Randall you put it perfect:
"It may have to examine 10^120 positions along the way, but it doesn't have to
memorize them."

That solves everything! Chandler don't you agree........?

And another example that solve everything, since you didn't like this with
Connect 4:

Suppose we have a game of NIM that consist of 10^300 piles and each pile has
10^300 matches.
And white playes first. This game has even more positions than Chess. But i can
show you the solution altough i'm living inside this small universe......Can you
figure out why...........? I haven't stored all these positions anywhere but i
still can solve it..................
