Chess hasn’t been solved and it won’t be in the next decades (barring ridiculous computing advancement involving quantum computing or such drastic changes). You can calculate in your head for the first move: White has 20 options and black has 20 responses; we already have 400 possible positions.
Has chess game been solved?
No, chess is not a solved game. There is something like 10^50^50 possible games, and more like 10^120 reasonable games (this is called the Shannon Number). There might be something closer to 10^70 good games, and probably much less great games.

Indeed, some expertly played games (grandmaster-level play) have been as short as 16 moves. For these reasons, mathematicians and game theorists have been reluctant to categorically state that solving chess is an intractable problem.
Is there an endgame tablebase for solving chess?
Endgame tablebases have solved chess to a limited degree, determining perfect play in a number of endgames, including all non-trivial endgames with no more than seven pieces or pawns (including the two kings). One consequence of developing the 7-piece endgame tablebase is that many interesting theoretical chess endings have been found.
