Musk challenges Chess.com: "One day, chess will be fully solved"

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 21:00

Tech magnate Elon Musk once again protagonized an exchange on social media X, this time against popular platform Chess.com, regarding the future of chess and artificial intelligence (AI). The billionaire challenged the platform known for its player rankings and resources for chess enthusiasts.

Musk stated that "one day, chess will be fully solved," suggesting that AI could eventually analyze all possible positions in the game and determine the optimal outcome of each move. This declaration sparked debate about the implications of technology on understanding the game.

The Chess.com platform is one of the largest chess websites in the world, with millions of active users who play, learn, and follow rankings of professional and amateur players. The platform frequently uses AI for game analysis and improving user experience.

The clash between Musk and Chess.com occurs at a time of growing debate about the role of AI in traditional games and how technology can transform the way humans play and understand these games.
