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

Santa gave the writer the gift of sleep.

Hell by another name is just as infernal.

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

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

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.

If A = ,forget it. What's the fastest, no, not that either. Black holes. , why dogs can..., what make a..., I think I need to do a crossword.

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

You’re allowed to interpret it however you want.

In my mind though, they’d become a standing soldier who would spend most of their time living however they did before they were drafted and get called upon whenever whoever needs them, or whatever.

Quickly the hall did grow silent. Silence was a rare occurrence in a hall so merry and drunk. For such an occasion to occur drew the god of wisdom Odin. A child stood near the gates, a lone wolf by her side, and a raven on her shoulder.

"Child." Odin asked. "May I ask what many great deeds thou hast accomplished to join us this morrow?"

The child trembled in front of the all mighty god. She barely looked up at all, but for every warrior's eyes we're on her. As she continued to shake Odin sensed a response would be delayed from her. Instead he picked her up in his arms and carried her towards a table of feasts and pleasantries. Noticing her eyes gleaming he whispered into her ear "you may take anything your heart desires."

Meekly the girl looked down at the meal and switches her gaze to the old gold. "May I share with my siblings?"

"Thy siblings have yet to join us, however if thou so would to share, you may." Odin simply replied.

Upon hearing this the child nodded her head, and proceeded to grab bountiful food upon her plate. Warrior's near her offered to share from theirs end of the neverending feast. Her mouth grew agape with each offering to her. All eyes were upon the skinny lass, and all but a few mutters could be heard.

Plate after plate child ate, and drank. Before finally she did reach her full. Odin sat beside her and again asked her the question of how she had come to be there.

"Well...." she started "My name is Emily, and I'm almost eight years old!" she nodded assertively. "I live with my mommy, and my siblings, and I don't have a daddy. My mommy calls him a good for nothing fuc-"

"Thou need not to repeat such vulgar words dear child." Odin assured her. "Truly say to us what thou doth."

"Boy.... Okay, I understand! Mommy plays this game with me and my siblings a lot. We don't tell anyone anything and she promises not to hit us!"

"I beg thy pardon?"

"Yeah! Although sometimes she breaks her promise." she looked down. "She breaks promises a lot, so I take care of my siblings instead! And that's really hard work!" she assured them. "Like I'll make a fire when it's cold and mommy locks us out to have friends over. Or I'll cook us all dinner with blackberries I find in the yard. Or this one time mommy locked my baby sister up because she kept crying because she was sick and I nursed her back to health! But I got put in the cupboard for a few days for doing that though...." she explained before hanging her head low.

The hall was left speechless at each remark of the young girl before Odin broke it to ask a simple question.

"Child, how did thou come up on here?"

Emily glanced over to the god before answering "Something went bang."

You could hear a pin drop between that of the greatest warriors and gods in history.

"Something went bang?"

Emily nodded. "Yeah a gun went bang, mommy was really up set with my little brother and sister. I called the cops cuz she was scary and that made her even more mad and she took out her gun and starting yelling at us. She decided to go bang at my little sister but I jumped in front of it! I'm a really fast runner!"

"The next thing I know a big puppy was leading me instead and I birdie landed on my shoulder!" Emily giggled. "I love animals!"

Odin picked Emily up from her seat and carried her up to his throne. "Dearest child, it appears thou hast never had a parental figure in thy's life. Dearest Emily, I shall be honored to be the first, if you so allow."

When Emily nodded Odin openly smiled at her. "Then I bestow upon you the name of Sigrid, for a name meaning of wisdom and of beauty. From this day upon, you are my daughter. To that we shall toast for all eternity."

(Edit: Had to finish the story after accidently pressing post, and spelling corrections.)

I found a loophole. Lets say soldiers die in battle. If that was their first job wouldn't they fight for all eternity? And for who? And against who? And why?

You’re a mind reader, not a Game Genie.

God: what are you doing?

Humanity: ... nothing

God: Is that a doomsday weapon specifically designed to put a hole in my patio floor? Humanity: ...no

God: ok but just in case used Languages... it was super effective

Humanity: WAS IN GOTTES NAMEN IST EIN 塔?

While other heroes have superpowers or gadgets, all you have is a sentient cape that backtalks!

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

Your welcome

Genuine happiness if course, thanks for letting me know!

Like I said, interpret it however you please.

Is that sarcasm or are you genuine happy. I cant tell the difference

So... Hell.

I work retail
