    User interface and public API for probing Syzygy endgame tablebases

  • There is some truth to this.

    In theory, chess is a game of perfect information.

    But in practice, this is only true for ~6-piece endgames: every outcome has been / can be computed. But for any middle- or early-game position, the amount of finite information greatly exceeds any person's or computer's capacity, practically speaking.

    In concrete terms, the tablebase for 6-piece endgames is ~150 GiB. For 7-piece, it's 16 TiB.
