I never understood the interest in solving the game.  In theory, I guess you
could have a computer that can solve the game.  But when that's done, and you
set the 2 greatest Chess players down to play a match against eachother, they'll
still be playing at human capabilities, and it'll still be a case of whoever
makes the second to last mistake wins.

So I'm sure if the interest in computer Chess continues that the game will
eventually get solved, but I don't think that that's very interesting, and
probably it doesn't need to be done all that much.

Refinements in the programs is what's needed, not the ability to solve the game.
