I asked AI if it could solve chess. Here is the answer.

At the moment, I don't have the ability to "solve" chess in the sense of calculating all possible combinations and outcomes from every starting position (due to the colossal complexity of the task), but I can provide analyses and examine specific chess positions using algorithms and evaluations that are used in modern chess programs.

With the advancement of artificial intelligence and the progress in computational power, there is no doubt that in the future, AI will be able to achieve even deeper and more accurate analyses of chess games. It's possible that in the future, I or another AI system will be able to perform even more detailed calculations and analyses of the game, coming closer to "solving" chess, but at this stage, we still can't calculate absolutely all the possibilities of chess 100 moves ahead.

If progress is made in this type of computation and analysis, it will likely be through innovative technologies like quantum computers, which have the potential to speed up calculations exponentially. However, this is still in the future.

For now, I can assist with analyzing specific games, strategies, and tactics in chess, as well as discussing variants, but a full solution to chess is not something that is achievable with current technology.
