Subject: Thought on chess positions (and solving chess?!)

This is not even an idea as much as a useless half-thought born in the mind of a
bored highschool student.  Still I thought it might be slightly relevant.

Imagine a set of overlayed transparencies, each with a chessboard printed on it,
completely blank becides one piece.  For every piece, black and white, there are
64 transparecies, each having a blank board it and one piece on a different
square each time.  Now total you would have 768 transparence sheets.  If you
overlay them in front of you, every possible position on a chessboard can be
reached by removing certain ones.

Could a computer some how internally sort its way through these 'transparecies'
extremely fast?
