JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month agoIt’s definitely not solved. Even stockfish has been beaten by more advanced AIs, and there is always the possibility of making even better ones.
Also, humans can’t solve it on their own. With time constraints a human player is unable to make a “perfect” move every time.

Nah in game terms chess is absolutely a solved game. Some meme edge cases do not invalidate that.

The only argument for “chess is not solved” is because of sheer math number but its a flawed argument as any game with sufficient amount of positions would be considered unsolved.
So for all practical intents and purposes - chess is a solved game but people are too attached to admit it.

No, the argument for “chess is not solved” is that unless you can tell me whether or not it is possible for white to force a win, then it is - by definition - not solved.

I mean, yes. Any game with only a small number of possible moves can be solved with brute force trial and error.
All unsolved games must have a “sufficient amount of positions” that brute force isn’t an option, and enough complexity that there’s not a cute maths trick to solve it despite the number of moves.
Chess is one of these unsolved games.
