With human race using only 10% of our brain,how can humans play better chess to beat top computer?

Question

Looking for info on this subject to find ways to increase I.Q. and chess skill above rating of 3000.the highest I.Q. I have ever
heard of was 210.

Answer 1

The 10% of the brain use claim is a total myth and false. There is zero percent of the data to support it.

"Where Did the 10% Myth Begin?
The 10% statement may have been started with a misquote of Albert Einstein or the misinterpretation of the work of Pierre Flourens in the 1800s. It may have been William James who wrote in 1908: "We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources" (from The Energies of Men, p. 12). Perhaps it was the work of Karl Lashley in the 1920s and 1930s that started it. Lashley removed large areas of the cerebral cortex in rats and found that these animals could still relearn specific tasks. We now know that destruction of even small areas of the human brain can have devastating effects on behavior. That is one reason why neurosurgeons must carefully map the brain before removing brain tissue during operations for epilepsy or brain tumors: they want to make sure that essential areas of the brain are not damaged."

You are starting out with incorrect assumptions and misunderstandings. Thus the only logical conclusion is that the inquiry will lead to false conclusions.

Answer 2

Because humans have the power of intuition. But nowadays, with the heuristics that have been programmed into chess computers, and there ever growing speed, humans can no longer match the top computers at chess. And the gap will get much wider in years to come.

Answer 3

Because chess is a perfect information game (there are no random and hidden factors to consider) the entity with the better memory can win. Human have imagination on our side so taking a calculated risk or two during play can thwart the plans of any available consumer chess program.

Answer 4

No one will ever beat a top-level computer again. That has been true for years in blitz play--and now extends to tournament play as well. (And again we see this goofy "10% of our brains" thing--I wish that old wives' tale could be laid to rest.) Furthermore, mere IQ points don't really have much to do with it (another worn-out myth). Practicing is MUCH more important in chess proficiency (as with everything else).

Answer 5

because computers dont have instincts(gut feelings), the computer bets the odds.....

the same thing applies to no limit Texas hold em, you can bet the odds all day...but the true pros like Chris Ferguson play off of instinct and the opponent

Answer 6

Humans are better at nothing. When the position requires nothing humans do nothing much better. Sounds like a joke, but it isn't.

Answer 7

If the computer isn't designed to give humans a fair chance, then we can't beat it.
