Sometimes I worry about the future of our species.
If chess is too difficult for humans to solve then how are humans going to solve more difficult problems like how to get to Mars or perhaps even to another solar system.
Sometimes I ask why couldn't real life be more like an X-Men or a Star-Trek movie where everything is advanced and everyone is happy?
You know this really makes me wonder if technological utopianism is achievable at all in our reality or is just a fantasy that is never going to be attained. Maybe in an X-Men kind of world a technological utopia is attainable but just not in ours.

Is there any project coming to solve chess?

Firstly, as I've said before, I think chess can be solved (proven to be a draw) with today's technology. The problem with this forum is that most of us are "game tree people" at heart, and the simple fact of exponential growth makes it almost impossible to prove the outcome of chess with a game tree.
Secondly, today's technology can make you happy - you just have to choose to use it that way. Think of the things that make men happy:
* doing things which are fun and challenging
* having a sense of purpose/mission
* having a sense of making progress
* having equal of higher status to the other men in your environment
* getting a girlfriend you like
Used well, technology can help with all of those things.
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory
