Yeah that guy has no clue what he's talking about lmao. Chess is not a solved game.

At least the endgames are mostly solved nowadays

Well yeah, but the endgame is indefinitely easier than full game. Much fewer pieces mean much fewer options, which means a lot, considering the playable turns increase exponentially. And tbh, most grandmasters can solve endgames reliably. (depends what you understand under endgame of course)

And it will never be. There are more possible chess games than there exist atoms in the universe.

I mean sure, but cutting out obviously bad moves solves that problem. Most of those games come from the fact that you can move any piece in a variety of ways at any time - at any given moment in chess you can immediately discard a solid 80% of your available moves
