How many chess players does it take to change a lightbulb?
The World Champion enters a dark room. He sends for his team of seconds to fix the problem and wanders off to find food.
The World Champion’s team of elite GMs enters the dark room. They squabble for two weeks, before deciding if darkness is good enough for the Champion, it’s good enough for them.
An IM enters the room. He’s confident he can change the bulb but he can’t quite reach.
An expert enters the room. He’s spent a lot of money on lightbulbs but he’s never learned how to use them. He offers one to the GMs, who shrug and politely decline, stating they “prefer to discover their own lightbulbs”.
An amateur enters the room. It’s the middle of the day so he opens the curtains.
