Chess will never be solved, here's why

What is solved?

Many things. How to make alcohol. Every possible move and combination in Checkers. Global communication networks have a solution, too... 
Lots of things. 
So you have to be a little more specific.

I know you did. Hence why I clarified something, and then answered to it. You seemingly ignore the topic now and only focus on refuting verbose accusations. Are you aware that you are a troll?

OK. With regard to chess, what does solved mean?

He's somewhat chameleon-like and is rapidly diffusing into a normal person. Give the lad time!

Lad aside and BTT:

"Solved" means every possible position has a known perfect response without ever losing due to optimal play.

But we don't know the perfect moves yet. Chess isn't solved because of that. Current engines don't know perfect moves. They calculate millions of positions and pick the "best" based on evaluation, but they can't see every possibility to the end of the game. There are simply too many variations (more than atoms in the universe). That's why top engines still lose to each other.

Chess will be "solved" when we can prove the result of perfect play from the starting position (win for white, win for black, or draw) and demonstrate the exact moves to achieve it. Until then, even the strongest engines are just incredibly good approximations, better than any human ever could be, but still not perfect.
Once perfect = chess solved. 
Until that day, it's unsolved. 
Checkers, Tic-Tac-Toe, etc, are much simpler games with way fewer possibilities. So for computers it was a lot easier to solve those games. Those games are deemed "solved".

A telling admission.

Why an admission? Why is it telling? The answers to this and other questions will be revealed when we perfect drivelvision. Invest in drivelvision now! You know it makes no sense.

...and a telling deflection attempt.

We cant exactly rule out having a perfect solution for every position and still losing by force due to opposing optimal play lol

Where there's nothing but thin air to deflect, then no attempt need be made. Therefore it was not a deflection attempt. So why was it telling?

Then the perfect solution to that position would be a loss. A perfect solution--all the way to checkmate or any form of draw--just means we know the end result every possible continuation, and the opponent has a clear route to unavoidable victory. Any chance to change the result would lie in the moves leading to the position in question.

chess been solved it called a draw!
