Chess will never be solved, here's why

At times I cant tell if Dubrovnik is serious or just milking fun reactions by feeding us AI spam or one of the three insults he knows.

And #19606?

Fool was the perfect response.

That is what makes chess imposible to solve.

On the contrary; if you can always find the perfect response, you're well on the way.

MARattigan

No, I'll agree with that.

Have you thought of an answer to #19606 yet?

MARattigan

Yes, that was a good answer to #19606, but a trifle incomplete. Could you elaborate?

Just posting for achievement. Sorry lads

If you're struggling with the language, Google translate is quite a good AI application these days. It will do Croatian.

MARattigan

Sorry if I tried to distract you back onto the thread topic. As you were.

OctopusOnSteroids

Lmao. It seems as if MARattigan was desparately trying to feed instructions to a chatbot in any way possible but keeps receiving a "sorry, could you repeat that again?"

@Dubrovnik-195

Would you still maintain that the only way to solve chess is to do a full width search of the whole game tree?

Does @Dubrovnik-195 really not understand that a weak solution of chess (what is normally mean by a "solution", just as for other games like checkers, connect4 etc.) is not a full width search?

I suppose Grok 3 omitted to tell him.

MARattigan

Apparently.

MARattigan

Really? Where? (I knew it was unreliable, but obviously not how unreliable.)

You know those long post. With the questions and answers from Grok....

Look there fraudster.

Does that mean you didn't really see it at all and you're just relying on having dumped enough junk on the thread so that nobody will be able to check? I wonder, what would you call somebody that does that sort of thing?

That question has been ask and answered.

But if you want to try and refute it, we will add that to your unrefuted list.

Please tell us how you are going to make a weak solution to chess. That solves chess.

That question has been asked. To repeat it was:

But it hasn't been answered.

And your original statement was that Grok asserted, "A weak solution does not solve chess.", so your last sentence is just a red herring. I asked you where it said that (also not answered).

Game theory is a branch of mathematics that studies how rational agents interact and make decisions in strategic situations. It can help you improve your problem solving skills by providing tools and frameworks to analyze the incentives, outcomes, and best responses of different players in a game.Sep 18, 2023

What about combining mathematics and computer 🖥 science?

Combinatorial game theory is a branch of mathematics and theoretical computer science that typically studies sequential games with perfect information. Study has been largely confined to two-player games that have a position that the players take turns changing in defined ways or moves to achieve a defined winning condition. Combinatorial game theory has not traditionally studied games of chance or those that use imperfect or incomplete information, favoring games that offer perfect information in which the state of the game and the set of available moves is always known by both players. However, as mathematical techniques advance, the types of game that can be mathematically analyzed expands, thus the boundaries of the field are ever changing. Scholars will generally define what they mean by a "game" at the beginning of a paper, and these definitions often vary as they are specific to the game being analyzed and are not meant to represent the entire scope of the field.

Obviously it does solve chess. Weakly. Better get rid of this garbage nomenclature anyway. Start again, this time with no game theorists to add their dose of it going to slove it weakly. Until it has solved chess.

How do you know what moves to remove. From the weak solution? What moves do you play for whites first move?

Think about it....

You don't remove any moves from the weak solution you just play the ones that come up from the start of the game according to the solution. And you get the right result (or the best possible result depending on which definition of "weak solution" you use).

For White's first move - see above. White's first move will depend on the solution.

To state that a weak solution of chess solves chess is a truism as @Optimissed pointed out. The statement doesn't offer to provide a specific solution.

The flip side is that to state that a weak solution of chess does not solve chess, as you claim Grok did is an oxymoron. It seems unlikely that Grok is programmed so badly.

MARattigan

Agreed. It only works if you're moronic enough to understand the basic concepts.
