user15896: Starting from the starting position, how many moves deep have we analyzed the possible continuations?

user825: Are you talking about Perft (https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/Perft%20Results)? Take a read on the article.
Don't use "solved", that's why you're getting negative votes, use "Perft".
To my knowledge, we have searched every single possibility up to depth of 15. Nobody has done 16 yet.

user4418: Chess doesn't work like that. It isn't "solved" from the start position. It is "solved" from the end.
Currently chess has been "solved" for all positions where there are 7 or fewer pieces on the board.
