Can William James Sidis the World's Smartest Man Beat AlphaZero if He Were Alive???
Sort:
No.
Yes. If estimates of IQ (250-300) are anywhere true.
William James Sidis 1898-1944 - After he lost his appeal, the once idolized Sidis didn’t live too much longer. In 1944, he died of cerebral hemorrhage at age 46.
Found by his landlady, the most intelligent man known to modern history left Earth as a penniless, reclusive office clerk.
Still no
Stick fish is at a strength where no human can beat them. I think under the right circumstances, Magnus could draw them. Even then, it would be difficult. Also, IQ doesn’t = chess ability. Just because he’s smart doesn’t mean he would be good at chess.

I've never heard of "Stick fish" before
The question is- could he “beat” A0... not be better at chess. Sidis was a mathematician of the highest degree. If so inclined he’d have studied the algorithms and found the means to win a game.
It’s not as if A0 doesn’t lose on occasion.
He graduated Harvard at 16. A full Professor at 17.
Huh? Kids don’t enter College till they’re 18. Imagine a younger professor than yourself !

that isn't proven, the currently proven smarted person is Kim Ung-yong - Wikipedia at least according to Guinness world records. Unfortunately, Guinness can get things wrong sometimes...
Cus there is this person
Marilyn vos Savant (yourdictionary.com)
Meant stock fish
Marilyn cos Savant is said to have the highest verifiable score for modern testing. Sidis like so many others can only be estimated.
Modern scores (established) over 200 are extremely rare- once in a lifetime. Scholars estimate Sidis IQ at a minimum of 250.

sidis iq was only estimated unfortunately...
And as the new generations of humans figure out new technologies, most people are now smarter than James Sidis. The people back then didn't have many things we have now, which makes them less smart. We have knowledge of quantum physics, coding, space exploration, which they didn't have back then.
Can William James Sidis the World's Smartest Man Beat AlphaZero if He Were Alive??? Thank YOU!!!
