Have you guys heard the theory that there is a line of play that cannot be beat. To explain what I mean, imagine two gods of infinite intelligence playing each other, would white win, or would black win, would it be a draw, or would it still forever be a toss up? Has there been research into this?
It would either be a draw or white would win. Black would certainly not win.
