I might be sorry for chiming in after reading some of the early comments. I think there's everything from quantum physics to Oswald conspiracy theories here.

What I've learned is even though Chess is ultimately finite, the subset that we as humans are able to explore is essentially infinite. We will never play every game which could possibly be played, even the good ones. I have sent an email to Dr. David Kipping, Planet Hunter, of Columbia University to ask him to apply his extensive statistical skills towards Chess. How many worthwhile games, say 800 and above FIDE, could ever possibly be played? ***** I'm not sure where the argument stands, but it seems that chess has been solved to a certain degree. Will it ever ultimately be solved? Guess it's time for me to go back through the comments.

This thread is largely garbage compared to others on the topic.  Try this one out, though:

Try that thread and he gets to troll you if he disagrees with your opinion. If you get annoyed and say something back, he'll warn you. Then he'll troll you some more and then he'll block you when you say something indiscreet.

He's a troll who trolls his own threads. Noted for it. Doesn't like being disagreed with.

"Noted" by one person, yes.

People can form their own opinions by reading the thread.  It's a damn sight better than any of the other solving chess threads.

"Doesn't like being disagreed with" is more your epitaph than mine.

btickler, you regularly warn and report people who advertise their blogs and clubs in threads that are not even your own, yet here you are doing exactly the same thing. Spamming.  How unlike you!

It's directly related, and was posted in context, given that somebody was wondering if this solving chess thread is a worthwhile read.  

You're not that good at turning things around on people.  You'll need to seek vengeance elsewhere.

Well, I just took a look. I looked at two of your posts and in each one, you were abusing a different person. Neither was me because you've blocked me. Incidentally, how can it be the best thread on the subject and I'm miles and miles cleverer than you but I'm blocked from it? Just wondering.

Obvious answer is you're not miles and miles cleverer than @btickler. It's obvious from your posts that you haven't got the slightest grasp of the subject.

Your assessment of yourself is (notably, and not just by one person) off.  That's not the reason why, though.  You are blocked from my threads because of the Covid thread block.  If I could block only for a single thread, I would do so.  Consequences.

You went off the tangent. Chess is solved no matter is a draw or a win.

read Revelation 22:13

If it's the man on the other end of @tygxc's big red telephone, you need to take everything with a pinch of salt.
