Which side in chess would win if both players played “perfectly”?

Question

Isn’t chess a “finite” game where no luck is involved? Are computers able to calculate perfect strategies for both players?

And if yes, then which side is at the advantage?

Answer 1

mathmatically, i believe it was deduced that white has the highest possiblity if both sides equally played at the same level. White having the OPENING move, means it gets to direct the game and theory that will be played and therefore get to CHOSE the next move that will be countered by the perfect response, therefore knowing what to play next. the black would be on the ultimate never ending defense, every single time. So white would have this advantage, ever single time. based on the fact they were both playing perfectly and without human errors.
