"Totally clueless. Under FIDE basic rules the number of possible games is infinite. Under competition rules a lower bound of 10^29241 is estimated here."
You think this because you are just ignorant to the facts of the Shannon number.
The Shannon number made decades ago. And was cutting the number of possible game to 10^120.
By taking the average length of humans games ending at 40 moves. And is a lower bound of possible games. And making the assumption of 35( if I remember correctly) possible legal move average, and a game length of of 40 moves, or 80 plies.
And you're calling us morons.
Yes, as it was posted before. If you are going to continue to post nonsense.
I am just going to have Grok pull the facts about Chess, and Game theory, and repost them as you are doing.
It is clear you know nothing about chess, computer chess, or game theory.
No more time needs to be wasted, then just reposting the FACTS.
Christ you are dense.
I know you can not fix your kind of stupidity, but just stop your nonsense!
Conclusion
Chess is a perfect fit for game theory because it encapsulates the core elements of strategic interaction: two rational players, a finite set of choices, perfect information, zero-sum outcomes, and a structure amenable to equilibrium analysis. Its complexity ensures it remains a rich testing ground for game-theoretic concepts, while its clarity makes it a textbook example. Whether viewed through the lens of minimax, equilibrium, or extensive-form games, chess is a living embodiment of game theory’s principles—a battle of minds where every move is a calculated step in a grand strategic dance.
And a finite length of games. Former world champion Max Euve incorrectly claimed in his Mathematics PHD dissertation that an infinitely long game of chess is theoretically possible. Finite board, finite number of pieces, repetition rules..etc, not sure what I am missing but simple logic, all chess games ended eventually no matter how long you try and extend them out.
What you're missing is that the 50M and 3R draws do not have to be claimed and FIDE Removed the 50M and 3R rules from the basic game in any case in 2017.
Under competition rules game length is necessarily finite by the 75M/5R rules.
And game theory assumes that chess players are not MORONS. And will play for their best outcome at all times.
Er, no it doesn't. Not if it's calculating the longest possible game.
In fact it doesn't really assume anything anywhere about chess players except they play according to the rules of the version they're playing.
