Can you please grab your dictionary first?  "can be" is _not_ the same as "has
been".

Chess is a provably finite game.  It can not go on forever due to the 50-move
rule (not to mention 3-fold repetition).  Any finite game can most definitely be
solved, given enough time.  Or fast enough hardware.  But not today.  Not yet...

Who can post a perfect game?  Who could evaluate such a game and prove it is
perfect, until chess is solved...
