Subject: what is the best rating that humans can get by playing like a machine?

I noticed that I can beat the weak personalities of chessmaster
in 2 hour/40 moves by playing like a machine.

The following rules are enough:

1)do a list of all the legal moves

2)play checkmate in 1 if you can otherwise goto step 4

3)look at all the possible captures and give them evaluations (substract the
value of the biggest piece that the opponent can take from the value of the
piece that you take and this is the evaluation)

4)If there is a capture with at least 0 score then play the capture with the
biggest value(if there are 2 captures with the same value to the capture that
come first in the table of possible moves(you do this table before the game)).

5)if there is no capture with positive score then look for checks(moves that
threat the opponent king) when the opponent cannot reply the check  by a capture
and play the first move in your table.

6)if you did not do a move in step 5 play  the first move in the table that does
not allow your opponent to do a good capture (a capture when you cannot take
back a piece of at least equal value) and does not repeat the position twice if
you have material advantage.

7)if every move give the opponent the possibility to play a good capture then
play the first move in your table.


These are not the best rules that a humans can use in 40/2 hours.
