My statement was neither arbitrary nor foolish. Its interesting that you have a penchant for unusual English words but you have such difficulties with basic communication.

He would not only 'make it without hesitation' but he could not do otherwise as he would have already have foreseen his own moves as well as those of his opponents.

Bingo! So well said; if for only a fleeting moment, twhitehead, for once we're finally in synch.

Is Bingo your suggestion for the next game Jesus could take up?

Would a supreme being fare any better in a game of luck?

Nah. It's just a colloquial expression in the United States of America
for a game of pure luck which wouldn't interest The G/M.

Edit Note: He may enjoy Blitz Chess on Red Hot Pawn.

Sorry to digress, but do you think luck plays a significant role in our mortal lives?

Not only would he be uninterested, but he couldn't play. Omniscience cannot co-exist with luck. They are mutually exclusive.

1) What would He choose for a Site Nickname, Location and Self Proclaimed Forum Title? 2) What would we see as His first three thread topics? 3) What tone and atmosphere would His presence create? 4) Would He treat all posters respectfully? 5) What if any questions would you ask Him in public or in Personal Messages? 6) What would His chess rating be? 7) Other?[/b]
Three questions:

1. Would He have to begin as a provisional player?

2. Would anyone dare challenge Him after reading John 3:30 ?

3. Is there anyone here arrogant enough to question His wisdom on the forums ?

1) Nickname: The LORD
2) The EVIL in the Theory of Evilution; Torment of Hell and the Lake of Fire; The New Heavens and Earth.
3) Both reverence and blasphemy
4) No. He would treat the posters as they deserve to be treated.
5) Will I be placed on your right?
6) 1200

First based on the bread of life discourse with the disciples: "Are You Thirsty and Hungry?"

Marginal though when it's good luck we tend to magnify its importance as if we owned the vault of serendipity.
Decisions matter; they govern the quality of our lives as well as our eternal address.

Another good point. Though "... he couldn't play" unless He played only the cards and games His omniscience knew would win.
