The fact that almost anyone can learn how to play perfect tic-tac-toe does mean the game has no scope for professional play. If chess could be solved so that almost anyone could learn all correct openings and variations by heart easily, it would affect the game as it is played on the highest levels severely. That if is only science fiction, however. Solving the game is far different from producing a world champ -class player.
