just about anything is possible. Perhaps there are, and if there are, how do I become one. lol
psychic chess masters
Sort:
lol. Do you believe that carlsen has traveled back in time using a time machine from an age where chess has been solved? if so what do you think is the possibility of this? and what year do you think he came from?
It's possible but unlikely.
I'd be more surprised if that happened than if a child learned the rules of the game and the very next day was the strongest player in the world, able to consistently beat Houdini version 31415 running on a beowulf-cluster of 8THz servers.
it shouldn't matter in a way all decent players do a form of mind reading but we call it calculation If a expert plays houdini and uses the option of show houdinis analysis he will see every move the engine is thinking for him and itself and even what is believed to be a huge advantage unless he follows all of houdinis lines which would really just be houdini vs houdini hell still most likely lose.
Estragon a écrit :
"Psychics" are all frauds. NONE have ever been able to demonstrate any powers at all under controlled conditions, even when they were allowed to dictate the conditions. It's fraud, bunkum, a scam.
So, NO.

Well... I knew that this thread was going to be posted today. I foresaw the whole thing.
Wasnt there a wc match where psychics were hired or accused of messimg with one of the players? Maybe Korchnoi vs Karpov? Seems like I read it somewhere.

I predict that reflectivist will continue to make new threads suggesting connections between chess and nonsense.

The Emu sees ALL!
I want to go to one and mess with em as a joke. When they ask me my name or what question I have just let em have it: well wouldnt you know that already?
All "psychics" are frauds, as Estragon noted.
Empathy has nothing to do with psychic ability. See Wikipedia on empathy for a start on what science knows about empathy.
Why are people taking this seriously.
Just to point this out, it would help if you provided any evidence at all.
Wait a minute........wait......... Im gettin a feelin..... a strange feelin..... oh. No, nothin psychic, just gas. Now who saw THAT one comming?
Psy chics I love it when forums come together
Do you personally believe it is within the realm of possibility that there are chess masters who win because of their ability to see into the future or read minds? And if so, do you think the odds are high or low that such players exist?
And what about telepathy? If you concentrate on a move that you're worried about your opponent making, do you think it increases the odds of your opponent discovering and playing the move, assuming it might not be too obvious otherwise?
