chess is a mystery and this is how it will go down in history!
When do you think chess will be solved?

When you understand how much space a 32 man EGTB would require, you'll understand that it will never be fully solved.
When you understand how difficult relatively simple technical endgames are to play perfectly for humans, you'll understand that even if it were solved, the way humans play would barely be changed, if at all.

There are problems with both space and time in solving chess... even if you were to consider only the "plausible" continuations.

There are more chess positions (including illegal ones) than atoms in the universe.

The number of possible positions is a red herring, there will never be a need to check all of them. It's more likely that an engine will find a forced draw for either side after twenty moves or so and that will be the end of the debate. Mind you that's still a lot of moves to check and won't be happening soon.

Chess will never be solved but I predict within a century quantum computers will come close. By then humans will be extinct, destroyed by A.I. So it won't matter.

A forced draw in 20 moves without checking all moves? This is wrong for multiple reasons 
But sure, a near-solution, with some high degree of certainty below 100%, could be made without building a 32 man EGTB.

Eventually computers will become strong enough to store every possible position possible
Tomorrow.

I solved it, already done....problem is there is more than one solution....

maybe it is already happened. Just not proven and declared. Algorithms are very strong they dont need 32 man TB.

That's not how "solved" works. But sure, with engines being as good as they are, in some small sense we already have a soft solution.
My guess is around 2050
Think about it.
Computers have rose from around 2800 to 3300 in only 20 years, surely, in 33 more years, with all the new technology and neural networks, it could be solved if people really tried

All you have to do is get a bunch of super computers to analyze many different positions, then put the answers on a cloud.
In the year 2525.
Solving chess means finding an optimal strategy for playing chess, i.e. one by which one of the players (White or Black) can always force a victory, or both can force a draw. According to Zermelo's Theory, a hypothetically determinable optimal strategy does exist for chess.
