Doesn't Vishwanathan Anand only see three moves ahead? I read somewhere that he does. Well, I can see more than like ten moves ahead sometimes more. That's what I mean when I say Elo rating isn't everything. You can't just measure ability and talent with a rating. 

So anyway if I played Anand all I would need to do was go through every since variation on the board and if I had enough time on the chess clock and since I could see more moves ahead than him I would hypothetically win that game

It doesn't have to do with rating, you are right about that. But just because you can see lines farther ahead doesn't stop Vishy from playing a line you didn't consider lol. Weird flex but okay.

The bunny believes you although you just joined and have no credentials. However there are too many skeptics here, so please just first get your GM title registered here first and then proceed to beat him. Unless your claim is that you can only beat Anand and not other masters. Thank you. Please don't let the bunny down. 

A title is just a title it means nothing. Even Elo rating is overrated. You can't measure how good a person is at chess by a number system. It's more complex than that. Elo ratings and titles are faulty. 

Congrats to  op. In terms of getting attention, this topic has done better than the usual AMA, race to  1000, can I become a GM set of topics.  Everyone keep posting and make this  success!

Ok that's a great idea, what auto bunny says. Let's make it a thousand post thread! Ok 829 posts to go. What can you think of to ype here? Let's turn it into a debate, is Anand really capable of only seeing 3 moves ahead? Yes or not.

Anand has the best tactical depth of any active player.  He routinely springs combinations 6 and 7 moves deep.  You'd have to be GM-class in terms of your own tactics to stand any chance against him.  The "Anand only looks three moves deep" statement is kind of like when Richard Reti said he only looks at "one move, but the right one".  You're supposed to know better.

Dude...only 6 moves? I can think ten moves ahead. 

Exaggeration at its finest

ikr Anad is like 10000000x better than 99 percent of us

Look. I believe him, I actually think he can look 10 moves ahead. But, not with time pressure. Anand maybe looks 3 moves ahead, but without time pressure he probably looks more.

Who's he? MervinHenderson? Not really, most of those combinations can be discarded. But yeah, I think he can look a lot of combinations.
