I agree that "almost infinity" is ridiculous. That is why I asked it to be defined in the first place. My definition above is just the best one I can think of to make some sense of it.

Any "sideline observers" will please read comment 475 in its entirety for context.

Another sign you're a bad chess player:

1. You get mated in one move! Surprised (WAIT WHAT?)

chuck norris always wins due to a forced mate in 0

but your game looks like this

You might be a bad chess player if the engine's recommended move typically involves undoing your last move!

Or worse, if the engine's recommended move typically involves pressing the "resign" button.

The point is it could be almost anything; the almost inifinite ordinal is to be defined as the limit ordinal that is not infinite, i.e. 0.

Sorry, but "almost anything" is worse than "almost infinite," since "anything" tries to access a level of infinity that doesn't even exist.

That was my joke.  However, I am capable of quantifying "almost anything" to be any ordinal whose existence is required by the axioms of ZF(C); while "anything" is any ordinal whose existence does not contradict ZF(C), like regular limit ordinals.

Next, someone will argue there's no such thing as an infinite number of monkeys.

GM Joe plays chess against everyone who, and only those who, refuse to play chess against themselves. Does he play chess against himself?

When the only win you've had in your 20 year career was when you won the hanging pawn on b5.

He is in a perpetual, constantly challenging himself and declining the invitation.

When you play an engine it starts to say mate in 6.
