Elon Musk vs Chess.com: Will Chess Be Solved by AI?

In a moment, Elon Musk posted a long article on X, claiming that chess would be completely solved by AI in the future. Musk wrote that 'chess is too simple compared to real life', pointing out the lack of fog of war, lack of technology tree, and symmetrical starting positions. Immediately, the Chess.com account - which had been a pillar of the online chess platform - responded with a quick series of tweets, citing historical data and some witty jokes. One of them was 'Just skills, intern'. That moment was not just a hollow argument; it opened a deep crack in how we perceive the nature of chess - an intellectual sport once considered the pinnacle of human intelligence.
