Meh, Noughts and crosses was solved via supercomputer, two perfect players playing each other will always get a tie.
checkers was also solved, as was connect 4
mathematicians dream of one day solving chess.

Apparently solving the game of chess is impossible, or at least cannot be done in the time left remaining in the universe,
"Basically, there are 10^80 or so atoms in the universe, and the game tree for chess has around 10^120 possibilities. If you converted every atom in the universe to a supercomputer, each would have to solve 10^40 combinations. If it could perform 10^15 combinations per second, you would still need 10^25 seconds to solve chess. 10^25 seconds is 3.17 * 10^17 years. The universe is only about 10,000,000,000 (10^9) years old, so we're still off by a factor of a billion or so."

Quantum computing FTW.
Also, don't play any games where counter-moves can be easily found on the internet.

I'm working on a Jamzinian monopoly game that we can play on the forums. Should be completed sometime this week.

Azzoria, why would someone search the internet to play noughts and crosses?
it's not difficult to learn the ultimate strategy's...
and yeah, james, quantum computing pulls processing power from other dimensions according to string theory, this means it has technically infinite processing power...

I think it would be hard to play on a forum though
