Ultimate Rubiks Cube

"The Rubik's Cube is an iconic puzzle toy. But it is mathematically complicated — there are 43 quintillion possible configurations of the Cube. Over 30 years after the Cube was invented, a group of mathematicians showed, using a bank of supercomputers at Google, that any cube could be solved in at most 20 moves."

Any cube can be solved in at most 20 moves, an interesting fact, and from those 43 quintillion possible configurations humans are able to rapidly solve the cubes as well, with championship cube solvers completing the cubes in mere seconds.

In the case of humans, a set of algorithms are employed which can be used solve the cube from any position.

Is chess a large rubiks cube within which the set of algorithms to solve all the positions has yet to be discovered?

Are you burning up your brains trying to think about move sequences when the reality is there is a simple algorithm to follow for every position on the board?

There is only one final position for a Rubik's cube and one fastest path to reach it.
In chess there are many, many final drawn positions and many, many ways to reach any of those.

So basically, you are saying that chess could be a solved game?

Of course chess can be solved, it is a matter of resources.

I was talking to the OP but ok.

He means it could be solved with *simple* rules.

The rules for solving rubiks cubes can be written on a single side A4 sheet of paper.

I doubt the same is true with chess.

I get his point. I know how to solve a rubik's cube so I know the "simple" rules too. But even if you could divide chess into simple rules (for the sake of an example lets say opening, middlegame and endgame) the possibilities are just huge and there is no simple algorithm for every position, yet, and I don't think we should be fantasizing about the future unless we have strong computers to do such things.

Sorry but that is not the topic being discussed.
