I think that you prefer to ask questions that are practically impossible to answer. We cannot play games at 20,21,22 plies today. I think that before asking the question about the rating of the perfect player we need to ask if rating has a clear meaning. The rating is based on some assumption about the expected result of A against C based on the expected result of A against B and the expected result of B against C. This assumption is based on the normal distribution and not on games. It is possible that we can get better assumption by playing games in the way that I suggest. suppose A1 beats A0 600-400 A2 beats A1 600-400.... A1000 beat A999 600-400 We may assume that the rating of A0 is 0. The question is what is the rating of A1000 and if we can expect the same rating for A1000 if we are going to play only 500 matches(A2 against A0,A4 against A2...A1000 against A998) Uri
