Is Chess on the verge of being solved?

You know that world famine and poverty were also solved in theory. It seems that when people play the game, there is no such thing as "solved"

XiangQi (and its Korean equivalent), Shogi, Chess (and its predecessors), and Go (as well as a few others) are pretty much the only traditional board games that are only partially solved, whilst the rest of the simpler games have been submerged by the waters of human and computer intelligence. 

Chess, with its ever-rising popularity, would most likely be the first of the list to be solved. Likewise, the other board games, with its lower popularity, would be solved much later because not as much people try.

Plus, all the board games also have a philosophical realm; a realm which no computer (and not many humans) can ever tread no matter how hard they try. That's the only bright side of chess being solved that I can think of.

Chess is a LONG way from being solved. Countless trillions of times more computing power are needed than the games that have been solved.

...you all miss the point.

...the reason chess 960 was put into play was because "memorization"...which is the meaning of "being solved" has been, by computer has overtaken human memory...

..."solving" is 00the question of "has chess lost it's predictiability ?...yes...that is why is it "solved".

chess 960 has removed ( for a time ) such predictability..

...if you wish to "unsolve chess" then you must give the robot a fourth command...

....you may not play chess.

...isamov would understand ( but i think few of you do not )...

...i am fahrenheit 451...

No. Even if it was, it wouldn't really change the game.

.i am fahrenheit 451...? I read that book, and I am wondering what within the book you are referencing to.

..i am pride and predudice...

I am crime and punishment!

I am stranger than a very strange land.

Sorry, what is a radio shack? Just kidding, I'm old like you.

I solved chess, but unfortunately the margin on this webpage is not big enough to post the proof.

In 2012:

Please describe your breakthrough.

I AM THE LAW

The key step was being inspired by Pierre Fermat to make a joke.

there are more possible chess games then the atoms on earth. if chess is going to be solved it will take at least 1000 more years

I wouldn't even try to predict the advances the human race will make in the next 1000 years, should it survive that long. You're looking at a complex system of interacting exponentials with many unknowns, which could lead to wildly different results. Let's try to make it through the next 100 years first.
