Question by Michael: In the game of Chess, will there ever be a proof that white can force mate by virtue of moving first?
It seems to me that one day a computer should be able to crunch all possible outcomes and determine that either white could force mate by opening a certain way, or black could force a draw by responding a certain way, before a game is ever played. Like tic-tac-toe or checkers. Has anyone done any work on this?

Answer by Gerry Mander
Yes, this will be solved as a victory for white. It is just a question of when.
