I am quite certain that Chess can be fully solved

Certifiable genuis thinks an impartial game can be solved, I wish I were capaple of making brilliant insights like that. No, seriously, I missed the first day of game theory 101 and need Sprague-Grundy explained to me.

Aw shit, I haven’t played in an eternity and forgot stalemates were a thing, which I really should have taken five seconds to consider. I’m deleting my snarky comment and hoping no one other than you saw it.

I think what makes it not impartial is that the white player cannot move black pieces (or vice versa). in an impartial game which moves are available is only allowed to depend on the game state, not on which player you are

Declaring black wins draws would be more in the spirit of how the game is played at high level. I don’t think anyone seriously considers the possibility that black could have a forced win in chess.
