Let's see. A 400 point differetial between the higher rated player and the lower rated player means that the higher rated player would be expected to score 100%, right? Now with Kasparov and Kramnik at about 2800 or so, then if some God-like entity can whip them to the tune of a 100% score in a match (about 3250 Elo), this means that another Super-God-like entity would be able to clobber that God-like entity by a 100% score. That's some pretty damn good chess!!
