How do we know what chess games are more valuable over others?

The A.I. plays every move it can to not lose the game. Why does our imagination as humans prevent us from seeing the whole picture?

If you think chess is an unsolved game, why do some games in end in draws?

If the game is solved why does one side lose and another win?

Did you learn anything from the games? Or did you find yourself in known boring symmetrical territory after playing many yourself?

Things can be easier to solve when you do not overthink them. I do have something to say to you.
Omg you're still going on about this solved game, it ain't solved for goodness sake , stop. If you think it's solved , join a naughts and crosses website , really boring now, it ain't solved. Look at candidates , just look .........
There can be invaluable information out there some people might not learn. How many classic games could help you today if you did not study them? Someone who does not play chess often was amazed how much history I knew about the game. They did not even know what en passant was, yet you and I take it for granted. I think a particular WC was checkmated by one in recent times. ;)

Well, I wouldn't say our imagination prevents us from seeing the whole picture. On the contrary, it stimulates creativity which aids one's ability to play accurately (This applies to skilled players).

You should also keep in mind that human chess involves mental restraints which causes inconsistency. (Sidenote: A skilled player can keep this to a minimum, depending on how they conduct themselves). Time pressure, emotional factors/ cognitive biases act as mental restraints, affecting decision-making and leading to suboptimal moves or even blunders.

A.I. chess is devoid of emotional tendencies or any form of restraints. In other words, they're built differently.

I second that.

True! from my drunk game in the early hours of this morning.

The A.I. plays every move to avoid losing, but human imagination can limit our ability to see the full picture. While chess is considered an unsolved game, some games end in draws due to the complexity of the game tree. Even if the game is solved, one side may still lose due to imperfect play or the inherent advantage of one side over the other.
