If we take the scenario literally and think it through step by step:
* The man who can read minds knows exactly what the opponent intends to do at any given moment.
* The man who can see the future knows how the entire game will actually unfold, move by move, including the mind-reader’s own future thoughts and choices.

Here’s the twist:
The mind-reader can react instantly to what the future-seer plans, but the future-seer already sees the final outcome, which means he can alter his plan in ways that lead to the win anyway. In other words, any counter the mind-reader thinks of is already “baked into” the future the seer has seen.

Winner: The man who can see the future — because knowing the end result trumps knowing someone’s present thoughts. It’s like playing a chess game you’ve already won in your memory.

Though… if the mind-reader realizes the future-seer’s confidence and deliberately thinks misleading thoughts, it could get messy — like a psychological chess version of rock–paper–scissors.

I can explain that “mind-game feedback loop” scenario if you want — it’s actually pretty wild.
