Maybe. All I can recall is the chess program Deep Blue beating Garry Kasparov in 1997. And I'm pretty sure the software has developed since then.

I think chess is certainly a very complex game, but not a game of infinite choices. The options are limited to the fixed number of chess pieces and squares on the chess board, after all. There's nothing to say that life itself isn't a game of complete information as well, by the way. But it's certainly more complex. Life includes incredible amounts of complexities, of which the game of chess itself is only one tiny part.
