Yishan Wong Recalls AI Professor on Chess Solving

Yishan Wong, identified as an executive who founded Terraformation and previously led Reddit, posted a reply discussing an old conversation with his artificial intelligence professor. The professor had explained that chess could be fully solved because dynamic programming makes the total number of moves manageable, as many sequences lead to identical board positions. According to the recollection, a computer the size of the moon would suffice for this task when considering technology from late-90s, with adjustments for later scaling.
