Gotta go with L

I'd have to say L.
He could probably predict your every move. >.>

This would be hard to decide since we don't really have any way to rate their intellects (as most have some bullcrap magical intuition, rather than logic). I usually hate the way genius characters are portrayed in manga because it is soo ridiculous.

L probably takes the cake though as it was entirely with his gut instinct that he was onto Light. Sure there were tons of speech bubbles of him trying to explain his "logic" but there were just soo many variables with the Death Note that it was just bull the way he guessed everything.

Same thing with Lelouch. Every single time he "outsmarted" his enemies, he had set everything prior and just basically hoped it would go his way. Geniuses in manga are not really all THAT smart, they only have this inane ability to guess what is likely to happen. In reality it is not so simple to predetermine a person's actions and actually get it right.

Anyway my bet is on L, as he isn't really a genius but can most certainly read minds as well as make statistically impossible guesses.

I say Lelouch because...it's Lelouch. XD
Maybe it's because I haven't read Death Note(Don't plan to btw.), but I know he's some super evil genius guy.

Oh well, Lelouch ftw. : D~
He can make people do as he wishes, I don't think L can be immune to his power.

Most likely Lelouch would win.

Chess Match
Round One-- Lelouch:"Lelouch vi Brittania orders you to lose this chess match."
L:Yes Your Highness!
Lelouch wins
Round Two--Lelouch:"I command you to forfeit"
Shikimaru:"Ear plugging eye plugging justsu"
Lelouch:"impossible!"
Shikimaru:"I used the previous match to test your ability, L hasn't lost in vain. Time to use my ultimate technique ('gasp') silver knight annihilator(just a name I came up with considering Asuma always compared him to a knight)
Shikimaru wins
"yay"

Where is the 'I would win' option?

Plus, there is a flaw in the candidates you posted.

Shikamaru doesn't play Chess but he does play Shogi, they are completely different games. Basically, Shikamaru lost the moment it became a chess tournament.

Man...why are you people reducing Lelouch to such a level that he would actually need to use his geass to win a simple game of chess?


Besides, Ima agree with Ararara-ra that

id go with shikamaru, he's not only mildly intelligent but also had to think on the fly most of the time, as not to be killed by bad ninjas and such.

also because I've got a thing against death note, ishida isn't that smart even in bleach, conan is a different type of intelligence, and don't know the rest.

Lulu. Hello, he's playing chess the whole series >.>

Lelouch would win hands down. He knows the game well and has played it since he was a child.

Out of these choices, I think Shikamaru would win. My real choice however is Ed from Cowboy Bebop... she played for over a week straight, and, though she lost, the guy to whom she lost is dead...

The sudden dark horse would win.

I think it's more that fact that Lelouch has too much pride to use geass in a game.


He could know how to play chess, just prefers shougi.
