-
and it has three possible outcomes, a win, a loss, or a tie.
-
So let's be careful, the reason it's finite is that
-
if you cycle--I forget what it is--three times then
-
the game is declared a draw, declared a tie.
-
So what's this theorem telling us? It's telling us that
-
there is a way to solve chess. Chess has a solution.
-
We don't know what that solution is.
-
It could be that solution is that Player 1,
-
who's the player with the white pieces can force a win.
-
It could be that Player 1 can only force a tie,
-
and it could even be that Player 2 can force a win.
-
We don't know which it is, but there is a solution.
