I or whoever resolves this market will make a best-effort evaluation of the total number of floating-point operations that have been executed by humanity or its descendants at the time chess is solved. Solved is "ultraweak" - only a proof of the outcome with optimal play is needed.

https://aiimpacts.org/global-computing-capacity/ suggests that global compute capacity was something like 10^21 flops; assuming that this was on for all 24 years of this century as an approximation of all computer history gives an estimate of 24*365*24*3600*1e21 which is roughly 1e29 flops
