However, chess is far from being solved. There are an estimated 10^130 positions and even a selective search of 50 moves is far from adequate to bridge the gap between opening and endgame. However the strength of today’s engines is far above the best humans. Magnus Carlsen (the world champion) would probably score no more than 10% against Stcokfish on decent hardware and would struggle to win against Stckfish running on a meager iPhone.
