Chess will never be solved, here's why


Chess is the original War game from India around 2500 years back.
unlike other games a variety of differentiated pieces in play all move in different ways unlike for example draughts or checkers.
a simple mathematical calculation will tell you how huge are the possible variations in moves.
and by the way mastery of chess is mastery of the endgame where 56. E4 is a win and 56. E5 is a loss. Most chess.com players will easily lose a win game in the endgame!!
A chess engine or computer can calculate maybe 25 moves ahead a good human only 6 or 8 that's why Deep Blue could win against the world champion.
Chess is truth . It's impossible to fake your result in the chess board no matter how much you bluff or bluster.
finally Paul Murphy on chess
to play Chess, is the sign of a Gentleman
To play chess Well, is the sign of a WASTED LIFE!!!
Chess is a very good game but, should be kept in its place. NOT the be all and end all of the Universe!!

I like @morphy1001 's post.
Regarding the top levels of chess players - some have handled it well - others have not.
Euwe - Bottvinnik - Lasker. They all did not seem to let the game beat them.
Fischer didn't do so well.
But maybe - a lot of that has to with things beyond chess - not the game itself.

"Chess is the original War game from India around 2500 years back."
Yes - chess had predecessors in India.
One of them was called Chatturanga I believe.
And could the idea of pawns being promoted in 'afterlife' be connected with 'reincarnation' beliefs in that part of the world ?
Just remarking there might be a connection there.

I am related to Fischer!?
My view on promotion, a loyal footsoldier can become a fieldmarshal....
Good choice I think of top players not obsessed, Mikhail is the "Russian doyen" an AI Research establishment director in real life, chess is quite correctly very important to Russia (not related to the war, please try and forget for a moment). It's like music an unique international language currency and fellowship similar to the scientific community.

Bottvinnik isn't the strongest player ever.
But he may be the Greatest.
When you consider the scope and magnitude of his achievements -
both inside chess and outside chess -
and what his chess career might have looked like if there hadn't been this 'obstacle' called World War II.

No. Please can I repeat vigorously. Life does not imitate chess it's a game life is real. Sort of.
Take the tip from Morphy. Or beat him at chess....

There's even a theory that every chess game would end in a draw if nobody makes a mistake.
That's never been proven and might never be proven ...
(want it Disproven right away? Lol ! Somebody doesn't make a mistake but they lose on the Clock ! )

No such things as mistakes in general
it's like psychometric texting everyone has their own style.
What ?? No 'mistakes' in chess ??
You walk into mate in one and didn't have to?
That's 'style'?
Well its certainly 'style' on a way to look at it.

In general.
NOT about silly errors
A gigantic portion of errors are 'blunders'. 'Silly' errors.
Anyway - my point continues to stand.
The theory that 'the game will end in a draw if nobody makes a mistake' can be disproven fast.
Because the game doesn't end in a draw if your flag goes down.
You can play as perfect as you like - but no draw once that time has run out first.
And that's the general figurative 'you'.
Its also never been proven as to whether each of white's 20 first moves would be draw - win or loss if both players play 'perfectly'.
And it might never be.

Sorry folks no such things as perfect play in a whole game in Chess. Just think about it for fifteen minutes.
