Think your good at air hockey?
You will lose.
Scientists in Japan have developed a robot which is unbeatable at air hockey. The robot utilities a camera to track the movement of the puc at 500 frames per second. This means that even at frighteningly quick air hockey strikes (lets say it moves the 1M table in 0.1 seconds) the robot will see 50 frames of where the puc is travelling. Giving it plenty of time to move to attack, block or stay stationary is the shot is going to be ineffective.
It would be like playing against someone on ketamine, every action being depicted as super-slow-mo.
Not only does the robot have the ability of foresight, it also utilities a very smart adaptive playing style. It uses Motion Pattern Histogram data, which tracts the movement of the opponents paddle and can tell whether the opponent is playing aggressively or defensive over a period of time and can adjust its relative strategy accordingly.
So, however good you think you are, it will always be better.
Next thing to do?
Let a robot play a robot. It could be a never ending 0-0, or depending on how well they adapt it could be a forever tense infinity-infinity.
It would be interesting after a very long time to see if there was any difference in score. As to say that one previously identical program has developed itself further, or possibly due to the smallest detail such as assembly optimization.

history meme | 7 pairings [1/7] → Charlotte & Leopold
“Those beautiful hands which at last while she was talking to others seemed always to be reaching out for mine.”
Princess Charlotte was the unfortunate only daughter of King George IV and Caroline of Brunswick, destined to be the most beloved Queen of England ever known. Prince Leopold was born a minor prince into the even more insignificant family of Saxe-Coburg, whose ambitions stretched to each corner of the globe - and ended up as adviser to the greatest empire known to earth.The same tricks of fate that brought them together meant that their time together ended as quickly as it began.
Charlotte married Leopold for freedom from her family, and Leopold married Charlotte for riches and power. But they took no time in falling in love with one another.After just one year of a marriage described as a bliss, a paradise, Charlotte died after a horrific labour that resulted in the birth of a stillborn son. Nearly fifty years later, knowing that he was dying, King Leopold I of Belgium asked that his body be taken to England and buried in Windsor with his first wife and their son. But the King of the Belgians had to be buried among his people. In his last moments his heart and mind must have been in England, for as life left him he whispered ‘Charlotte… Charlotte.’
