Is there such a thing as a perfect game? Can your opposition play right into your hands in order for you to  play that perfect game? Is it about position, pieces or both? I'd like to think there is no perfect game, yet I try and reach perfection but always stopped in the process.

 

 

Thoughts?

    Thank you for those long and interesting words HugeAcman, I love playing you at chess as you are unpredictable both on and off the board. I value your opinion of this game and I hope you will keep striving for perfection..

    Hey Mike. Personally I don't think there is such a thing as the 'perfect' game. 

    I like what you're trying to embark upon philosophically, regarding the statistical mathematics of chess' logical, stragetic, options, being close to exponentially infinite. If you can beat these seemingly close to infinite possibilities then the 'perfect' game becomes either predictable, or close to robotic. I am talking about the Grand Master players here. However. Every move has a countermove nigh on perfection apart from, (I don't know this for sure), unpredictibilty can 'throw' an opponents gameplan, and concentration. It is obviously about forward strategic planning and being able to change these plans depending on your opponents move(s). In my (not so sophisticated) chess opinion, the true cognitive Art of this unique game, is in the sacrifice of key pieces in order to psychologically lull the opposition into an arrogance of reticent moves eventually costing them the match. To me, this is as close to perfection as Chess gets. Allowing the opponent to think/know they are going to win, but having the necessary backup plan/moves to eventually annihilate them.
