Wouldn't the number of computers you would need to solve chess be greater than the number of atoms in the universe?
Crap ones, yeah.
What happens if chess got solved?
Sort:
Were chess ever "solved," we'd all have a lot of idle time and publishers would lose a lot of book sales. Not likely though is it?
The same as now. I would know that there is someone out there that is 10 to the zillionth power better than me. Still won't matter when I'm playing my buddy over a beer though.
whateveryasaid - fisher was on that - he suggested that the bricks could be be set up random approx after 20 moves - then the master. Good question son, but also a waffel!!!???? Papa.
on this fora fisher is banned - so they gave up!!!!!!!
They dont undersatnd island or japan........
yeha
Good question
If chess got solved, nobody would dare playing 1. e4 anymore
If we took the current best processor in the world, and duplicated it, and networked it with a bunch of copys of itself all working together until the entire surface of the earth was covered in computers trying to solve chess together, we could maybe get it done in a million years.

10 to the zillionth power = 1 zillion
EDIT: Look at comment 42 for correction.

No. 10^z <> z (this is easily proved with a little knowledge of mathematics). Hence 10^zillion <> 1 zillion. Note that I do not need to be able to define one zillion. :)

Well, I think I should correct it to 10 to the zillionth power = 10 zillions (supposing, as the context suggests, that 1 zillion > 0). Thanks for the correction anyway!

Or better, the World Championship Title would be abolished.
doesn't really mean anything coz a human can't possibly memorize everything
nothing

the first move to solving chess is 1.g4
Well, I do suspect that this starting position might prove easier to solve, anyway:

Well, you should probably at least have to demonstrate that it's not zero (in which case 10^z = z).
hey papa here - i agree with atoms. i gave up with the openings - computers solve open. and smany humans are good. Fisher suggested random upset - maybe a good idea.
