Chess is not solved yet, so there is no answer to that question. The perfect game could be draw, white wins or black wins. But it will never ever be calculated because the calculation would need more calculations than there are atoms in the entire universe. 10¹²⁰ possible chess games vs 10⁸⁰ atoms in the universe.
