Chess will never be solved, here's why

Maybe someday...

machines are becoming exceptionally proficient at narrowly defined, high-performance cognitive tasks.

The hype statement around Quantum computing and its qubits is that it could break cryptographies in a few hrs whereas usual binary computers would take millions of years to do so.

Found this pretty interesting video which covers the main advantages of quantum over binary execution, it seems that it could indeed potentialize some processes in ways that weren't thought possible before.

But if solving chess means processing 10¹²⁰—or tbh even half that number, say, 10⁶⁰—it's still such a gigantic amount of data, plus it's uncertain how far Grover's algorithm would extend to solve all chess positions.

Despite all that it's rather nice to fantasize with and try to picture how an AGI + Quantum combo would play out and which steps & logic it'd take towards ultimately solving chess.
