No, it's not close to being solved. I made a new estimate recently at there are about 8.7E+45 unique positions: https://github.com/lechmazur/ChessCounter. You don't need to analyze all of them to generate the proof but it's still far beyond our computational and storage capacities to solve chess.

For comparison, there are about 10E+49 atoms making up our planet.
