I know a bit about chess such as there are more possible games of chess than there are grains of sand on earth. But i was still wondering Is chess just a more complicated version of Tic tac toe (noughts and crosses) in that there is a perfect counter move that black can make so that the game always ends in a draw no matter what move white makes, or is there a way in which white can win everytime no matter what move black makes, Or is being white a disadvantage and could black win everytime? Plus if there is a perfect game (beit it one that allways ends in a draw or a win) do you think that a computer will come up with it?

I think it probbably is like tic tac toe and there is a perfect defence for every white move, but it'll probably be about 50-80 years before computers are powerfull enough to work it out

The perfect game of chess is in fact a draw.
White starts with a slight advantage due to the fact that white moves first.
This small advantage is not enough to force a win if black plays perfectly.
The great thing about chess though is there is not specific definiton of perfect play.
The players try to turn what the other player does into an advantage for themself.
In Grandmaster chess games, obvious blunders are rare, yet there are wins and loses. It is the ability to turn little differences in playing strategy (not necessarily errors per se) to large enough advantages to prove decisive that Grandmasters use to win games.
As for the result of God playing God...
God as white would win more games than God as black, but most of the games would end in draws.

Whichever colour change into well-liked through the mathematical trend He chosen to play. God is the in worry-free words man or woman who can beat a pc at chess each and every time. What you individuals seem forgetting is that chess is 100% mathematical, leaving little to no room for creativity and ingenuity. which signifies that for each interest there's a sparkling direction to victory for one area or the different. And God, having arise with the language of math, knows all of those paths. So for Him, taking section in a interest of chess adversarial to Himself will be about as effective as a math genius scrambling and fixing a Rubik's dice persistently. He'd do it merely as a frame of mind to relax.

Chess is a game of stragegy and as such can in no way be compared to a simple game like tic tac toe

Yes it is predictable and programable. A computer beat the world champ 3 out of 5.

excellent question. If this doesn't have an answer already somewhere in mathematics, then you'd better formally launch it in the form of a Conjecture, and stick your name on it, like Fermat or that one about prime numbers (rieman or something). Sooner or later someone will offer a million quid for the first proven answer.

Chess is infinitely more complicated than 'noughts and crosses'.

I think if God played God someone would cheat.
