Antichess: Solved Win for White

Sort:
Play-banned

I have heard that after 1.e3 its a guaranteed win for white with perfect play. Then why hasn't someone memorised all the lines yet and has won every game that he plays? Also what are the billions of lines that I need to memorise? Also are there concepts behind every move in the sequence?

he is just spamming now...

He is not trolling or spamming, it has been known since 2016 that what he says is the case. If White plays perfectly after 1.e3, there is no way for Black to equalize.

Thanks josephruhf for posting that link --

Thanks Play-banned for asking the question.

but it's obvious that unless you are a robot or you have an infinite mental capacity then there's no way to force a win

I agree -- but I did not know that it was solved by a computer.

To my knowledge, standard chess has not been solved by a computer yet.

1.e3 d6, 1.e3 d5, 1.e3 g6 and 1.e3 Na6 are relatively trivial forced wins, White absolutely wins in less than 20 moves.
