God-Level Defense by White

The picture shows a 7*8 board.
God-level and 3+0 seem incompatible.

It is my understanding that we don't have chess "solved." How can one have God-level defense if one is not perfect? Okay, I'll shut up now...

Well obviously, the 7×8 board is just part of the divine ruleset. And I’d argue 3+0 makes the defense even more impressive.

@DoomedBishop
Yeah, I guess I’m using “God-level” a little more loosely than the literal theological definition.

"divine ruleset"

  • Without queens...

"theological definition"

  • Steinitz said he could win against God, and Fischer thought with white he could draw against God...
    However God-level makes think ICCF correspondence, not 3+0 blitz.

I suppose maybe this was less “God playing perfect chess” and more “God trying not to panic realizing he only has 30 seconds left and making the best out of it.”
