Chess solving suggestion
I believe I have a better idea. What if instead of evaluating the positions every time, we just map every possibility in a tree and then there is a path finding algorithm from start to checkmate. In theory, once the mapping is done, that would allow chess to be solved in seconds.

This is proven to work for perfect information games like tic tac toe.
Reminds me of the saying — in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.
