I can add that I also mean that by practically solving chess I mean that it will
be impossible practically for humans to win against chess programs even when
they get computers to help them.

It does not mean that computers will know to solve every position in chess and
it is possible that they will not know to evaluate a lot of positions when one
side is a pawn up but the point is that I believe that when computers search
deep enough and their evaluation will become better they will not get into the
situation when they have to go to inferior position when the opponent is a pawn
up and it is not clear if it is a draw or a win.
