I wrote a program to solve chess once. After I realized that it would take a massive amount of computing resources to finish in my lifetime, I abandoned the project.

Most interesting to me is that it really isn't that hard to create a program to solve chess (i.e. the logic behind it), it just would take too much time/money to actually do it.

It's much more difficult to create AIs and approximations like this.

Kinda weird once you realize that fact...approximating a solution to chess is much more difficult, logic wise, than actually solving chess.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if chess is solved in the next couple decades or so.
