Imagine a chess position of X paradigms.
Now, a chess computer rated 3000 solves that position. All well and good.
Could another computer rated a zillion solve that position better than Rybka?
No, because not even chess computer zillion could solve the Ruy Lopez better than a sad FIDE master could.
the point is, there's chess positions with exact solutions. Either e4, or d4, or c4, etc.
nothing in the world can change that.
So if you are talking about chess as a competitive sport, then chess has already been solved by kasparov, heck, by capablanca.
If you are talking chess as a meaningless sequence of algorithms, where solving chess equates not to logical solutions of positional and tactical prowess, but as 'how many chess positions could ensure from this one?'' type of solutions, then, the solutions are infinite.
So can chess be solved? If it is as a competitive sport where one side must, win, then it has already been solved. Every possible BEST move in chess has been deduced long ago.
If chess is a meaningless set of moves, with no goal in sight, then sure, chess will never be solved.
I have to say I can't understand why tygxc continues like this. All the self-appointed moral protectors of the innocent are on his case, to prevent the dastardly spreading of the malicious rumour that there was once a chess grandmaster who claimed that chess would be solved in five years, given willing helpers, the right equipment and a lot of glasses of sherry. The sweet type. Of course, his claim was impossible and therefore spreading the malicious lie that it's true cannot be tolerated. The forum police chase him everywhere.
Actually, I can't see why ty doesn't quietly drop it, since, after the year or so of teasing he would have to endure, it would be recognised that a lot of his ideas are better than those of some of his detractors.
