By having better computing power.

Which Reed has.

By being phucking Reed Richards no expression

.

Seriously, superman may have a faster processing brain, but Reed's brain will process things so much better than Clark's that it will overcome his speed every single time.

Draw.

The ones that think Reed can predict everything forget he never sees the next Doom plot or attack from the Mole man.

He is smart, but not psychic. They split the matches.

Because what Moleman or Doom can do have a near infinite amount of possibilities (especially what Doom can do). There are a set amount of ways a chess match can go. And while the number of ways it can play out is incredibly high, for a guy like Reed, it shouldn't be too hard for him to calculate every outcome.

Yes, because that is very similar to chess.

I'm being sarcastic, you were not going to pick up on that.

Not to the level Superman can, imo.

Reed can't see every possible move to the level that superman can see every possible move? How does that make any sense.

Why not?

There isn't a time limit per move.

Because Superman can calculate and predict more moves than Reed can. It's not a question of intelligence, more processing power.

What would a time limit have to do with it?

I mean sure, considering chess has only so many pieces and so many routes, Reed is going to predict a hell of a lot. Like I said, it's just processing power.

Wouldn't Reed have more processing power than Superman? Superman just has faster processing power.

Seriously, though, computing and analyzing every single possible move in chess is a weak sauce feat for someone like Reed. Best case scenario is that Superman is able to draw with him.

Because Reed can take all the time he wants to take into multiple scenarios.

You're essentially comparing a super computer (Supes) to a calculator (Reed) in solving a math problem. Not that I agree with your comparison, but we'll go with it, if there's no time limit the difference doesn't matter.

I know.

It's not going to really matter either way.

reed recreated chess, and all the grandmasters when the universe was remade from his mind after it was nullified.

Is Karparove smarter than Einstein? No. But I bet he would beat him in chess though.
