I would have loved to see a game between Einstein and Bohr!! They always had these profound discussions about quantum mechanics. Einstein opposed QM on the grounds that "Gotes wurffelt nicht" (not entirely sure I remember the spelling correctly - there may need to be an umlaut on the u) or "God does not play dice", by which he was referring to the probabilistic nature of QM ..
