Chess will never be solved, here's why

I guess that answers the question. Chess will never be solved. At least doing it that way. 

Seems a lot easier to just figure it's a forced win for white.

++ No, Chess is a draw. The question is: how exactly to draw as black?

Doubly contrasting, an interesting fact is that a high-end graphics card from 2022 has as much computing power as the top 500 supercomputers in 1994, when the Internet was young.

Amazing that we can cram billions of transistors into such a small space... as well as mass manufacture these units affordably.

No, chess is a forced win for white. The question is, how many moves does it take?

My crazy dead uncle said he could prove chess is a win for white in just 5 years. "He felt that power."

This proves it's true.

And if anyone wants to give me $3 million and wait for 5 years I'll prove it too.

3 grandmasters * 100,000 $/year/grandmaster * 5 years = 1.5 million $
3 cloud engines = 3000 desktops = 3000 * 500 $            = 1.5 million $

Total                                                                                      3    million $

Try running those resources not for 5 years, but 5 billion years. It's a more reasonable estimate, though probably still many-many magnitudes too low.

Imagine how far 3 million dollars will go then. Probably barely enough to buy a used chess clock, circa 2022.

I can solve tictactoe for $10.  May not be so impressive, but it is surely a bargain. Also, I will not bodge the job like @tygxc.

asher48

optimissed I would rather try to employ @ tygxc. Because he is coming up with theories rather than just proving others wrong like you are

asher48

And then just being able to pop in and judge everyone Conversing

The point @tygxc is trying to get across is that it would take a lot of time, money, and effort keep it simple just leave it at that

asher48

But I do also understand optimissed

Guess we just can't all be as smart as you

Listen i'm not super smart about some things but I am good about telling other people what somebody is trying to communicate to them
