im gonna be honest if youve climbed to the chess championships mind-reading other peoples thought processes and watching these games play out, youre absolutely going to be able to beat a 100 bot

This prompt makes no sense tbh. You can’t be on the level of grand masters by reading their minds and not understand the basics of chess. Anyone who took 5 minutes to learn the bare minimum about chess would easily destroy a 100 elo bot

Yeah, it’s mostly an exaggeration. I just wanted to have a player who everyone thinks can play chess be absolutely schooled by someone like Martin, and this was the only way I could think of that happening.

This reminds me of a story of a creature that was really dumb but could foresee the future and survived by living only the future it liked most. I don't remember the name of the book.

Even if they didn’t, he can read the minds of anyone observing the match and use their ideas for moves. A bunch of other chess players watching this match? They’re thinking about all the possible moves, and he can just latch onto that EZ.

Even if he doesn’t win, he’ll have managed to keep his reputation as someone who can play chess at all.

Also, you would think that they've picked up on at least the rules and some basic strategies from the constant mind reading

Right? Just because you know their move doesn't mean you know how to counter it. You'd still have to know actual chess

Mind reading won’t work on a bot. That’s just science.

The true “gotcha” for this prompt is that a toddler could beat a 100 elo bot. I think if I let my cat walk on a chess board and translated those moves to the game against the bot, the cat would still win

The fact that a complicated series of if statements isn't a brain.
