Reed Richards and Thanos play chess.

Who wins. Oh Thanos is not allowed to use telepathy

Thanos because he's had more practice - n besides Tony Stark has beaten Reed at chess before.

Thanos because of his telepathy and arguably superior intellect.

Thanos. He is actually smarter than Reed. He is also more devious and a better tactian.

@the creator: When you think about it that way, a lot of people may be able to beat Reed in chess.(not an overly abundant amount, but you get the point.)

Thanos, for all the reasons listed above and more.

But isn't Reed smart enough to know Thanos has telepathy, get the Scilian Defence in his mind and then whammo changes to the Ward Gambit!

@batkevin74: lol

I don't know but I would love to see that game!

Most likely Thanos.

Reed is probably smarter, but chess is a game of strategy and not raw intelligence, and Thanos far excels over Reed in strategic thinking.

Thanos.
