I've been compared to both Spock and Data...
It is rather obvious for almost all players master or above that with best play for both sides--chess is a draw.
It has already been proven that checkers is a draw and tic tac toe is a draw but chess is far more complicated. To make a spreadsheat showing chess is a draw using the size of the letters in this sentence would be very large--more than the size of the earth is my guess.
So, it is really not practical to discuss what would happen if chess is solved as it is already known chess is a draw but to "prove it" by writing down all the moves is next to impossible.

I found a copy of Bruce Pandolfini's Ultimate Guide to Chess, while in a 2nd hand store in Tennessee this weekend. It is autographed by Bruce. I noticed a chapter title..." Chess = mc^2" .
So much for my idea for a thread entitled..." What opening lines are closest to solved, due to being used so much?
Emphasis on the word "guess".
I think I'll write a fictious story about a writer who gets unexpected help from editors working pro bono instead...
Retroactive edit... It's OK, your post's still dumb.
someone's post has a dumb still?

I'm glad you were here to explain that to me...what would I do without my favorite court jester...?
Oh great, more Shakespeare...

we may think something is impossible to day just because it is impossible today. in the past people thought trains couldn't go faster than 60 miles and they would have laughed if people told you could have trains that goes 200 miles per hour.

Cracking the most secure codes in existence might require a computer farm covering much of North America to run at full speed for 10 years, even if it did not consume all of the Earth's energy in a single day. By contrast, a future quantum computer the size of a building might only take 16 hours and have about the same power requirements as today's supercomputers.
today this is impossible.

Do have an opinion on what lines are closest to being solved?
Fortunately human memory is too limited for it to really matter. While studying engine choices for commonly used openings, I noticed the move choices are so tedious and make no sense strategically to humans, so it wouldn't change the game much. Besides, all of the hot women who work in anf follow chess religiously have already shown the integrity to not go to work for Mr Hefner and are so over qualified for jobs at hooters, they wouldn't get hired if they tried....
