I have a close friend who is a top engineer at a quantum computing manufacturer and he told me that by 2026-7 they will have the worlds first large (several hundreds of logical qubits) commercially viable quantum computer.
I’m worried that such a computer could solve chess and that this would destroy chess as a sport. Some autistic guy could just memorize 40 moves and become the world champion when his real chess strength is at 1900-level.
Perhaps only Chess960 will survive the quantum era.
