What will happen if chess got solved?

Good post. Whether accurate or not.
Adding clocks to the game of chess has been a great idea.
It 'solves' many issues of the game.

Yup.

Two words:

Quantum computing.

Quantum computers can't even play chess, much less solve it. You might want to read up on what types of problems quantum computers are actually applicable to.

That's right.
With today's computer hardware - chess is not solvable.
That might change someday. Somehow.
Trillions of years from now.
Sooner than that? Its possible but the hardware and the software would have to improve so very very much.
Even very strong chess engine software gets positions wrong that humans who aren't strong players can see the engines are obviously getting wrong.

So - software too. Would have to improve a lot.
With 10^44 chess positions possible ...
to get some scale - the observable universe is 'only' 10^24 kilometers across ...
'Only'.

Spock would say to Kirk 'Captain - Even at Warp 7 the Enterprise couldn't even get to Andromeda in a lifetime of ours.'
Kirk: 'Indeed Spock. But lots of things close by at a mere Warp 2 that are reachable and fascinating.'
Spock: 'Indeed Captain. Fascinating things.'
Kirk: 'Our ancestors on 2024 earth didn't have the technology to even reach Alpha Centauri'
Spock: 'That is correct Captain. Not nearly. And the primitive earthlings of that time could not solve Chess either.'
Kirk: 'We still haven't solved chess. Isn't that right Spock?'
Spock: 'Yes Captain but some of those earthlings of that time entertained the notion they could solve it in five years 'with enough money'.
Kirk: 'Even on Vulcan your people aren't close to solving it. Right?'
Indeed Captain.

Hmm.

nope it will be interesting now pls look at my profile page

Why?

I like ducks🦆👍

Okay.

Hmm.

Elon Musk is in this.
"Along with the advancement of technology, Elon Musk feels the game of chess can be fully decoded by computers in the near future. Musk seems not to be a big fan of the battle between two human brains. The Tesla CEO has predicted that the sport will be solved within a decade like checkers was."
The so-called 'Quantum computers' cannot do the job.
But it'll take a 'Quantum Leap' in computer speed and bigger not just faster computers and would there be 'much better algorithms' - in other words much better software too?
The tablebases are struggling terribly to make the jump from 7 pieces to 8 pieces and that's without even considering castling possibilities.
The people in that project have been working on 'better algorithms' for many years now.
There's going to be a 'quantum jump' in the software?
-----------------------
Elon Musk in this? The money's there.
But Elon apparently not a chess fan.
----------------------------------------
There's no crystal ball.
We can't be certain chess 'won't be solved' in a few years.
But we can't be 100% certain the sun will come up tomorrow either.
--------------------------
If Elon Musk finances the project and that leads to 'chess got solved' in a few years then 'what will happen'?
I would say 70% chance that Elon plus some members here will feel and act very Smug about that.

Interesting.

Hmm 🤔 interrestano

Hmm.

Even if chess got solved, only very powerful engines would play perfectly.

Hmm.
