Although, if I understand this discussion correctly, no person has ever achieved a rating of 10,000, CzarWithinMoons was able to find 1,000,000 million people with 10,000 rating willing and able to play him/her over the board simultaneously.

Despite the logistics of setting up 1,000,000 chess boards and moving between each under strict time controls, CzarWithinMoons, a most superior athlete, was able to best all contenders.

I, for one, believe this story - after all, what is the incentive to lie.

However, my question is to the technical naysayers - why is it not possible to have a rating over 3,000? if the ratings are a prediction of the result, why would they not be uncapped (or does 3,000 mean a 100% chance of beating absolutely anyone)?


There is an incentive to lie. It's called a boast.

As it is, I highly doubt FIDE and its subordinate organizations can even cough up a million people with ratings over 2000, let alone 10000. As it is, even the fastest computers today can't break 3000 ELO for any extended period of time.

On top of that, if you spent 1 second per move, that's 1 million seconds to make a move in each game. That's almost 12 days. If each game lasts on average 40 moves, we're talking over 30 months of playing 24/7, and that's still assuming that each side takes 1 second per move. If CzarWithinMoons were to spend a slightly more realistic amount of 16 hours a day playing, that's still about 4 years to play 1 million people while taking just 1 second per move.


Thanks Dmeng, you make some very good points. However, I have found a number of fatal flaws in your reasoning.

First, you note that playing at 1 second per move, CzarWithinMoons would have taken 12 days to make a move in each and every game. However, CzarWithinMoons has already told us that all games were played at a time control of 5:3. Therefore, CzarWithinMoons must have been playing considerably faster than 1 second per move in order to stay within the time limits (so your assumption is plainly wrong).

Second, you note that with an average of 40 moves per game (and based on your erroneous assumption regarding time-per-move), it would take 30 months of continuous play to complete all games. However, I have conducted some emperical research (on this site) and have discovered that CzarWithinMoons only averages 26 moves per game. This is considerably less than your assumed 40, and further explains how CzarWithinMoons was able to win all one million games against the Super-GMs.

never played more than 20 at a time...!  If you play more, you start to not care whether you win or loose & you forget who your opponents are...

What is the best chess software out there today?  I am a novice player but looking to get better. The daily puzzle on chess.com is fun but I am mostly moving by trial and error and not really looking at a strategies.  Any advice is appreciated.
