This is completely incorrect. We have fully solved chess with 7 pieces, and 8-piece tablebases are in progress. The initial chess position has 64 pieces, and solving gets exponentially harder as more pieces are added.

We can't beat cars at races either yet competitive foot races still exist.
- bombcar 4y agoI took "solved" as in "the computers can whip our asses sixteen ways to Sunday". But the competition in chess was never about the computers, it's about the players. And that's true for many sports, otherwise we'd only ever watch the Olympics.
