There is another exception. A few months ago, a game was won before the computer ever left its book. Well, that is, when it finally got out of its opening book, it ended up in its end game function and the game was won!!! With the current progress in chess programs, I'll bet that most of chess will be solved in a decade or two, at least serious chess. If we disreguard the useless positons, then the normal game should be solveable. I think. Then a little later, some chess problems were posted and the machines were allowed to think > infinity... and many found mate in 30 or so. As the compition in chess programming developes, chess is getting better all the time. Don't forget that when the first calculations on the probability of solving chess, the worlds biggest computer "ENIAC" only had 4k of memory. IHM Bill
