What will be the impact of chess being solved?

so this means nameass and andy are the same.  

That is an interesting theory.... let's shoot for hypothesis....it is more believable, atleast scientifically speaking....what do you like flags?

i like flags.  

No, no, no.  A nugget is a bud from a cannabis sativa plant. 

Shows what kinda' taste dogs have.  Those three are my favourites.

But I like those last three (four)!

Could you clarify your " don't bother list"...but you like them still ?

BTW Goldie...I gotta better program, I am compiling some analyses for staff...Calamondin has been working with me...I got two accounts already

Sorry for the troubles previously....

Yes, of course. Hence the relationship to candy.

The four at the bottom are good, if not time-ravaged. Reese's, Butterfingers, and Mountain Bars are often distressed candy but nice when fresh. Paydays are sometimes a little stale.

yeah I agree paydays are stale sometimes, but I also have notced when unshelling peanuts, they are stale too....so I am used to them.....I love paydays and wish they'd resurrect the choclate covered version....do you like the reese's fast break ?

It seems like Paydays were made different when I was a kid. I don't mean with chocolate. Just that the candy was different, and better tasting.

They had a chocolate-covered Payday in the 80s but it was fake chocolate, so I didn't care for them. Good idea though.

I guess they briefly had a special, real chocolate-covered one much later but I don't think I even saw it.

I like the Fastbreak and the Nutrageous. The Whipps are fake chocolate and less a favorite. I guess the easter egg Reese's went to fake chocolate as well.

Peanuts and chocolate: winning combo for me.

I think the innards were more vanilla-fudgy then?

Memory can be tricky.

I look at chocolate similarly to wine....the most expensive isn't ncessarily the best tasting or most satisfying and the cheap stuff is certainly bitter...

Could be. I just know I'm not crazy about em now.

Fake is the new real.

Also.

Even if there were, math still has everyday utility so the comparison's pretty flawed for a number of reasons.

Tic-tac-toe is solved and it's still played extensively.

Checkers (or Draughts) is solved and it too is still played extensively.

Connect four is solved, yet I still see them in the stores....

Yeah, I agree.  Not sure what you're unclear about -- I'm simply adding that the fact that there is everyday utility for even the simplest math means that there are other compelling reasons that folks would continue to use it regardless.  Not so with idle games like Chess and the others I listed above.

Let me try it this way:

Someone else: Bear green toe are big very ("statement" without meaning) => The sky is blue (implied statement)

You: Bears don't have green toes.

Me: Even if they did, it would have little bearing on the colour of the sky.

That bear needs to see a vet.
