can magnus cross 5000 elo

impossible

No, I think 4897 points is his upper limit.

A machine not even as powerful should be able to solve chess. 

Now the number-wankers get one up ...

Hilarious. 

Not really. 

Yeah. I think it's possible to easily reach 5000 ELO.

You should have a few thousand friends, with an ELO on around 2500-2700. 2800 players are just too good, they don't want to help you.

Then you say: For every 100 rating point, i'll give you, my best friend, 5000$. Then they will play you at a match, and loose every game, because you told them to play moves like 1: e4 f6!? 2: d4 g5!! 3: Qh5#.

After winning a couble of times, you just gained 100 ELO! Continiue this way and you'll have an ELO on 5000 in a few years.

Magnus Carlsen told in 2007 he used this method, however slightly less dramatic, he only had 1 friend, and she is still recovering from 1400 - 2673. He can't wait to buy 1200 rating points of her. 

However, sometimes you are not allowed to go to tournaments if you do this. But you could get some very exciting games!

Repeat previous comment. 

the real question here is OP still a virgin?

do you know that supercomputers hack a password consisting of 8 chars in some ricidulous seconds ???

So this is why my truecrypt consist of 22 chars. This password however can be hacked in some 850 years... according to what i have figured. By an up-to-date super FBI password hacking machine. LOL

don't take this for granted-access denied denied denied maybe I miscalculated...and the chance to win the lotterie: 1:15 000 000

GOOD LUCK REACHING 5000 Elo ha haa haaa

The only ridiculous thing here is your claim.

Read the paragraph after the chart.

I see there's a discusion about passwords (what?!) :D

Check this one out! http://xkcd.com/936/

...which more or less says that a good 8 chars password can be cracked by a supercomputer in approximately 77 days.

So, isn't that slightly more than "some ridiculous seconds"?

Maybe he can reach a gagillion bagillion or sumthin'.......

If he can find enough 4800 rated people to play against it should be easy enough.

The length and strength of a password is not enough to know how long it takes to secure the login. The technique used to store or transport the password is just as important.

Let's say that the password is hashed using md5. Then it will now take approximately 6 seconds before a collision has been found. And a collision means another word creating an identical hash. Bingo.

Roughly speaking, every encryption method needs an equal decryption method. Hence, encrypting a password implies some standard way of processing and is crackable. Only the first time might take a long time.

If you use the same encryption for the same password over and over again, then I hope that you never send the encrypted password in plain text (HTTP for instance) accross the internet.

I think the world of chess will break the barrier of 5000 ELO points before the technique around passwords is secure.

He could write 5000 elo on the sidewalk and walk over it and cross 5000 elo

or he could write it and put a cross mark on it.
