Deep Fritz mated Kramnik in one move. Humanity is screwed now.
Will computers ever solve chess?

Perhaps luck is a the reason Alpha Zero won. Maybe Stockfish's programmer made a mistake and Alpha capitalized on it. Or Stockfish might have gambled on a move and was caught by Alpha. Since humans make mistakes, perhaps computers, which don't make mistakes, should be programming themselves.

No.
Glad to clear that up.

There was no luck involved and chess engines do not gamble.

Apparently already assimilated...er, banned. Funny how often that happens to relatively new posters with trollish usernames/behavior that show up to oppose me

If Stockfish's programmer made a mistake and Alpha won because of it. then it was good luck to Alpha. Computers don't gamble but programmers do.

Programmers do not gamble when they are programming chess.
Solution is draw; how it will be is the question!

One argument for demonetising political videos would be that this dscourages cynical feeding of extreme viewpoints as clickbait. Such commercial motivation has influenced at least one election.
Tech companies (especially platforms) will only change their business models under pressure from anti-trust authorities, which themselves are (rather) weaker than they were in the past.
Anti-trust in the US has become rather toothless regarding Tech and ICT, unfortunately.
I think computers will solve chess eventually. But it won't affect us mere mortals.

Great video @Flank_Attacks. I didn't watch it all, but the fractal chart and attempts to model the pendulum was pretty cool (~21 minutes). Thanks for sharing.😊
