It’s not a technicality. We’re discussing whether chess is a “solved game” or not.

That’s a much different standard than whether Stockfish can reliably beat Magnus Carlsen. Of course the engines are better than humans. They have been for a long time at this point.

Chess is not a solved game. If there was a bot that could provably always draw, that would mean it’s solved (as a draw). To be clear, I’m not saying that the bot would just have a perfect drawing record - I’m saying that it literally could never lose, even when playing against the absolute best possible moves.

And N should be Not (Knot) or Nome (Gnome)

No there is no algorithm that can guarantee a draw.
