The answer is clearly and literally GOD ONLY KNOWS.
This is essentially the same question as when will chess as a game be solved? meaning, that you can prove empirically that with best play (aka no mistakes) on both sides does white win? or is it a draw? or does black win? (yes, this is possible until we know for sure. maybe having to move first - ala white - is actually a disadvantage in a perfectly played game as black puts white in Zugzwang and wins?)
Seriously, unless a supercomputer could literally play out every single possible move, of every single possible variation and every single length of game, we cannot know.
so refer to my opening sentence.
How does god know? Did he anakyze every possible chess game

I do not need to know perfect play for every game to understand the game of chess is a draw with perfect play!!!!!
But isn't perfect play exactly what someone needs to know before they can understand if chess is a draw or not? When it comes to perfection I would say being 99.99% sure of something is the same as being 00.01% sure of something. Both aren't perfect. It seems to me that since no one, human or machine, has ever seen perfect play it doesn't make sense to say perfect play leads to anything. It's never been done. Since we are all just guessing, I can guess that I'm 99.99% sure with "perfect play" white always wins.
