    Solving a game similar to chess means finding route(s) where a player can always force a victory (or a draw, in the case of chess).

    With this concept in mind, it’s easy to see why it’s hard to solve. The number of permutations of positions after the first few moves is gigantic.

    We do have solutions if there are few pieces in the board (up to seven). But every piece added requires more computing power and more storage to memorize all possible variations.

    It could be solved eventually, but we are not there yet.

    There is an article on wikipedia about solving chess.
