Without commenting on the possibility of a quantum computer to play chess, I'd say the limiting factor of a perfect or near perfect chess player would depend on the probability of someone like Kasparov being able to play an entire game without making a losing error. Even if he could only achieve one draw per 50 games, that would limit this player's rating to about 3500 or so.
