I wonder if such a truth exists!
Does a slight innacuracy, if it really IS one, mean that you can lose, if G-d would be playing G-d?
If so, maybe a machine could do this. But of course, it might need brute force at impossible depth, so forget it perhaps?
After announcing mate in 567, then maybe after the opponents reply it can change to more, like 750, or, be called off if the opponent doesn't do the best possible move.
This post was origionally intended for chess thinkers forum, but now that I see I wrote it here, I think it's also OK, except that out of choice I would not have been so commital to put it here.

Yes. Since a game has only 3 possible results, when you are in a lost position, then God could beat you no matter what

The theoretical Quantum computers would be able to do this.

No, mate in 567 means that the perfect defence is mated in 567. If you play a non perfect defense, the number decreases faster, so it would become mate in 200 or even mate in 3.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

I am sure the 32-men tablebases will be released in a year or two. By then all the secrets will be revealed.

This was obviously a mistake by me, but you corrected it to what I meant.
