I think 4000 which was guessed on this thread is a wild exaggeration. If perfect play is 3300, Kasparov would score about 7%, and the average GM 2-4%. If perfect play is 4000, then these percentages should be divided by 40, which stretches belief. The game outcome is not relevant for this discussion. If the game is won, the perfect player will always win with the right color, but not with the wrong color, and conceivably he may lose. If the game is drawn, the perfect player needs a mistake to win any game. It's not the theoretical outcome but the level of opposition that is important. It's possible to get an approximation by having a strong player play against an EGTB in a level position and looking how well he scores. Amir
