"P.S. Chess is exactly like tic tac toe - just has significantly more move choices...its still a finite game...which will be solved."
Since computers also have a finite limit to how powerful they can be, limited, essentially by the speed of light, and Planck's constant, it's entirely possible for a game with a finite number of possibilities to be too complicated to ever be solved, due to the finite life of the universe.
Computers are currently struggling trying to figure out all the positions if 7 pieces were on the board. They are not even close to figuring out all the positions if 32 pieces are on the board. 100 years is optimistic, 10 is insane.
Anyways, actually regarding your post. I think solving chess might end competitive chess (sort of like how you don't play tic tac toe if you draw every time). However, like checkers, reversi, and soduku people will never give it up on a casual level
How many have you played? No world champion has ever beaten me at chess either! This is a fact! Ofcourse, I have never played one.
