a game of chess has finite number of positions. but nobody is able to solve it.
therefore it makes no sense to speak in illusions and call a move
right / wrong / drawish

with claiming that your judgement is accurate.

it can't. only if it is a mate in x. or the game is in tablebases.
but not the whole game so far.

therefore : what does it help you to know that there is a key opening that door,
when YOU don't have the key and cannot open the door now ?

when i am not able to know which move is right, or wrong, i can only try
to come near to the truth.

but i am never 100% sure.

life is also finite.
your life, my life.
but you don't have the power or force to find out which decisions in your
life were right or wrong.

maybe one day when your life is over, you can backtrack from heaven :-))
and see that you wasted your life-time doing computerchess :-))

but as long as nobody knows accurate, you should not try to reduce the game
ONLY on 3 stages. as i would not reduce your or my life on 3 stages too.
