Mob Intelligence: Could the world defeat a chess grand master?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) March 20th, 2013

I was reading up earlier, how mob decisions based on votes tend to lean towards the most intelligent and best solution to a problem.

So I was wondering, if we gave 6 billion non-chess players the ability to vote what piece to move next in a game of chess, would they be able to defeat a grand master?

In other words, do you think that 6 billion people voting, could lead to moves that could defeat a grand master?
