Hi Dann, it is not necesary to store or search any big tree to solve chess. There is actually a polynomial P, whose variables are the number of each piecetype on each square (it can be only zero or one) and the castling and e.p. rights (I am assuming the position has not been repeated, for practical purposes it is ok to do that), which orders the chess positions with their theoretical value (i.e. P takes higher values for white wins than for draws, and lower values for black wins than for draws). Of course nobody has found any such polynomial, and I do not expect it to be found during my lifetime, but they exist and they provide a solution to the game of chess doing only searches of depth one. José.
