It doesn't scale like that.
It's like saying people get faster every year, so they'll eventually outrun a train. It doesn't make any sense. Only people who know nothing about it talk like that.

Chess will outlive all games. Computer solving chess doesn't take away the Mystery of chess. If people knows the solution to chess is 1 x 10^9 Terabytes, the more people will be fascinated to play chess.
After chess is solved computationally, then computers might stop playing it.
Not sure why you would expect people to stop, though. Just to write down the hypothetical solution would require more paper than the entire Earth could produce.
How can you "memorize a winning line" without memorizing your best reply to each of Black's replies, and then again at the next move, and again...
You underestimate the effect of geometric growth. Suppose that Black has only five plausible replies each time White plays a move. By move 10 (which is STILL solidly in the opening!) You would need to have memorized 9,765,625 different lines... and that's only to reach move 10!

Yeah but people could just start memorising the winning/drawing lines.
Try memorizing the solution to B+B vs N pawnless endgame and let me know how that goes.
If you can't even memorize a "simple" endgame then how do you expect to memorize a winning line from the opening?
I know you're just a kid, so you'll say nonsense from time to time, but I'm disappointed that in spite of your rating you say nonsense like this.
Ok, but modern popular computer games teach plenty of thinking skills and are arguably more complex (and therefore more instructive).
After chess is solved computationally . . .
That's not possible.
It's like saying once we build a skyscraper that reaches Mars. It doesn't make any sense.
There are no physical laws preventing it, but it still doesn't make any sense.
It's kind of good if chess is a dead draw, cuz otherwise people'll start playing the "winning opening". I think in any solid opening Black can make a draw against the best possible White's moves. But people always make mistakes, no one is perfect. It's not possible for a human to play without mistakes.
Look at connect four, checkers, tic tac toe. Nobody plays those games anymore because computers found the perfect way to win or tie in every match. What will happen when chess gets solved? Will chess die entirely? Carlsen will have to find a new job?
Carlsen will find a new job in the future. Run for president like Kasparov?

No, at the time chess becomes solved, Carlsen will probably be enjoying his retired life with Peter Heine Nielsen.
Carlsen won't retire early. He would beat Korchnoi's record of oldest GM within Top 100.

Ooooooooh, that would be another good record to add to his already overflowing trophy collection.
When Carlsen retires,he would write "My 600 Most Memorable Games".

I warned Magnus about this. I told him to look into Bloomingdale's Executive Training Program. But does he listen? No! He's still out there, fooling around with this chess stuff. He could have a nice career in men's haberdashery. Then, when this chess thing goes bust, he'd have something to fall back on. As it is, when the ax falls, Carlsen's gonna' end up slinging burritos at Chipotle........
Didn't you know? Carlsen created a unique Fish and Chips recipe and have it patented. He can live on royalties as fish and chips will outsell hamburgers and fried chickens. It's healthier.

Nonsense like 1.Nh3 and 1.h4 don't need to be memorised. Almost all irregular openings end in an inferior position and once chess gets solved, nobody will prioritise memorising those openings, since they would almost surely lose significantly more often than not.
The number of positions you need to memorise will drastically decrease, since the number of bad openings vastly outnumber the sound ones. And even some lines in the sound openings could be forgone, such as 1.e4 2.Ke2.
Straw man. I said "Suppose that Black has only five plausible replies each time White plays a move", That automatically assumes that you are ignoring crap like Nh3 or Ke2.
You try to obfuscate my point instead of answering it.
