Game theory (was Is the initial position in chess a mutual Zugswang?) [OT]
wrote:
Note that in such a case, the "best play", even in chess, has become
probabilistic and psychological. The best move against a Karpov may
be different from the best move against a Fischer or a Kasparov or a
Kramnik.
Best play against Karpov and Kasparov: arrange to play one as White
and the other as Black and copy the moves between the two games.
Best play against Fischer: put a TV camera next to the board and hope
to win by forfeit.
Best play against Kramnik: make lots of mate threats and hope he falls
for one of them.
As such, you should be able to score at least 2/4 against these guys;
3/4 if Kramnik has a bad day.
