I can't help but think when quantom computing comes full circle a system where by the values of individual squares will change.  that white will be able to incrementally gain advantage and eventually a mid-game position will be dicovered that yields a won endgame with white.  It will of course be kept secret by the uscf so as not to take away from the allure of chess discovery.

The facxt that computers/chess engines will get even stronger does not mean that chess might be a win for White. There have been billions of chess games played in the last few hundred years. There is not one game Where White [ or Black] forced a win from move 1.

Why do we play? Ans,- We play to win through our competitive spirit, the thing is  that we win  on our opponents mistakes. The challenge is that both players contest that they will not be the first to 'seed' such a mistake. A draw proves the equality. All the rest is ratings.

Because we are humans and we always make mistakes

One thing is for sure,- 'there is no forced win in chess'. If it were the case then nobody would bother to play the game. So therein lies the answer-neither side can force win so the game must be drawn with best play. I rest my case, and agree with ponz111, - and my betters, the Masters!!

Sorry this is a stupid question, first of all because you have to proove it that your playing actually correspond to the best possible playing. Secondly because even if this is the case you cannot be sure of the outcome still, depending on wheather you play black or white and that's still have to be prooven by the fastest computer (and probably never will).Third just play your games and win if you can and don't worry too much about universal problem which don't bother you, that's all about chess and life.

Baseball is a draw with best play from both sides, but we still play that.  And in a hundred some years of trying, no pair of teams has come together yet to play a game that lasted infinite innings.  Probably never will.

Same deal with chess, pretty much.

You make a lot of assumptions here.  Why do you have to prove chess is a draw with best play?  Why do you think [seem to think] you playing a chess game will prove or disprove anything?

Why would you have to "worry" that chess is a draw? [or not a draw]

I do agree that you should play your games to win and not to "worry" about the "universal problem" [presume you mean chess is a draw question].

because everyday the sun rises is a good day Laughing

and every day I set up the pieces on the black and white,  I enjoy the fight~

Because it's so easy to avoid losing by just playing the best move all the time?
