God's chess rating
I thought God was a boxer.
Aye! I lost this leg. I now prophesy that I will dismember my dismemberer. Now, then, be the prophet and the fulfiller one. That’s more than ye, ye great gods, ever were. I laugh and hoot at ye, ye cricket-players, ye pugilists, ye deaf Burkes and blinded Bendigoes! I will not say as schoolboys do to bullies-- Take some one of your own size; don’t pommel me! No, ye’ve knocked me down, and I am up again; but ye have run and hidden. Come forth from behind your cotton bags! I have no long gun to reach ye. Come, Ahab’s compliments to ye; come and see if ye can swerve me. Swerve me? ye cannot swerve me, else ye swerve yourselves! man has ye there. Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents’ beds, unerringly I rush! Naught’s an obstacle, naught’s an angle to the iron way!
4059 is the limit within 10 yrs.
That looks about right judging from the graph at the end here.
I calculated a lower bound on a perfect players rating , by looking at draw rate as a function of ELO rating. If chess is a theoretical draw, the draw rate should rise with ELO and hit 1 at a perfect player's rating, while if its a win (for either white or black) the draw rate should likewise drop and hit 0 at perfect player's rating, all this assuming beings play other beings of approximately the same rating. You can see the results here which indicate that a. chess is a draw and b. a lower limit for perfect rating is 5200. All this is well and good, but the question popped up as to whether chess can be solved in 'reasonable finite time' (eg anything shorter than the age of the universe) on a quantum computer. Thoughts?
Even if chess is a theoretical win, it doesnt mean win rate rises towards higher elo. It could be very drawish at high elo (ie. Now) until solving is done and the winning line(s) are found. Then win rate obviously suddenly hits 100%.
God is big G. his elo is 7400 elo. He doesn't play chess like humans or AI. it is how he always hang around with btm, verstile, and top guys perfectly being a playboi.
Alekhine died and showed up at the Pearly Gates, only to be told by Saint Peter than chess players were not allowed in Heaven. Turning away in disappointment, Alekhine was surprised to see Effim Bogoljubov sitting at a small table just inside the fence, drinking beer. Calling out to draw Saint Peter's attention, Alekhine pointed at Bogoljubov and demanded "What about HIM?"
Saint Peter dismissively replied "Oh... he just THINKS he's a chess player."
God's rating is probably zero why would he spend time on chess ?
What else is there to do?
Even if chess is a theoretical win, it doesnt mean win rate rises towards higher elo. It could be very drawish at high elo (ie. Now) until solving is done and the winning line(s) are found. Then win rate obviously suddenly hits 100%.
Either win rate has to go up at the expense of draws/losses or (as in your scenario) loss rate goes down at the expense of draws; in any case, the sum (w+1/2d) must increase for ELO to increase, irrespective of whether chess is a theoretical win or draw. In any case, I was looking at draw rate as function of ELO, not win rate. In principle it might be true (in parallel to your comment) that draw rate doesn't necessarily increase with ELO, but the evidence is otherwise.
Oh I'm hear
