But (by a monumental, >astronomical figure) most people prefer blitz. People prefer Blitz because they dont want to think they want want to have a full of error game and call it chess.Coming back to the main point:Chess is a finite game this translates to FINITE rating for perfect player.In other words one cannot have an infinite rating for a game of FINITE possiblities This is my opoinion as a Mathematician and also the opinion of the immense population of strong players .I believe this number to be 3300 USCF.Now for BLitz this translates to 3600 Elo.
