[QUOTE=MooMoo2;584164]Do you think you'd be able to pull off a victory?[/QUOTE]

No. Not a chance. Perhaps a true 0% probability. I simply didn't start training early enough.

Similarly, even in the mental domain, I can only introduce people to the game of Go.

I appreciate the beauty of the simplicity. But some who I introduce to the game beat me after the introduction exercises.

I played Division I soccer in college (my 20's), and could probably beat a USMNT player if they had 6 months of [I]complete[/I] inaction. It would only be because physically I would be quicker and in better shape then they would be [I]at that point in time[/I]. I was never good enough to be a professional, but [I]might[/I] be good enough given your parameters.
