Go up one level in this thread


Hi Karins Dad,
I followed the discussions in the thread and I am fully with you. I also believe
that best humans EVER will have the chance of a snowball in hell to draw against
a perfect machine.

My guess is that in less than 50 years the best human player is at Elo 3000
(because humans will learn from computer analysis) but will lose 90-10 against
the best computer then.

HOWEVER, I also believe that this computer then is still FAR, FAR away from
playing perfect chess. Some hundreds years (or even some thousands years) from
now on there MIGHT be the chance that chess is fully analysed.

Perhaps it will be a surprise to discover that the ground position is won for
White.  The computers who steadily increased their strength and knowledge over
the centuries increased also their Elo rating. When the perfect machine appear
the level might be at 7000. My guess. What is yours?

Best regards,
Christoph
