Chess is not “solved”. Solved doesn’t mean computers can beat humans, it means for any chess board position we can tell whether white wins, black wins, or the game is drawn with perfect play. We would know if the starting position was drawn, for example.

No computers now or in the foreseeable future will be capable of solving chess. It has an average branching factor over 30 and games can be over 100 moves.
