Outsmarting Nigh-Omniscience

If someone is able to create a plan so complex and well thought out that it's enough to outwit a nigh-omniscient entity, what intelligence rating would they get?
Super Genius is what it would usully give, and very good example is to look at the NGNL verse where characters people are capable of outsmarting and even beating omniscient and nigh omniscient beings in stradegy games such as chess. A perfect example would be Sora and Shiro beating Tet in a chess game. Though it should be noted they had more feats to back it up. But it should still qualify for Super Genius.

Hmm, interesting. Thank you!
 
I would have been unsure, but based on our new updates, I suppose Super Genius works.
 
Nigh-Omniscience -- having almost all understanding. With miniscule gaps here and there (an exploitable weakness). For them to be outwitted:

1) they have to be caught off unaware of something they do not have knowledge of
2) having something up ones sleeves that is not take into consideration

This is a prime example of how Dr. Manhatten was stripped of his powers by Ozymandias (a mere mortal). Things would have turn out different if was fully omniscience, thus having knowledge of what the latter was up to.

You can't outwit someone who is fully omniscience (they would have knowledge of what you would be thinking and is fully are of it).
